    Later, the two hosts dive into every other game from the Week 12 Sunday slate, as they give their thoughts on impressive quarterback performances from Sam Darnold, Bo Nix and Tua Tagovailoa, the Kansas City Chiefs employing the use of black magic once again, C.J. Stroud's sophomore slump, whether or not the Seattle Seahawks are the new team to beat in the NFC West and much more. Fitz & Frank wrap up with their thoughts and predictions for the Monday night Harbaugh Bowl in Los Angeles.

  • Giants release Daniel Jones, Browns win in snow & who can you REALLY trust to win the AFC?
    Nov 22 2024

    After relegating him to QB4, the New York Giants officially release Daniel Jones. Jason Fitz & Frank Schwab ask what went wrong in the ‘Daniel Jones era’ and look ahead to where he might be able to still land on his feet elsewhere in the NFL.

    The Cleveland Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-19 in the snow during Thursday Night Football. The Steelers showed they might not be the postseason contenders we imagined in this game where their offensive star George Pickens was almost nowhere to be seen. All the Browns' problems seem to lie with their quarterback, but would getting a new QB in the 2025 NFL Draft truly get them back to winning ways?

    Fitz, Frank, and Charles look ahead to next season for Aaron Rodgers. If he’s not retired or with the New York Jets, where could the veteran QB realistically go? Plus, the trio look at two other QB contracts worth keeping an eye on in the second half of the season with Brock Purdy’s new deal with the San Francisco 49ers and if the Steelers will extend Russell Wilson.

    The three then ask which teams they really, truly trust to win either the AFC or NFC. Can the Steelers be trusted to win the AFC after a loss to a Browns team with nothing to lose? And is there anyone in the NFC who can threaten the Detroit Lions?

    (0:26) Giants release Daniel Jones

    (8:21) Steelers @ Browns recap

    (33:49) Where could Rodgers go next season?

    (43:01) QB contracts worth watching: Russell Wilson

    (46:23) QB contracts worth watching: Brock Purdy

    (56:01) Who do you trust to win the AFC?

    (1:05:08) Who do you trust to win the NFC?

  • What's next for Aaron Rodgers & the Jets? Giants bench Daniel Jones, Mike Tomlin's career year
    Nov 20 2024

    Jason Fitz is joined by Jori Epstein and Frank Schwab to go behind the scenes on the latest news and storylines from around the NFL. The New York Jets fired their general manager Joe Douglas, which leads to a conversation about the future of the Jets and whether the complicated late-career saga of Aaron Rodgers is truly coming to an end after this season. In other New York quarterback news, the Giants benched QB Daniel Jones and are planning to start Tommy DeVito with Head Coach Brian Daboll's job potentially on the line. Is desperately trying to win games really in the best interest of the 2024 New York Giants?

    Later, Jori delves into her latest reporting around Chicago Bears OC Thomas Brown and the changes he's made to build around rookie QB Caleb Williams, and how Brown's focus on creating a simpler ecosystem for Williams is already showing on the field. Frank has officially launched the Mike Tomlin for Coach of the Year campaign, and he argues why Tomlin is having his best ever year leading the Pittsburgh Steelers.

    The hosts wrap up with Frank's latest controversial power rankings – as Frank attempts to defend keeping the Kansas City Chiefs above the Buffalo Bills despite the outcome of Sunday's head-to-head matchup – and predictions for Thursday night's matchup between the Steelers and the Cleveland Browns.

    (5:30) What's next for Aaron Rodgers and the Jets?

    (24:50) Giants bench Daniel Jones, will start Tommy DeVito

    (32:45) How Thomas Brown is helping Caleb Williams

    (41:45) Mike Tomlin for Coach of the Year?

    Nov 18 2024

    Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab join forces to give their instant reactions and takeaways from every single game in the Week 11 NFL Sunday slate. The dynamic duo kick things off with the biggest highlight games of the day, as they give their thoughts on the Buffalo Bills finally slaying the undefeated dragon that was the Kansas City Chiefs and how the result changes the entire AFC playoff race, the Detroit Lions embarrassing the Jacksonville Jaguars in what looked like the best team in the NFL beating up on the worst team and the Pittsburgh Steelers officially putting the league on notice that they are the team to beat in the AFC North.

    Next, Frank and Fitz move on to the rest of the Sunday slate of games and discuss the Chicago Bears falling short against Green Bay for the eleventh straight time, Anthony Richardson's huge bounce-back game, the Denver Broncos looking like a clear wild card team, the muddy mess that is the NFC West race and much more.

  • Deion Sanders CANNOT fix Cowboys & did we forget about the Eagles?
    Nov 15 2024

    The Dallas Cowboys have problems but Deion Sanders is not the answer. Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab look at what a path to fixing the Dallas Cowboys would really look like. While a Deion and Shedeur Sanders combo might not work for Dallas, are there any other NFL franchises that should consider the father + son duo?

    But first, the trio recaps the Thursday Night Football game which saw the Philadelphia Eagles come out on top of the Washington Commanders. Despite having a solid roster and 8 wins, the Eagles have slipped from the NFC title conversation. What made us forget about the Eagles up until Thursday night?

    (1:53) Commanders @ Eagles recap

    (18:19) Is overpaying RBs an issue?

    (24:17) Path to fix Dallas Cowboys

    (47:47) Is Deion + Shedeur Sanders to the same NFL team a bad idea?

    (1:00:46) Stock up on C.J. Stroud

  • Colts turn back to Anthony Richardson, getting Caleb Williams back on track & Eagles-Commanders TNF
    Nov 13 2024

    Frank Schwab and Jori Epstein join forces to break down the biggest news and storylines from around the NFL this week, including Anthony Richardson reclaiming the starting role in Indy, the Chicago Bears making a big coaching change, Micah Parsons' latest comments, Frank's updated power rankings and previewing a massive NFC East showdown on Thursday night.

    Frank and Jori kick things off with the news that Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen is placing QB Anthony Richardson back in the starting role after a disastrous couple of games for Joe Flacco. Frank and Jori discuss how we got to this decision and what a roller coaster past couple of weeks means for Richardson's future development. In other news, the Bears fired OC Shane Waldron as they try to get Caleb Williams back on track and Micah Parsons made some interesting comments about Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy when speaking with Jori on Sunday.

    Frank's latest power rankings are out, and Frank attempts to defend his more controversial placements, including moving the New York Giants to the very bottom and the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals ever closer to the top 5.

    The Thursday night matchup between the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles has game of the year potential, and Frank and Jori break down how each team can manage to come away with a win that would have huge implications for the NFC East race.

  • Ravens exploit bad Bengals defense in TNF & biggest QB surprises this season
    Nov 8 2024

    Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab break down the Baltimore Ravens 35-34 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. Joe Burrow & Ja’Maar Chase put up huge numbers, but it wasn’t enough to get past an MVP-like Lamar Jackson and a Ravens team that just might be in the best position to make it to the Super Bowl than they ever have been.

    The trio share which quarterbacks won and lost at the trade deadline earlier this week. For Jared Goff it’s a win, as the Lions grabbed a defensive piece in Za’Darius Smith from the Cleveland Browns to aid in their Super Bowl pursuit. Meanwhile Dak Prescott & Deshaun Watson are trade deadline losers as the Browns parted with Amari Cooper and the Cowboys seemingly settled for Jonathan Mingo.

    Fitz, C Rob & Frank give out some midseason QB awards such as their QB MVP, biggest surprise QB of the season (both good and bad) and the biggest QB disappointment.

    (1:35) Cincinnati @ Baltimore recap

    (26:28) Trade deadline QB winners

    (36:11) Trade deadline QB losers
