Let Pylons Be Pylons

Mark revels in the knowledge that the Packers playoff hopes are alive. Along with his Packers, there are a number of teams that control their own destiny from here on out. There are only twelve playoff spots and the next two weeks don’t leave any room for error. This is also technically true of the Steelers, though Fizz already laments the futility of their far too late efforts.

After what some think was the possibly the best weekend in football ever, we try to take a step back and decide what good football really is and if we truly saw that on Sunday. There was a lot of good, but there was also a lot of bad. Where is the line and which side of the line would we put them on?

Another weekend of football brings us a lot more inconsistency from most of the NFL. With only a few teams rising to the top this season, the rest of the league is mired in something we like to call "Okay-ness." While some fans are happy that their team isn't a bottom feeder, we argue why they shouldn't be okay with only "Okay-ness."

With Parity running rampant in the 2013 season it's really anyone's guess as to how the season will end. Just when you think you have things figured out, a team will give you their worst effort while some others give you the kind of effort you thought you would see all season. It's a mess trying to sort out who will show up and who will beat who, but we try to get to the bottom of where teams true identity is.

Controversy! Controversy! While here at the show, we do recognize the impact big calls can have on big games, we also realize that games are typically not won or lost on one call. This past week had a couple of controversial calls that did have big impacts, but focusing on those stories neglects the actual football that was played for the other 59 minutes. So, we talk about those minutes, because, football.

There is a debate between the hosts about what makes good football and what makes boring football– like it or not, this is what we have. There are so many teams around the eventual 8-8 mark that the playoffs are not even beginning to look settled and that is something that depresses Fizz and excites Mark. Listen in as they discuss why.

The injuries continue in this season that is basically on life support for star players. How does Aaron Rodgers’ injury change the landscape of the NFC playoff picture? Who can already hang up their cleats?

The NFL season is already halfway through but there are still a lot of questions as to where some teams will finish. The bye weeks are in full effect and some teams are coming out hot and some are falling flat. We take a look and try to figure out which teams will really sizzle in the second half and which ones will fizzle by the end of the season.

Injuries everywhere! It was "Bloody Sunday" this weekend in the NFL with numerous high profile injuries striking teams. There may not be enough QBs left to go around. We take a look at the teams that have weathered the injury bug so far this year, along with the ones who will now have to and the ones who we think won't be able to.

Week 6 in the NFL brought us clarity on some teams and even more confusion for others. When it all comes down to it, now is the biggest time of the season when you will hear people making mountains from mole hill’s or ignoring evidence if it fits a narrative. It’s one of the toughest time to determine what we will see at the end of the season, but we are here to talk about what makes up a team’s true identity.
