Sunday Scaries with Buccs McGee

All those rumblings about where Jonathan Taylor would go…. for nothing. 

The Colts didn’t get their asking price on the elite running back but they didn’t go out with a whimper at the deadline anyway, sending off Josh Downs to the Chiefs for two mid-round picks and shipping Keenan Allen to the Bay Area for a late pick as well. 

The Jaguars absolutely ARE BUYERS. Jacksonville already carries an elite defense across this season and they beef up their secondary by getting Jessie Bates III from the Falcons and two defensive tackles, including Jordan Davis from the Eagles as Philly continues a mini firesale. 

And of course, fresh off the heels of an abysmal showing by Carson Wentz, the Minnesota Vikings were desperate for help at QB. And oh, did they do their diligence. After thought that Kirk Cousins was off the table by the Raiders, the Vikings bring him back to purple. Think Justin Jefferson is smiling after this trade deadline?

"New Outro, Who Dis"

We weren’t expecting much from the Week 9 slate but HOLY COW are some of these games bad. 

Some teams invoked Buccs McGee’s old saying of “One Point Better” as the Broncos, Giants, and Lions gutted out some ugly wins. 

While other teams took their opponents to the woodshed like the Chiefs, 49ers, and Texans. Speaking of Houston, HOW ARE THE CHARGERS THIS BAD?!? Jim Harbaugh and Mike McDaniel’s crew falls to 0-8, Justin Herbert benched for Trey Lance, and this season continues to look more bleak by the week.

While we are on the topic of getting taken to the woodshed, what happened to the Patriots? Just when we thought Drake Maye had shaken off his rough start, he opens an interception party against the Packers to make Green Bay’s defense look considerably better than they probably are. 

And then we have the NFC South. Is it possible this division could have a champion with double digit losses?

PLUS, a hat tip sort of XTRA PTS as Kenny Walker pours in another hat trick and Ja’Marr Chase puts up a Herculean effort strictly in the half.

"New Outro, Who Dis"

You’d figure that you would know who you are heading into Week 9. 

Well, some teams are still trying to figure things out. And where Bills-Vikings on Monday Night looks like the premier matchup of the week, Minnesota seems to have found an excuse to not let the Kyler Murray experiment continue. One “sore hamstring” cedes way to Carson Wentz’s return to the lineup. And past this and a particularly tantalizing matchup for the Packers in Foxboro, there’s a whole lot of other questions at the QB position flying around. 

The Cardinals dealt Jacoby Brissett to Baltimore after seeing Gardner Minshew lead a heroic comeback against the Cowboys. Can Uncle Rico run it back as Sam Darnold’s quad gets the best of him in a battle of the backups with Drew Lock?

The Chargers sit at 0-7. Where one may think this is a layup for the Houston Texans, can we really trust C.J. Stroud and this offense? Not to mention, their still-underperforming defense. 

The Eagles are middled in poor play this year especially post Jalen Hurts’ blood clot situation and they have finally grown tired of Tanner McKee. In comes Joe Milton III and what could happen in the NFC (L)east if they pull the upset over the Giants?

Elsewhere in XTRA PTS, the Panthers are reeling and with the Bucs seemingly hot despite literally nothing of a passing game, could the NFC South be back up for grabs as they face the Bears in Primetime and the Saints welcome a suddenly exposed Browns squad to town and the Falcons seek to catch Cincinnati off guard in Madrid.

Just when we thought the Mahomes magic had one left in the tank…. NOPE. The Denver Broncos survive by the skin of their teeth yet again. And with a brutal road ahead, have the Chiefs deep-sixed their path to the division?

Lamar Jackson returned to the Ravens lineup only to exit shortly therein and soon to be joined in the training room by Snoop Huntley. Have we seen the last of #8 in Baltimore and the end of the first season of the new Jesse Minter era as well?

Undefeated no more! For the second straight week, the Lions defense awakens and behind another Herculean effort from Jamyhr Gibbs, climb back into the mix for the NFC North. 

Week 8 gave us a couple OT thrillers. Speaking of Herculean efforts, one was had by Joe Burrow lifting Cincinnati by the spirited Titans seemingly by himself. Spirited efforts by QBs were no secret in Week 8 as Gardner “Uncle Rico” Minshew replaces an ineffective Jacoby Brissett and hands the Dallas Cowboys yet another collapse. 

PLUS, an XTRA PTS shoutout to the Bucs second straight win leaving Baker Mayfield as an armless bandit and will this be the week that the Colts and Chargers CLEAN HOUSE?

How quickly the tides turn in Indy. Sitting at 2-6, Carlie Irsay-Gordon has opened the floodgates. Out go Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, Josh Downs presumably soon to come, and what will they net for all-world workhorse Jonathan Taylor? And what does the timing of these unloads speak heading into their House Horrors in Jacksonville?

The Colts aren’t the only team loading up on draft capital in the AFC South. Tennessee has shipped All-Pro Jeffrey Simmons off to Chicago for a HAUL. Will this catapult the Bears to NFC North favorites? They play the defending champs on Monday Night. 

Speaking of the NFC North, the Vikings are still riding high. Now, they face the Detroit Lions coming off a game in which their defense actually showed up to play against the Packers. Will Jahmyr Gibbs & Co. get it going against Brian Flores’ defense or are we destined to watch the struggle bus of the flip side of this matchup?

Not the only North division up for grabs as the AFC North has a battle for first on tap. And it’s between….. the Browns and Steelers. Yup, just like everyone drew it up. Is Deshaun Watson really back or will old man Rodgers still turn the clock back for another week? PLUS, the league is still on Lamar Jackson watch for his return to the lineup. Will he give it a go in their annual grudge match with Super Josh and the Bills?

The Chiefs are licking their wounds after Sunday Night. Can Patrick Mahomes rebound or will Kenny Walker meet another brick wall in the Broncos defense? And will Bo Nix be consistent enough to fill in the gap? 

PLUS, this week on XTRA PTS, we dive into our degenerate side and go over some of the biggest trap bets on this weekend’s slate.

As the Cowboys and Eagles kick off to keep pace with the New York Giants…. Wait, read that again? Yes, the Giants behind a resurgence of JJ McCarthy still maintain first place as the remainder of the NFC East seems to drift further away. And Cam Skattebo led a rushing attack that was hardly the only ground game that showed out in a big way in Week 7 after his Week 6 benching. 

Buccs McGee is prone to making predictions and look at how accurate the Seahawks and Chiefs pick became in the wake of Kenny Walker’s homecoming. He said “80 yards and a touchdown” and Seattle could withstand KC and force Patrick Mahomes to pull back on some old magic. Well, they did that and then some, including keeping him out of the endzone while Kansas City took their first L of the season. 

No Lamar Jackson seemed to not be a problem for Baltimore as they mounted a 13-0 lead against Cincinnati but Joe Burrow rallied the Bengals to a furious comeback and on the topic of comebacks, the 49ers showed some cracks in the armor as Brock Purdy got a little sloppy with the ball and allowed the Falcons to seal it in the end. 

PLUS, this week on XTRA PTS, we go over the rest of the backfield’s shining stars including a fountain of youth type performance from Tony Pollard in a loss, the Buccaneers seemingly forgetting their fans’ cries for Todd Bowles’ head and grinding Carolina into the dirt, a dual headed attack from the Rams, and a special rant from nutmeg2palmetto as the Colts continue to spiral.

Two weeks go by and the NFC East can’t buy a win. Weirdly, two of them played each other a couple games ago. With a new signal caller in New York, the Jalen Hurts situation getting uglier by the minute, and the Dallas Cowboys being… well, the Dallas Cowboys, just who is the favorite to win this division?

Normally, Packers-Lions is a matchup we look forward to seeing. But as Green Bay rides a three-game winning streak into some smoke and mirrors that they may actually still be half decent and Detroit buoyed by an all-world offense and a an absolute sieve of a defense, these two find themselves fighting every week, every minute to keep pace with the undefeated Vikings. 

PLUS, a homecoming in the PNW as Kenny Walker returns to Seattle and no one in the league is playing as well as he is. Will the Chiefs keep the winning streak going? Or will Seattle rite the ship and give K9 a rude welcome home. 

Our XTRA PTS segment this week features a fresh start of sorts in Indy, QB questions as the Bucs head to Charlotte, and the NFL takes on Paris.

Late Game drama abound this week as the Colts special teams blunders outshine the usual excellence by Jonathan Taylor and the Bucs blow a 13-3 halftime lead to old man Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers. 

Reports of Drake Maye’s demise seem to be greatly exaggerated as the Patriots QB pours in his second straight week of offensive explosions and could we see a QB change in New York following Jameis Winston’s erratic play? Would you believe it would be from former scrap parts Vikings signal caller JJ McCarthy?

And is it time to induct a new member from SoCal to the Fraudulent Penthouse?

PLUS, two defensive stalwarts show none of the sort in London, Caleb Williams returns but doesn’t have to do much with a loaded Bears backfield AND oh boy… do the Chargers STINK.

The QB Shuffle continues as Jalen Hurts battles a serious blood clotting issue that could sideline him quite a bit. In comes the untested Tanner McKee. With all the Eagles injuries, will a young QB with no tape be enough to go score for score with Bryce Young and the Panthers high-powered offense?

As Hurts hits the shelves, it may be time to dust Caleb Williams off. The Bears QB is has been practicing this week and could be closely monitored headed into their matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. With how we saw that Chicago D get roughed up last week, are Da Bears in for a long afternoon against Bijan Robinson?

We waited DAYS if not hours to find out where Marvin Harrison Jr was landing and now we get to see him in action. After all week practicing in Houston with former Oho State teammate CJ Stroud, the duo is reunited across the pond against the red hot Jaguars. 

PLUS, Seahawks-Broncos reaction in a battle of wounded teams and remember what happened the last time the Cowboys and Packers met in Primetime? Well, now the scene shifts to Lambeau. Will we see 80 points again? And more importantly, will we see a victor… or another tie?

Raise your hand if you’re tired of seeing 1 second added to the clock in 2026? 

The Eagles certainly could leave it on the sideline and where they thought they had it in the bad much like their NFC East rival Dallas a couple weeks back, the Jaguars and Cam Little’s leg had other plans. 

It may not have been the last second, but plenty of controversy on the last ditch effort by the defending champion Seattle Seahawks as we wonder where that imaginary first down plane actually ends. 

Meanwhile, the Bears in light of the passing of the legendary Mike Ditka couldn’t quite dial up enough to take down the Packers as Chicago’s rebuilt defense reared its ugly head and Bears faithful are really left wondering just when will Caleb Williams return?

Speaking of waiting for things, anyone want to put bets on just how much the Chargers are looking forward for the season to end? 0-5 and the Broncos find yet another way to grind out an ugly win. 

PLUS, an extended XTRA PTS session shouting out shootouts in the Nation’s Capitol,  early season sparkles being brought down to Earth, and one more glimmer from the old gunslinger.
