Shane Brennan

It doesn't get any easier against that Denver defense.

Look, you mentioned, Shane, about Bo Nix and...

The lack of deep balls and the lack of anything approaching the sort of explosives that we saw Denver being able to pull off at times last season.

But they still look like they're going to hang in every game and they look like they're going to give themselves a chance of winning every game.

And there's a few reasons behind it.

I completely agree with the loss of Thornton and Worthy obviously not being there.

Rashid Rice is... potentially gonna play but it seems up in the air there's a lot of conflicting reports about how well that's going um there for him but the biggest thing for me is is the broncos offense the third they're ranked 30th in the league for total offense um per game 270 uh third down conversion 31 conversion rate on that which is not great um Shane said all he needs to say about Bo Nix and how much he dislikes the very small amount of yards he's throwing per attempt there.

And there's something about this defense for KC that makes me feel like they're going to get the win here.

Texans, Saints, Giants, and 49ers are all out trick-or-treating as they are all on a bye this weekend.

Shane Brennan, Barry Adams, and Craig Rigden are with me.

Conor Brophy to look at the matchups between those teams.

who are in spooktacular action.

The industry isn't happy.

Charge UK's Shane Brennan called the recommendations too little, too complex, and too slow.

BEV's boss says his wholesale electricity costs are up 40 to 50%.

I can't verify that figure.

That was the game that lost to the Ravens, wasn't it, when the lights went out in New Orleans? DeForest Buckner, a very welcome recruit back in San Francisco to play for Kyle Shanahan's former line-up and strengthen that defensive line for them.

Ciarán O'Donovan, you were in Paris with Shane Stade de France over the weekend to see the Steelers win their second international series game in a row after winning in Dublin, of course, against the Vikings last year.

Aaron Rodgers, you got to converse with your former hero when he was a Green Bay Packer.

You asked him a question in the postgame press conference and it's produced one of the big stories of the week in the NFL.

Look, two of the big talking points in American sports media about the Steelers this week and today and yesterday are, number one, that Aaron Rodgers is balling at the moment, and the Steelers are a formidable outfit.

I mean, they might not be the prettiest team or most talented top-to-bottom offensively, but they are absolutely maximizing what they...

And obviously the second talking point are the comments that Aaron Rodgers made with regards to his thoughts on player welfare regarding international travel and it's funny myself and Shane were debating before we went down to the press conference I had the green mic and Shane was you know we were saying you know do we use the mic do we not use the mic what's the best sound quality.

And just before that, I ended up sticking it up there.

They might as well be playing playoff football.

Myself and Shane saw them in London get it together.

The offense in particular was humming.

They haven't quite gotten enough of a tune out of that defense yet.

And I think that's the...

I mean, it's as simple as that.

Not to oversimplify it, but myself and Shane were talking in Paris, and I mentioned the 49ers, and yes, they're one of the most solid teams, and they remain one of the most solid teams top to bottom, and I don't think anyone's going to feel like the bottom is going to fall out in San Francisco all of a sudden.

But at some point, these injuries have to start taking their toll.
