West Coast Bias

In regular 2020 fashion, no one knows what's going on?! The NFL make up COVID rules on the fly, Jared Goff confuses 49er Defensive lineman with his receivers and somehow; the Raiders lose to the Falcons. And in the MLB offseason, we take a look at the pace of play rules and how baseball could/should be changing. 

This week we unpack those Primetime NFL games from SNF and TNF. Don't you love that the West Coast is keeping the entire NFL entertained this week?! Your welcome everybody else! Warriors and Lakers are loading up, but does losing Klay take the Warriors out of the discussion? Plus, we got some serious slackers this week! Let’s go!

The Warriors are gearing up for the draft and we enjoyed revisiting our draft discussion from August. (8/24 Episode) And in the NFL West, a standings shakeup has us rethinking our predictions for the rest of the season; some more optimistic than others. Don’t talk to Tim about LaMelo Ball.

In a week of “L’s” for the NFC West, a couple AFC West Teams pulled it out. What are the takeaways from the losses in the west, and are they signs of greater issues that need to be worked out?

Do the 49ers need to look for another QB?

And with young QB’s dominating across the NFL, can the Arizona Cardinals’s Kyler Murray do damage to the Seahawks in a playoff matchup?

Rivalry week in the NFL and the NFC West's biggest rivals went at it, well one team did. The other didn't show til the 4th quarter, maybe we are "Biased." DK Metcalf continued to dominate while Russ continued his MVP Campaign. In the MLB, we had a Best Coast vs other coast World Series matchup, and the Best Coast won... 

After one of the most baffling defenses errors, the Dodgers have retaken the lead in the MLB World Series, but do they have the pitching to finish the job? In the NFL, the 49ers had a strong showing against the Belichick's Patriots. But the backfield leaves Ben, and fantasy owners pulling their hair out. More frustrations came for NFC West fans in Sunday Night Football this week, as the Cardinals were able to get past Russell Wilson's undefeated Seahawks in overtime.

The 49ers proved all the talking heads wrong by beating the Rams in Week 6 of SNF, after a not-so-great Week 5 loss. How did the 49ers make a quick turn around and what is different from last week? The 49ers have the most difficult schedule in the league ahead of them, how can they repeat the success they found this week? And in the MLB, with the World Series teams having been set, Tim will argue- he knew it all along! But what will this weird 2020, short rest, World Series look like? 

Just Win, Baby! The Las Vegas Raiders came to play this week and took it to the defending Super Bowl Champs! What does that mean for the rest of the teams on the Chiefs schedule, can they also figure out the blueprint to success? In primetime football, Russell Wilson continued his success and his MVP campaign with his late-game scoring drive, but just how good could this team be? And don't get us started about that game in the Santa Clara on Sunday.

A mixed outcome for our NFL West Coast teams comes with some questioning not only from QB's themselves, but from us as West Coast Fans. Bob takes us back to his prehistoric bias while we talk about what that means for the MLB West Coast teams that are advancing. Plus, the NBA finals are "Heating" up with Jimmy and company warning the King that he's "in trouble" but what have we learned about poking the bear?!

The West Coast has some of the best teams in baseball but how far do the guys think they make it toward the World Series. And Russell Wilson May have his best supporting cast as he auditions for the MVP, how good is Seattle? Check out this weeks edition of West Coast Bias!
