  • Love Bill, audio not so much

    Interesting and entertaining stuff. Please please change your transition sound. It sounds like you are doing a wet loud inhale. Ugh.

  • Bill Barnwell the man

    This is just another espn loser that will get the axe sooner than later. His knowledge of football is sorely lacking, and his choices for best teams/worst teams turns out wrong nearly every time. How did he get on radio to start with? Nepotism. This is show is not for me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should we believe in J.J. McCarthy? + Team furthest from the Super Bowl?
Q: Which team do you think is furthest in terms of their roster construction, in terms of their coaching staff, their draft capital, their cap situation?
Pizzuta and Barnwell choose the Tennessee Titans, pointing to organizational turnover, an unsettled direction, roster weaknesses and an offensive scheme they believe does not suit Cam Ward.
Should we believe in J.J. McCarthy? + Team furthest from the Super Bowl?
Q: Should I have my heart broken if I believe that J.J. McCarthy can be something like this guy for the rest of the season, or was this just a magical one-off?
Pizzuta urges caution, citing McCarthy's low overall and second-half success rates, the Texans' defensive struggles, and concerns about pressure and disguised coverages. He sees potential in McCarthy's throws and in a scheme that creates favorable situations, but expects performance to vary.
Is Parker Washington a Top 10 WR in the NFL? Is Kenneth Walker the MVP?
Q: Do you think he can sustain this and be an offensive player of the year candidate, if not even potentially an MVP candidate at the end of the season?
Acosta believes Walker can sustain his impact because Kansas City's offense is built around a physical run game that helps keep the offense on schedule and makes life easier for Patrick Mahomes.
Is Parker Washington a Top 10 WR in the NFL? Is Kenneth Walker the MVP?
Q: Is Parker Washington a legitimate wide receiver one, and can he keep it up?
Acosta says Washington's production is sustainable because he wins at all three levels, creates separation, makes contested catches and has become the Jaguars' trusted lead target.
Is it time for the Eagles to trade Saquon Barkley?
Q: Should NFL division winners with losing records still qualify for the postseason and host a home playoff game?
Orr supports keeping the rule, largely because the unpredictable drama can produce memorable games, while Barnwell points to the 2010 Seahawks' playoff upset as an example.
