Zach be wack, but we so back — thanks to Flac!

Napiera and C-Nell break down the Bengals’ Thursday night win over the Steelers in the Senior Bowl. Joe Flacco’s surprising composure, Jamar Chase’s dominance, and Zach Taylor’s still-questionable coaching all on the docket. But the week went well enough that we're somehow debating — should Burrow return if Flacco keeps winning?

In the rest of the league, the Colts’ resurgence under Danny Dimes, Mahomes’ playoff inevitability, and bold early MVP picks.

Then we step off the field — switching gears for some pop culture and film talk — Fantastic Four vs. Superman to Napiera’s must-watch documentary picks: My Mom, Jane in particular as a top awards-contender. Plus a bit of Halloween chat!

Ater a Monday Night Football loss among the most devastating in franchise history, Zac Taylor’s disastrous loss of the locker room, a broken offensive line, and a broken confidence QB, Napiera and Nell debate whether it’s worth firing Taylor mid-season, float names as possible stopgap QBs, and mourn the wasted potential of a favorable schedule. ("Like getting offered a great deal when you're flat broke!")

Can anything stop this season from hell?
