Today is Monday, October 13th, week six. We start in Carolina where Brian shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shots everybody. And Heimer was trying to get America's team above 500 on the season in the wake of the Meow Mix retirement. What? Don't count the Carolina Panthei.
Theirs dead because he co-daddle said, I'm him, running like he needed to use a gender-neutral bathroom, scoring twice and getting 239 from scrimmage. Brysis Young did his best to out-duel Iraq Prescott, who ironically was the one throwing bombs to George W. Bush Pickens, the only bright spot in the offense. Wait, wait, Teej.
I'm receiving news that Javante Brian Williams was also claiming that he was targeted as well. The Panthers move to 2-0 post-Meow Mix after a walk-off field goal from Ryan Fitzgerald. Panthers 30, Cowboys 27. We go to Baltimore where Pooper Rush is playing like a number two quarterback as the Ravens are looking to dig their way out of their biggest hole yet.
Puka Nakua'd in a frayed season has been a blur so far as his uniform changed from NC 17 to 12 and no one was scoring in the first half, but then Kyron Williams-Wallace declared prima nocta on the Baltimore end zone.
The Ravens had several chances in the red zone, but Mark Andrews-Tate tried to impose his will and got flattened like a European pancake and couldn't beat the statutory crepe allegations.

Chapter 3: What insights are shared about the Dolphins and Chargers matchup?
Dave Matthew Stafford had the ants marching down the field, finding Tyler Higbee Baby one more time for some TDs that still look great after all these years. Snoop bluntly made his way out of the backwoods and onto the field after the game and went up in smoke as the Ravens dipped to 1-5 against Puna Ford and the Rams. The Rams win, 17-3. Puna Ford's on the Rams? He was on the Chargers.
Ah, we go across the pond where memes has promised for a great boomer. In foggy London town where we imagine all the people who had to wake up early to watch Justin Nathan Fielder say, I hope you're hungry for nothing after passing for net negative 10 yards.
JK Dobby the Elf. J.K. Dobby is a free elf, couldn't get it going on the ground, but had to get saved by the Nate Atkins diet who showed the end zone 252 pounds of lean meat as the tight end scored the only touchdown of the day.
Aaron Glennie and the Jets decided to run the clock out in the first half. The new coach had Jets fans thinking that maybe you were going to be the one that saves me. And after all, you kind of suck balls. Not much happened in the second half as the Broncos were serving up fish and chips with the side of Deez Nuts as Will hit the go-ahead field goal.
As Zach Abba in the Broncos defense said, gimme, gimme, gimme your quarterback after midnight. Won't somebody help you as we put the game away? Broncos 13, Jets 11. Great job, memes. We're back to stateside and we head down to Miami where the Dolphins were trying not to be the worst team in the AFC Far East. Everybody did their part.
Kung Fu Tagliavoa was able to hit Darren Great Waller and Jalen Sanity Waddle played like he was in MSG. But just like Mike McDaniel's pants, they came up short. Kamani Vidal Sassoon cut through the hair of the Dolphins' defense all afternoon, and it looked like the L.A. was going to win this one easily.
But after a furious Dolphins comeback, the Chargers, facing a tough loss in the face, dipped into their bag for a Ladd-McConkey bump as he sprinted down the sideline like Mark Sanchez in an Indianapolis alley, putting the Chargers in field goal range and getting the win. The San Diego Soot!
Now we go to Pittsburgh where for Cleveland Browns the times they are a changing as Bob Dylan Gabriel's playbook looked like a complete unknown to him and went from being a folk hero to having his own fans boo him for trying to be too electric. Miles Garrett wanted to put Aaron Rodgers in a spooky sack graveyard, but you can't kill a guy who's already used up his brain's natural supply of DMT.
As Mr. Rodgers took off his slippers and cardigan, teaching the Browns their ABCDK Metcalfs, while the Connor carry-on, my Hayward son, said, Don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry, Shador. The Steelers went 23-9. And now we head down to the Big Easy where Henry Lockwood was on the scene.

Chapter 4: What impact did the lack of sacks have on the Broncos vs. Jets game?
They didn't get any sacks, though, today, which is tough because that's really how they can stay in these types of games and possibly win them is if they're able to get to the quarterback. They didn't do that at all today. Aaron Rodgers looked pretty good. He looked really good today. Yeah, that throw to DK was vintage. The throw to Connor Hayward for the touchdown, vintage Rodgers off-platform.
He looked good.
Chapter 5: How did Aaron Rodgers perform against the Steelers?
The Steelers should just pass the ball to Darnell Washington every down. Dude, when he gets the ball in open space, it's scary. I don't care that he's slow. No one's ever boxed out a glacier before. Right? Yeah. Like, he can just go out there, throw the ball in the air, he'll catch it, and then he'll take two guys with him and get an extra three to five yards afterwards.
It's crazy watching him run down the field with the ball. Like, he is the biggest football player that I've ever seen. Yeah. And he can catch. And he can catch. Most of the time. Most of the time.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of the Browns' scoring struggles?
Yeah, and he's a devastating blocker. His hands are so big. When they have him on the field, it's like, yeah, he will block the shit out of you, and then when he's not blocking, he's going to be open because he's always open because no one's big enough to guard him. Yep. They can just get him the ball. Yeah. The Steelers might be the team that I think they're good, but I don't fully know yet.
We'll see when they start playing maybe some other elite teams. But what the Steelers do have, Aaron Rodgers is their best quarterback they've had since Big Ben got injured. and they have a stranglehold on the AFC North right now. They are 4-1, and the Bengals, who are now starting Joe Flacco, are the second-place team at 2-4, Browns, Ravens, 1-5. that's a significant lead early in the season.
So it feels like it's their division to lose. Would you not agree? I would agree with that. I feel like they are thinking about the Ravens. I'm not saying the Ravens are going to do it and come all the way back, but if you were to ask a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, like, hey, are you confident in your chances to win the division? They'll say, yeah, yeah, we're confident, but the Ravens.
Well, they haven't played them yet. Yeah, if the Ravens beat them twice, that's... You halved it right there. Ravens are still out there. But, yeah, I think the Steelers are in a good spot. They've got competent quarterback play. They've got a true number one receiver. And they've got a solid defense.
Yeah, a good enough defense.
They should have had way more interceptions. They had zero interceptions today. It just kept on. They should have had multiple times. Two or three at least. Yeah. And I feel bad for the Browns. It's now 11 straight games they have not scored more than 17 points. They just cannot score. And it's been like this for way too long. And I don't know. Like, I just... I'm not saying anything new.
It's just like it's a special type of torture to not even have. You know exactly what's going to happen. They're not going to score 17 points. They're going to be in the game in the first half. They're going to lose the game by maybe double digits. Yeah. Is it your time? Maybe. I feel like you don't really have anything to lose if you're the Browns. Yeah, why not? Try out everyone. Yeah.
Bring back Deshaun. I guess you could say best case scenario, Shador goes out there and he plays pretty good. Yeah. And then you could trade him. Yeah. You have nothing to lose. You're not going to make the playoffs. You're not going to win probably more than eight games this year at the very, very best. Because Stefanski's a good coach. I still kind of believe in him.
But they're not winning eight games. They could play 25 games. They're not winning eight games. Yeah, you're not a good team. But just roll the dice on Shador. Again, nothing to lose. Best case scenario, it doesn't work out. Then you send Gabriel back out there. You continue to not win games. You get a better draft pick. Put Shador out there. Yeah.

Chapter 7: What happened to Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers?
The ankle dislocation, he's probably out for the year. They just can't catch a break. You're going to need to find some more dead bodies every morning for Mac Jones to see. It's crazy. To get him fired up enough. And then one of their healthy receivers, Juwan Jennings, has five broken ribs and high and low ankle sprains. Jesus Christ.
Yeah, there was a report that Juwan Jennings and Kyle Shanahan had to be like kind of separated from the sideline during the game. They were like yelling at each other. And Mac Jones, yeah. Juwan was probably just like, ouch. Yeah. He's like, don't tell me you're hurt, please. Mac Jones battled. He had two interceptions. The first one wasn't really his fault.
The wide receiver just didn't run the route that he was expecting him to run. And, yeah, Kendrick Bourne's good. It's crazy that the 49ers are able to just have guys be good. When a guy gets hurt, it's like, oh, yeah, Kendrick Bourne's going to rip off 140 yards. And they look competitive. Like, the Niners were competing in this game until the second half when things got a little bit out of hand.
Yeah, it was a one-score game until two and a half minutes left. Yeah, so the Niners, I think they'll be fine. I'm still optimistic about them if they can get healthy. But that's a big if I've learned about the 49ers. Because they just keep getting hurt. Yeah, it's tough. How many more Baker? Do we have a lot of Baker primetime games?
Chapter 8: How did the Chiefs perform against the Lions?
Because this is where we need the flex scheduling. They play the Patriots at 1 o'clock. That's got to get flexed to at least 4 o'clock. Because of the Patriots? Both. The MVPs. Oh, we got the Lions next. Oh, Monday Night Football. Yeah.
That's a good one.
We got another doubleheader. Damn. That's going to be the one that we watch. Yeah. Oh, they got a few. They got a Sunday night game and a Thursday night game that's coming up. Good. I need more Baker. Baker, I just want more Baker. Would you rather have them stagger the starts or do them back-to-back with Monday night? Good question. I like the back-to-back. Same. I like to focus on one game.
Yeah. Especially after a long Sunday where it's just like all the football happening at the same time. I like having a night where I can just sit, watch one game, watch the next game. I just saw a lot of people bitching about being late or whatever. I mean, it was late, but I would rather be able to focus. Especially with baseball. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. Two games.
That's probably why they're doing it. To try to take away from baseball? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's two CS games on Monday. Yeah. There's two football games. Damn. It's a good sports night. It's a great sports night. I'm not complaining. I'm just saying I do like having Monday Night Football be like a sacred sit down on the couch. Now, it does suck when you get a bad game. It does suck.
I do like the fact that with two games, you have the ability to be like, all right, if one of them sucks, you got another game to bail you out. Yeah, but when bad games get bad during Monday Night Football, they become funny sometimes. Yeah, right.
That's why I'm actually excited that we have a doubleheader for tomorrow night because if the Bears are bad, it's like, look at the Bills and the Falcons. That game's going on. Sick. It's a big game. I know it's a big game, but I'm saying the Bears playing on national television doesn't usually go well. It's not like a sick time where everyone's just like, this team sucks over and over.
I'd say for the for the commanders to like historically, we've been very bad on Monday Night Football.
Yeah.
