Monday Punday flips positive and prescribes Rico DayQuil
A ritual normally dominated 80–20 by fury flips positive after a high-scoring weekend. The resulting list includes Ridley Believe It or Not, Cedric Thrillman, Darnell Money, Glad McConkey, Kade Awesome, Ottenheimer, To Infinity and Devon, Jameis Winston, Whoa Nix, Yay Flowers, Breece Small, That Poop Scott, Troy Stankland, No Bone Zone, Pop Douglas, Tyler Locked Up, Jordan Batterson, Fake London, and favorite Rico DayQuil.
moment
CeeDee leaves a manager 0.9 short despite the second-highest score
An unnamed League of Record manager enters Sunday night needing roughly 34.5 points from CeeDee Lamb. Multiple late touchdowns create hope, but the manager loses by 0.9 while posting the second-most points in the league.
moment
Jason lets the Jets help fill his Dennis Allen thermometer
The official Saints thermometer remains physically mounted behind Jason with only two wins toward the ten-win shaved-head bet. With nine Saints games left, another host proposes combining Saints and Jets wins; Jason agrees to the revised route to losing his luscious locks. Direct frames confirm the thermometer, but no haircut is enacted.
moment
The minibar leads to Marshawn's Hennessy backpack
A Dallas sideline-drink mystery is imagined as hydration, 99 Bananas, white grape juice, or a minibar bottle. That recalls Marshawn Lynch telling Peyton Manning his pregame shot was Hennessy kept in his backpack, after Manning apparently expected a medical injection.
moment
Papa Josh trades for Richardson and starts Bo Nix anyway
Papa Josh acquires Anthony Richardson from a host for two FAAB, then wisely goes to waivers and starts that same host's Bo Nix stream over his new quarterback—and uses it against the host.
moment
Al loses audio and Falcon says it is a long season
With Arizona temporarily seeded above Green Bay and San Francisco, a host asks Al how he feels; Al cannot talk and receives a 'very good audio' jab. Falcon is then asked about the 49ers looking up at the Cardinals and audibly answers, 'Long season.' Published video cuts to a fully occupied three-human Deucers Alley during the exchange.
moment
NFL headquarters buys bidets and PIN-free ATMs instead of cameras
While demanding permanent goal-line cameras, the hosts say they have visited NFL headquarters, where every toilet has a bidet and the ATMs do not require PIN codes. The league is told to use that money to buy cameras. Direct frames show the host desk only, not headquarters or a custom visual.
moment
Richardson gets VR, a side field, and a giant Dave & Buster's machine
Anthony Richardson taking himself out because he is tired becomes a full remedial academy: a separate side field for target practice, Jeremy's Jayden Daniels VR comparison, an enlarged Dave & Buster's football-hole machine that Richardson might break, and a twenty-play script snake-drafted backward, flipped, and mirrored.
moment
Mike defends Walker inside the No Bone Zone
Kenneth Walker's nine-carry stat line triggers a No Bone Zone, but Mike rejects the boo: a snap flew roughly thirty yards behind Geno Smith, Walker recovered it and gained yardage back, yet received a negative run; later Seattle used Charbonnet because the game was lost and protected Walker for the next week.
moment
Falcon is still at work, sweating, caffeinated, and on a timer
A breaking-news cue says the Falcons showed up to work, but the hosts say everyone already knows Matt appears; the news is that he is still there. During a direct full-booth cut, Falcon confirms coffee, is described as sweating, and is characterized as wanting the long show wrapped because another work timer is running. The video confirms his presence, not a close-up of sweat or mug contents.
summary
Episode notes
Andy, Jason, and Mike are all present. Monday Punday flips from its usual fury to an approximately 80–20 positive reaction and supplies Ridley Believe It or Not, Cedric Thrillman, Darnell Money, Glad McConkey, Kade Awesome, Ottenheimer, To Infinity and Devon, Jameis Winston, Whoa Nix, Yay Flowers, Breece Small, That Poop Scott, Troy Stankland, No Bone Zone, Pop Douglas, Tyler Locked Up, Jordan Batterson, Fake London, and Rico DayQuil. An unnamed League of Record manager needs roughly 34.5 CeeDee Lamb points, receives almost all of them, and loses by 0.9 despite scoring the league's second-most points. The physical set still carries Jason's official Dennis Allen thermometer: direct published frames visibly show the ten-slot prop behind him, while dialogue says the Saints remain on two wins with nine games left and Jason even accepts combining Saints and Jets wins to reach the ten-win shaved-head threshold. No haircut occurs. A Cowboys drinking tangent imagines 99 Bananas or minibar juice, then recalls Marshawn Lynch telling Peyton Manning his pregame shot was Hennessy from his backpack. Papa Josh receives praise for acquiring Anthony Richardson for two FAAB but wisely waivering and starting the host's Bo Nix stream instead. When the Cardinals are temporarily above the Packers and 49ers, the program cuts to a fully occupied three-human Deucers Alley: Al's audio fails, Falcon audibly answers 'Long season,' and Papa Josh is also visible in the row; no cardboard bear is present. The hosts demand goal-line cameras after recalling that NFL headquarters has bidets on every toilet and ATMs that need no PIN. Anthony Richardson's self-requested breather becomes a separate target-practice field, Jeremy's Jayden Daniels VR suggestion, an oversized Dave & Buster's passing machine, and snake-drafted scripted plays run backward and mirrored. Mike's Kenneth Walker defense reopens the No Bone Zone: he argues a negative run came from recovering a snap thirty yards behind the play and that Seattle intentionally rested Walker once the game escaped. Near the close, a direct booth cut again shows all three producers while Falcon is told everyone knows he showed up but the real news is that he is still at work; he confirms coffee, is described as sweating, and wants the long episode wrapped because he is on a timer. The camera establishes Falcon's presence, but the coffee and sweat are dialogue details rather than independently legible close-ups. No costume or physical punishment is enacted, and no Jay Griz image, drop, mention, or fill-in appears.
I mean, the downs play, yes. You're right. You're right. Anthony Richardson ranks 222nd in completion. Let me write this down. 222. 22 out of 225 quarterbacks that have 250 plus dropbacks since the year 2000. You cannot. Has your opinion changed on the debate? Because you say you have to develop Anthony Richardson. Now that can be done on the field. but that would be the argument for every player that's played too soon in history. Yes, my opinion has changed. You develop him on the side. Because, yeah, 44% completion percentage cannot be a starting quarterback. I mean, that's what he is. And here's what you do. You don't, you don't develop him with, you know, you're not, you're not watching film and breaking that down as much as maybe you need. What I would do is get him target practice.
I'd just put him, I'd build a field over to the side where you can take snaps and hit a target. And I genuinely, I'd love to see him succeed. His physical gifts and tools are amazing. I'm not trying to, like my agenda here is not to talk ill of this person forever. Like I hope he can develop, but he wasn't ready to be a quarterback. Mike, during the draft season, we talked about him as a prospect. Yeah, I hated it. There's just some basic lines you have to cross. to be able to stay quarterback in the NFL. And a 44% completion percentage, it doesn't matter how much you run. We've seen this now. Justin Fields has lost his job in two places. Justin Fields can run the football, right? Deshaun Kaiser could run the football. I mean, there were players that are mobile, but I mean, he is one spot ahead of Team Tebow on that list.
Tim Tebow was 223. Oh, that's not even a joke. No. No, that's real. Actual real thing. Out of 225. Hey, Tim Tebow won games. We want a playoff game. Yeah, and Richardson can win a game with one big play and running the football. Jeremy brings up a good point here. Like, where, Jaden's VR. Jane Daniels uses VR to practice. Yeah. Are other people, are they just really loud about it and other people are doing it or they're the only team? Obviously, it's not just the VR, but you can't rule out that this thing is helping. I'm not sure the VR is going to fix the mechanics. It'll fix processing, but I don't think it's going to fix your mechanics. And it's just processing, I think, is the hardest thing to fix, though. Being able to read the defense really fast. What about throwing the ball to that spot over there? That's something that I think you can actually, like good coaches can fix that.
where processing is... I thought accuracy was not the thing that you can fix. That's been the story with... That's what made Josh Allen so wildly surprising in Lamar Jackson's attention. It's extremely difficult to fix it. But if I don't know, I don't know enough about quarterback play to tell you what, like, Reed, what Anthony Richards is doing and this is what's wrong. Well, if he just, after practice goes Dave and Busters, it just works on the little machine where it's got the holes? Those are tiny footballs. You need a machine like that, but it's the big. He can bring his own, he can bring his own. It would break the machine. It would not be it. And he could break the machine with the small ones. I did, I did ruminate on something. You know how we've had these discussions about the scripted plays and the jokes about why don't we script more? I think I finally figured out, and this is not rocket science here, but I figured out why they can't do that. They can't practice enough.
Right. Because the script is not what I've written down on a piece of paper. It's what I've practiced. They go out there and they execute the 20 plays or the 15 plays because that's all they have time. They don't let them practice that much. You know what I would do then? I'd run those 20 plays again. No, I'll just repeat it. They're like, all right, we're going back to the beginning. Until they catch on. No, they should. Snake draft it. Just do the plays in reverse order on the way back. Exactly. Just flip them all. You know what I mean? Do the same thing. No, I know. Now mirror it. Audible right trigger and then you hit the mirror. Gino had a horrible game. It was not going to be good without D.K. We knew it. This was predictable. We said it. Buffalo's good defense. Also, a lot of bit rain.
in that game. So throw that one out. Do we have a boo button? Because I'm not seeing a stat line this bad. Kenneth. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. No bone zone, baby. Nine for 12? It was terrible. No. He did the right thing on a play where the center snapped the ball way over Gino's head. Way over. It was like 30 yards or so. Right. Kenneth Walker has to be the one to go pick it up and he gains. He gets 10 yards back. Right. Oh, but he lost like 20. But on the play. There's a negative 19 yard run. Nine carries though. Yeah. So here's what else. Did we not read the no bone zone? No, here's what happened in this game. So yes, Mike is right. He got a negative 20 yard play where he had a good play. He picked up extra yards and it just counted against him. So that stinks. What else happened is this game got out of hand pretty quickly. And later in the game, they, they.
They just went to Charbonnet. They charmed it up. They charbed it up and they said, you're going to be healthy for the next game. Like they, I was playing against Kenneth Walker in two leagues. I was paying very close attention. And they just said, yeah, don't worry about it. Take the rest of the game off. Well, look, it was disappointing because he had some opportunities around the bone zone. Giovante Williams did two, five targets, four catches for eight yards. He had two carries inside the five for negative one yards against Carolina. What do we do with this information? I don't know. I thought we were trending to a place that we could be. Like trustworthy? Yeah, we could be okay going with Giovante. But this was, it was weird. There was so much play action. I know by the end, Javante got a 17 carries. We'll absolutely take what he got, 17 and 5 targets. But they like kept play actioning. I mean, they were really featuring Bo Nix. Oh. Breaking news. What do we got?
I just wanted people to know that the falcons showed up to work today. Oh, no, they know. Look at that over. It's more of a he's still at work. Yeah, he's still at work. They know he's usually showing up. You got coffee in that mug? Yep. Okay. Well, oh, you're sweating. He's like, he's like, this show's running long, guys. I'm on a timer. Let's wrap this up. Oh, man. Wide receiver duds, tight-in duds. We'll run through them real quick in the, uh, in the, uh, The whirlpool of New York, Devante Adams, four for 54. Dude, it's, that's pretty wild here of 30 yards in the first week, 54 in this particular week. And do you guys know who the wide receiver five on the season is right now? Is that Garrett Wilson? Garrett Wilson. He has certainly been, even if you look at expected fantasy points since Devonty Adams has showed up, he has been the primary. He's been the one.
and Adams has been being worked into the two. I don't know if that's going to stay for the full season. But honestly, I mean, there's been a couple of plays where Adams and Rogers seem strangely out of sync. I think Rogers is, like, do you think he plays football for them next year? Yeah. I don't know. I haven't thought about that one. Okay. Jalen Waddle, just four for 45. Bummer. Amari Cooper just one for three. where Keon Coleman was great. He made some amazing plays. And then Khalil Shakir is just, he reminds me of what Cole Beasley was doing for them a few years ago. He is just a release valve. I don't like the way that they call this offense for Dalton Kincaid. The plays that Kincaid's involved in are never high value plays. But Shakir gets the PPR points. Coleman's been getting the contested catch points. He deserves a ton of credit because we were pretty hard on him to start the year.
He almost had another big one down the sideline, too. He could have caught. He's been good. Coleman was great in this game, and the targets were early and often because the bills didn't run or didn't throw a lot later in the game. But, you know, the first two drives was like Keon and Coleman, Keon and Coleman, he was the number one read. A couple players we hoped for more from Cole come out, just one target. I'm going to correlate the lack of commit involvement to the lack of completion percentage for Caleb Williams. That's a bad game plan. Yeah, I mean, you could throw in DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, everybody. That's fair. That's fair. But one target, though. Gross. Jake Ferguson, eight targets, just six for 23. That's what I'm seeing. They're dysfunctional, man. There were so many plays where it was he had time. Like, its deck is moving around the pocket for.
What I think is a very fair, adequate amount of time. And then it's just check it down to Ferguson who's in the flat. Yeah. And he gets immediately hit. Something's, something's weird, man. Yeah. Something's weird there and in New York. Tomorrow we've got waivers and streaming quarterback options on Wednesday, hungry for more, the Thursday night preview. And Thursday, Thursday's Halloween. Are we still doing that? No, I think so. All right. I mean, we do have some updated news here. Brian Thomas Jr. could miss two to four weeks with a chist uh chist yeah a chest rib injury suffered on sunday and christian kirk's out for this season wow gee whiz i guess we'll talk about that on the waiver show tomorrow but that's a bummer for brian thomas he's been playing it playing some great football so that'll do it we'll let the falcon get to his business his real business and we'll be back with you tomorrow thanks for tuning in check out join the foot dot com if you want to become a supporter of this community goodbye
