Surviving Snyder

We saw both the good and the bad of Taylor Heinicke, but only the bad from the Packers offense, and that was the difference as the Commanders squeaked out a come from behind 23-21 victory. Let’s get into it, as well as the latest franchise blunders off the field.

Dalton returns as the guys recap an unbelievable episode of Survivor. An overconfident player threw a challenge. Or did he just blow it? Regardless (and predictably) he paid the price. Meanwhile, the podcast's namesake is in the news once again, as one of Dan Snyder's fellow owners called for his ouster. Speaking of throwing, has Carson Wentz thrown his last pass in burgundy and gold? All of this, plus a preview of this week's matchup with the struggling Green Bay Packers.

This is a must-listen to episode for fans of either reality TV or the NFL as we celebrate Dallas week for the Commanders by bringing in the ultimate guest — former Cowboy, Survivor fan favorite, and Challenge champion Danny McCray. Danny starts by revealing what happened AFTER he finished The Challenge, and then shares his take on the new season of Survivor, while also taking a victory lap for helping to get rid of the dreaded Hourglass twist. Who is Danny’s pick to win Survivor 43? He’ll tell you! We also talk about the highs and lows of Danny’s NFL playing career, in which he reveals that an infamous Thanksgiving game against Washington was the beginning of the end of his playing career as a defensive starter. And you better believe Danny is ready to roast Dalton, Rick, and Brendan about their terrible team. And roast he does. And mock. And insult. The worst part about it? He’s not wrong. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show. Time codes below:

Well, that sucked. The Washington Commanders had one of their worst halves in recent memory, getting smoked 22-0 in the first half by the Detroit Lions. They showed some life late, only to be undone by a bad defense and questionable coaching decisions. So… WHAT ELSE IS NEW?!? Dalton, Rick and Brendan break it all down, for better or for worse.
