Twas the week after christmas

We've made it, last episode of the year, could you believe it? We didn't. Anyhow, We talk about the emerging story on our favorite QB-chef combo in Russell Wilson and are astounded by the length's the Broncos are willing to go to make sure Russ no longer rides with the rest of Bronco's country. We touch on Flacco's run from couch to elite and how its different than the other journeymen QB's in the league that have shocked and awed us through this season. We take quick break to drop in on the sad state of the bottom of the NFC east before we close out 2023. Thank to all the listeners for making this a great year, we appreciate your support and hope you have a wonderful New Year!

Racketeering In Buffalo

Bill's Mafia has not had a good reason to trash their furniture in a while but maybe things will turn around with the Ken Dorsey out at OC. We wonder if the Bills stagnation have lead them down a road of predictability where the only question left is which Josh Allen will show up game day. We wonder allowed why theres a lack of scoring, if back by committee is worth the commitment and offer an apology to the Denver Broncos before quickly rescinding it. Even one man short this week, we're like a dime defense and cover it all, just for you! 

The Spite Fence

We are halfway through the 2023 season and the NFL is just starting to cook. Sure some teams have already boiled over and others have burnt themselves. We take a look at the charred over Giants, wondering if there is any morsel worth salvaging. We look around the NFL at incredible play coming from the next generation of QB talent and we tread carefully where the talent is running dry. We give week 10 predictions, smoke some stogies and signal our dismay for sign stealing by Michigan before we give you some movie selections and end it Second Mouse style.
