This week, host Dave Clarke, Bob Kelly, and Rayshawn Buchanan dive into the latest on NFL Week 11 power rankings, spotlighting the rising contenders and struggling teams as playoff hopes hang. The episode starts with Dave’s intense “State of the Sizzle” segment, where he covers the ongoing drama with the Chicago Bears, who recently fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. With interim OC Thomas Brown stepping in, will the Bears finally find their footing, or is it time to brace for a tough season end? The hosts share their takes on the coaching shake-ups and discuss what these changes mean for Chicago’s future.
Next, they shift to cross-off teams, debating if it’s time to call it quits on the Giants, Cowboys, and Jets. Are these teams officially out of playoff contention, or could there be a chance for an unexpected comeback? The hosts assess each team’s challenges and potential for a late-season turnaround.
Dave, Bob, and Rayshawn go deep into the Week 11 power rankings in the episode's heart, focusing on the 49ers, Cardinals, and Vikings. Are the 49ers still a contender despite recent setbacks? Could the Cardinals become a surprise playoff threat? And is the Vikings’ impressive 7-2 record sustainable in the long run? As they discuss each team’s strengths and weaknesses, they also look at the upcoming Eagles-Commanders matchup, debating if Washington has what it takes to pull off an upset against a top NFC team.
Finally, they address growing player health concerns, particularly for quarterbacks, spotlighting Tua Tagovailoa’s risky season with the Dolphins and the broader mental and physical toll on players. With everything from predictions to heated debates, this episode is packed with insights on the biggest Week 11 storylines!
