Mon, 02 Dec 2024 06:19:47 -0000

Kevin Clark recaps everything from Week 13 in the NFL.

Sunday Night's 49ers - Bills game made Kevin realize that he actually loves a snow game like this. The Bills would've beaten the Niners in any region on the planet. And if anyone is going to take the MVP Award away from Josh Allen, it's Saquon Barkley.

Speaking of the Eagles, Vic Fangio is the biggest individual factor in the NFL this season after they beat the Ravens, who should very seriously consider moving on from Justin Tucker.

People continue to think there's a good team hiding in the Jets and there simply isn't - Aaron Rodgers can't throw the ball down the field. Geno Smith deserves his victory lap against the Jets.

Bryce Young's emergence over the past two weeks has been phenomenal. He and Anthony Richardson begin benched, and returning with success, is a good thing for the future of the young QB.

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 05:38:15 -0000

Kevin Clark recaps everything from Week 9 in the NFL.

What is the biggest thing that's changed about your team in the last year? For the Eagles, it starts with Saquon Barkley changing the franchise and the team not making the same mistake two years in a row. For the Jaguars, nothing changed.

For the Packers, Jordan Love is turning the ball over - something he wasn't doing in the second half of last season. For the Lions, everything has changed. You have to play perfectly to beat them and Jared Goff completes more passes than anyone.

For the Ravens, Derrick Henry continues to get chunk play after chunk play and force missed tackles.

For the Rams, they replaced Aaron Donald with young defensive players who are now coming into their own.

For the Bears, they're going to regret the lost chances they've had so far because their schedule is about to be rough.

For the Chargers, they're defensive coaching has been significantly better without any change in player personnel.

For the Commanders, literally everything has changed. And it's real.

For the Patriots, Drake Maye looks like the guy.

For the Bills, they're finding different ways to win.

For the Cowboys, Dak gets hurt. Does that make the team sellers?

Week 7 NFL Recap: What does the media get wrong about your team?

Mon, 21 Oct 2024 05:43:00 -0000

Kevin Clark recaps Week 7 in the NFL.

Sunday Night Football's matchup between the Jets and Steelers seemed like two teams going in opposite directions. The Steelers showcased why Mike Tomlin wins a lot of games - he took two quarterbacks the league didn't want and tried both out to see what works best. Aaron Rodgers, meanwhile, is not good enough to overcome the systematic failures of the New York Jets franchise.

What does the national media get wrong about your team? We asked, you answered, including whether the Chiefs are still centered around Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, whether the QB situation even matters in Pittsburgh, whether Cowboys fans are actually aware of what's going on with their team, whether the Lions defense is underrated, whether Bobby Slowik is overrated and whether Joe Schoen deserves more criticism.

Starting in London with the Jets & Vikings... Aaron Rodgers is not washed. So where does this Jets team go from here? He can't do enough to make them a legitimate AFC contender.

The Browns have way too much invested in Deshaun Watson to bench him.

The Bengals are the worst good team - they're like the weird younger brother of the Dallas Cowboys. They both draft really well but neither maximizes their roster.

Sean McDermott? Not pre-fired.

Week 4 NFL Recap: Jayden Daniels is the real deal, Aaron Rodgers and the Jets need work

Mon, 30 Sep 2024 04:13:04 -0000

Kevin Clark recaps everything that happened in Week 4 in the NFL.

Jayden Daniels is this year's C.J. Stroud. He is legitimately good. Caleb Williams is also good... but Kevin would still be sick if he was a Bears fan.

Bo Nix needs more work than we thought and so do the Jets. Aaron Rodgers didn't love Robert Saleh's postgame comments and needs to do a lot to make up for the deficiencies of the team. Jets fans deserve better.

Anthony Richardson should be blunt with Shane Steichen and advocate for his own health. The vibes in Jacksonville are awful and Trevor Lawrence has lost all his confidence. Caleb Williams won, which is a good thing because we don't want to have the Bryce Young conversation two years in a row.

Plus - what was the biggest mistake your team made this year? (Chiefs fans are no longer allowed to answer this question)

Takeaways from Steelers, Patriots & Bills Camp

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 10:40:51 -0000

Kevin Clark spent some time at Patriots camp and explains that rookie Quarterbacks like Drake Maye are not worth judging. He's also not giving up on Bryce Young yet.

The Steelers QB competition isn't going to be settled any time soon. Kevin would play both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

The Bills are intriguing because Josh Allen is so talented that his value surpasses the need to keep key pieces around him. The goal of the Bills offense this year is to be able to win in any way possible and Allen is capable of doing that.

Kevin still doesn't understand why the 49ers would trade Brandon Aiyuk.

Super Bowl Recap: What the Chiefs' win means for the rest of the league

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 06:35:17 -0000

Kevin Clark recaps the Super Bowl as the Andy Reid/Patrick Mahomes Chiefs win for the third time.

This was the most flawed Mahomes team ever and they still won the Super Bowl. Mahomes is in his MJ Era because he's shaping the careers of his opponents: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and now Kyle Shanahan. He is on track for something incredibly special.

What does this loss say about Kyle Shanahan? Possibly that he's never had the Quarterback to feel comfortable. The 49ers could have won the Super Bowl with Brock Purdy tonight but Kevin says if the Rams trade for Matthew Stafford taught us anything, it's that you have to get aggressive when the final piece is the Quarterback.

Kevin also tackles the Chiefs biggest offseason priority (re-signing Chris Jones) and answers a fan who asks if fans of other AFC teams should just give up.

NFL Championship Sunday Recap: Chiefs/Ravens, Lions/49ers

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 05:23:11 -0000

Kevin recaps a wild Championship Sunday in the NFL as we prepare for Super Bowl LVIII.

The Chiefs knocked off the Ravens in Baltimore and Kevin believes that we're at the point where nothing in the regular season matters for the Chiefs anymore. It's foolish to bet against them because even through struggles they find themselves and prove their doubters wrong. Patrick Mahomes is the Michael Jordan of his generation because he is shaping the careers of the star Quarterbacks he's playing against. The Ravens were dominated by Steve Spagnuolo, while Todd Monken seemed to be designing a Lamar Jackson masterclass instead of trying to win the game.

Kevin's main takeaway from the Lions loss: Dan Campbell can't change who he is. If you're going to change your philosophy when it gets scary you're going to lose games, and that's why he doesn't fault Campbell for going for it on fourth down.

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 05:13:07 -0000

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs were at their most vulnerable this year... but their most vulnerable is still a lot better than the majority of NFL teams.

It wasn't just Tyler Bass or Sean McDermott, it was a full team effort that cost the Bills their season. The good news for Bills fans: it's not going to take a lot to close the gap and win one of these games.

Kevin loves what's happening in Detroit right now and wonders whether Dan Campbell's success will lead to a change in the way Head Coaches are hired moving forward.

What do you do when you don't have the perfect plan? Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers are answering that question as the season comes to a close.

Why would Justin Fields be able to thrive in a different scenario? Kevin says he's the one player he would take a significant chance on.

Kevin doesn't have a problem with the Jets sticking with Robert Saleh & Joe Douglas. They should get the opportunity to rewrite the team's history with Aaron Rodgers.

What does the no-NFL clause in Jim Harbaugh's contract offer tell us about the prospect of him returning to the NFL?

The Jaguars relied too heavily on Trevor Lawrence & the rest of their roster taking a giant leap and it hasn't paid off.

We're still questioning the Cowboys identity after their second loss in a row.
