INSTANT REACTION: Drake Maye & the Patriots blowout Raiders

BSJ’s Greg Bedard joined John Zannis after the game to break it all down. They discuss Drake Maye’s virtually flawless performance, but Greg explains why he won’t be getting carried away after this win vs a poor Raiders defense. Is Maye officially back to his best now? They also get into how the Patriots were able to overcome their injury issues, which continue to mount as Will Campbell and TreVeyon Henderson were sidelined today. Greg then gives the defense a huge amount of credit for stopping Kirk Cousins, Brock Bowers, and Klint Kubiak’s offense. He also hits on the performances of Efton Chism, Eli Raridon, and Romeo Doubs.

Trying to listen through the postgame pod and beyond it being released later than other postgame pods (during snf after a 1pm game) and there is a very loud typing sound while greg is talking. Really distracting and should be cleaned up.
Great pod

I listen to almost every episode for Greg’s knowledge and insight. The latest pod was way too much Nick ranting and congratulating himself on being right. Greg is the star, let him shine!
