In this episode of Missing the Point, hosts Michael Marcangelo, Dave Clarke, and Bob Kelly cover one of the most emotional stories in NFL news this week: Brett Favre’s public announcement of his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis. The former Green Bay Packers quarterback disclosed the diagnosis while testifying before Congress regarding his involvement in the Mississippi welfare scandal. The hosts explore the implications of Favre’s condition, his post-career life, and the legacy of his time in the NFL.
The episode moves on to some of the most pressing questions of the 2024 NFL season. Can the Cincinnati Bengals, with Joe Burrow still recovering from a calf injury and Ja'Marr Chase struggling, salvage their 0-3 start, or are they doomed? Hosts also debate whether the Jacksonville Jaguars are officially out of the playoff race after a string of poor performances by Trevor Lawrence. The Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans are discussed as other possible cross-off teams. But perhaps the most controversial question of the episode: is Deshaun Watson’s contract with the Cleveland Browns the worst in NFL history? Should the Browns bench Watson and start Jameis Winston instead? The debate gets heated as the hosts explore how Cleveland’s front office might recover from this massive blunder.
The show shifts focus to in-depth analysis of each host’s favorite teams: the Chicago Bears, New England Patriots, and Dallas Cowboys. Caleb Williams continues to struggle in Chicago, and Drake Maye faces a lack of offensive weapons or a solid offensive line in New England. But are the Patriots truly out of playoff contention? Meanwhile, the Cowboys are holding steady as NFC contenders despite inconsistent play.
Honorable mentions include whether the Seattle Seahawks should be taken seriously after beating a Tua-less Miami Dolphins team, and how the Arizona Cardinals' spunky offense keeps them competitive. The hosts also take shots at the New York Jets, questioning whether Robert Saleh is still the right man for the job, and discuss how the Washington Commanders might have found their quarterback of the future.
The episode wraps with updated NFL Power Rankings, with teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and Philadelphia Eagles at the top. Still, rising stars like the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens are making moves. Is the NFC North wide open for the Lions to take control? And where do teams like the Houston Texans and Green Bay Packers fit into the playoff picture?
This episode is packed with everything you need to know heading into Week 5 of the NFL season. From injury updates to power rankings, cross-off teams, and breaking news, this is one episode NFL fans won’t want to miss!
