Ep. 186 - NFL Week 7: Dumpster Fires & Statement Wins


Listen Later

Week 7 was pure chaos. From AFC North embarrassment to NFC contenders flexing their muscle. The Bums break down every matchup, call out frauds, and somehow defend Joe Flacco’s late-career heater.

Steelers @ Bengals:
“Both of these teams stink.” The AFC North looks like a dumpster fire, but somehow Joe Flacco keeps throwing dimes. Tomlin’s seat might finally be getting warm.

Rams vs Jaguars (London):
What exactly are the Jaguars? Trevor Lawrence might be broken. The Rams, meanwhile, look like a legit Super Bowl contender overseas.

Raiders @ Chiefs:
Raiders stink. Chiefs cruise. Vegas refuses to trade Maxx Crosby for some reason.

Patriots @ Titans:
Do the Titans even like football anymore? Vrabel’s team looks lost, and Henderson can’t buy a carry. Tennessee might be headed for 1–16 territory.

Dolphins @ Browns:
The Browns blow out Miami. With -400 odds of being fired next, when will Mike McDaniel be set free?

Panthers @ Jets:
Justin Fields benched, Tyrod Taylor in. The Jets’ season is a catastrophe. The Panthers aren’t good either, but someone had to win this rock fight.

Eagles @ Vikings:
Philly gets right. Minnesota’s QB situation makes zero sense. J.J. McCarthy’s healthy but benched “for rest.” Sure.

Colts @ Chargers:
Indy looks playoff-ready, while the Chargers are just dumb football right now. Injured or not, it’s the same old story.

Packers @ Cardinals:
Green Bay sneaks by again. “Glass half full, 4-1-1. Glass half empty, you’re almost losing to bad teams.” The Cardinals? Just unpleasant.

Commanders @ Cowboys:
Are the Commanders bottoming out? Jayden Daniels adds a “knee injury” to his resume. Dallas offense looked frisky, defense, not so much.

Giants @ Broncos:
Broncos drop 33 in the 4th, but the Giants’ kicker ruins everything.

Falcons @ 49ers:
Kyle Shanahan might be Coach of the Year. The Falcons continue their Jekyll & Hyde routine, no clue which team will show up weekly.

Buccaneers @ Lions:
The Lions roll while the Bucs’ injury list reads like a CVS receipt. Too banged up to compete.

Texans @ Seahawks:
The Seahawks are fun again. Houston remains the NFL’s biggest mystery. “What is C.J. Stroud?”

Saints @ Bears:
Sloppy but telling. The Bears have a real coach, a real run game, and a defense that showed up. Caleb Williams was off, but it didn’t matter. Spencer Rattler? Rough day.
