Episode 1 Below Average Takes

So first NFL week in the books.

Yes, the regular season is upon us.

It's starting to get a little chilly over here up north.

Kind of giving me those Game of Thrones vibes.

So yeah, so it started off with the Patriots versus the Seahawks.

Now that was a tough game to watch.

In my opinion, I don't believe it shows how good the Seahawks could actually be.

But we're not focused on that.

We're going to focus more on the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chicago Bears.

So, first to start it off is the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Now, 20-13 doesn't really represent what the game looked like.

There was... times where it looked like this game could bust wide open for Pittsburgh.

And what I mean by that is the defense was absolutely dominant.

I mean, for the first time, first time in a long time, I could actually say I saw the Pittsburgh Steelers win a 4-3 defense.

Normally, we would run a 3-4 base defense.

We didn't even register a 4-3 defense all of 2025.

But that's thinking a 4-3 defense, a very, very, very common defense in the NFL.

And we never even registered that formation last year.

And to have been the highest paid defense two consecutive years in a row, that is kind of shocking, to be honest.

um let's see our offense also ran 64 plays 64 plays we didn't run 64 plays on offense until week 12 last year insane absolutely insane to think about the weapons we had on offense or have on offense and we only ran 64 plays in week 12 of last year and it's week one so the mike mccarthy effect is in full effect.

And I get it.

You guys are like, oh, George, you guys beat the Falcons.

They didn't have anybody at quarterback.

Yeah, I understand that.

But when you watch the game, you've seen the drop passes by DK Metcalf.
