The NFC South’s chaos also takes the spotlight, with a heated debate over whether the Saints or Falcons can emerge from a wildly inconsistent division. Who has the edge in this unpredictable race, and what does it mean for their playoff chances? As always, the episode features passionate rants and debates. Dave calls out the Bears’ coaching staff for hindering Caleb Williams’ development, while Mike takes a hard look at the Patriots’ ongoing struggles and the future of current head coach Jerod Mayo and where the future of Bill Belichick might lie in the NFL if he chooses to return. The duo wraps up with bold playoff predictions, analyzing whether teams like the Dolphins, Rams, and even the Cardinals have what it takes to make a deep postseason run.
