NFL Week 16: The Overreaction Monday Podcast with Rich Eisen & Chris Brockman - Dec. 23, 2024

[@snoworicehockey]

I think Darnold’s poise in Seattle on the game winning drive was MVP caliber. KOC’s headset went out and Sam calmly called a QB run play to the sidelines by KOC for 9 yards, then got the play call from Kevin on the sidelines before he ran back to the huddle. Then throws the dagger to Jefferson stepping up in the pocket, knowing he’s going to get blasted by two defenders.

Here’s a prediction. A 14 win team from the NFC North is going to go on the road in the wild card round and there are going to be talks this offseason to have divisions only guarantee a playoff spot, not a home playoff game.

17:10 in a three way tie scenario where Denver, colts and either Miami or bengals finish 9-8, colts get the 7 seed because conference record is the initial tiebreak. Then, Miami and Indy’s 7-5 conference record gets tie broken because Indy beat Miami head to head. Very interesting scenario but they have a chance

[@dl_0002]

Goff is the best QB this year, at least statistically. He's 2nd in yards (behind Burrow), 2nd in Completion % (behind Tua), 2nd in QB Rating (behind Lamar), and is 3rd of 4th in passing TDs. No other QB is at the top of all those categories. Josh Allen is not even near the top in any of them. PLUS, the Lions are currently top in the NFC. Idk how he is not a front-runner.

[@cmd31220]

I'm definitely resigned to the Chiefs being in the super bowl again. The league is doing everything they can to rig the 3-peat, and on top of that Kansas City has summoned the most powerful devil magic I've ever seen. It's honestly embarrassing just how many breaks the Chiefs have gotten this year and how many calls, mistakes, and bounces just happen to go their way

I think Saquon out right lost the most valuable player when the Eagles lost to a lesser than Commanders after losing Hurts early on, unfortunately

[@Central-se7ez]

He also dropped an easy critical pass in a previous game that is forever stuck in my mind. I think Kupp was more valuable in his superbowl win season but he wasn't even close to getting the same MVP consideration. Brother did everything perfect

[@bulldawgslays3724]

[@Tredsboys]

If the Seahawks win against the bears, and the Rams win against the cardinals, and then the Seahawks beat the Rams in week 18, we will go 5 levels deep into playoff tie breakers. Both will have 10-7 records Both will be 1-1 head to head Both will be 4-2 in division Both will be 4-4 in common games (common games exclude H2H and division matchups) Both will be 6-6 in Conference (includes H2H and division matchups) Then it will come down to strength of victory, which won’t be fully played out until the end of week 18. The last time this happened was 2006 with the packers and giants. The new playoff tiebreakers were installed in 2002.

[@martinolson761]

[@Central-se7ez]

Think the Saquon hype needs to take a step back. Very good running back. Not an nfl MVP

[@BeepasGarage]

Idk see how Lamar is not the clear front runner for MVP. He is either first or top 5 in all passing categories, and obliterates all other QBs in rushing categories besides rushing TDs.

[@Jerid58]

Brockman finally following suit on the Chiefs. It’s ok bud we will let you on the train, but Rex Ryan can’t. It’s already left the station for him.

[@kenbattor6350]

Mahomes' arm was moving forward. It wasn't a fumble.

[@varunb2593]

The Texans didn’t play well enough but let’s not forget that this time the refs openly gave it to the Chiefs. That fumble return TD on a non existent penalty, and other penalties where even the commentators were flabbergasted, it was shameful ..

[@unknownmlg4041]

15:00 please stop rich… Philly special was the greatest play fake. It was cool but the lions are starting to turn into the chiefs with the “look at me” kind of plays… constantly making decker report as eligible, giving the ball to lineman (I forget how to spell his name)… onside kick with almost a whole quarter left…

[@DustinHaning]

[@sumdude4281]

The Jets are awesome and it's because of Aaron Rodgers! That's my overreaction for the week.

[@richardbuchko4910]

At this point, you change your "best team in the NFL" every week based on the results last week -- The Lions were the best and then they lost to a really good team, and so they weren't; The Eagles were the best until the lost to the Commanders and then they weren't; The Vikings are now after almost losing to a .500 team? If they lose to the Packers - then who is the new #1 - whoever had the best style points this week? Their game was better than the Lions? Don't forget who beat those Vikings. It's an overreaction because they have yet to beat the team in Detroit. The Lions lost to a very good AFC team, and even in that loss they showed they are still best in NFC, and over the course of the season, best in NFL. I can support that without even needing to pretend to fumble the ball!

10:45 couldn't agree more. Both QB's is outplaying Allen but he's for some reason the frontrunner SMH!

[@kpwillson]

It's just like last year when Lamar won it when he didn't deserve it

[@ianfitchett2768]

​​​@@kpwillsonLamar won it last year because of strength of schedule. Allen doesn't have that argument this year. Outside of the chiefs and lions, he's mostly beat up on bad teams. The Chiefs and Lions games are just overtaking people's recency bias. The Ravens have played literally more than half of their games (8 of 15) so far against teams currently holding playoff spots, and they lead in the NFL in point differential against those teams. Oh and one of those teams was the bills who got slaughtered.

[@jtfike]

College people overcomplicate things. Reduce regular season to be conference only games + 2 non conference so Notre Dame can get their games in. Shorten the season. Have conference championships and then do a 32 team playoff. Settle it on the field, not on paper.

[@EdByrns]

The NFL IS COMPLETELY RIGGED IF LAMAR WINS AGAIN STOP IT HE IS WHAT 4TH IN THE AFC OR WORSE

[@philblack3756]

Has anyone else noticed how the vast majority of Media are proactively making positive arguments for ALL of the potential MVP candidates EXCEPT Lamar? When the topic comes up, they either say- “It’s Allen” outright or (as they are doing here) start making arguments for everyone OTHER than Lamar? I am yet to hear a major media person actually make a definitive argument (of which there is one) for Lamar to win again.

[@thoughtfulbobcat1872]

It could be that the addition of Henry has taken some pressure off of Lamar and his stats are not as impressive as last season when he won. Allen has lost talent in Diggs and is still putting up numbers. I don't think Allen is the frontrunner I think Barkley has had a great season and has had a huge impact on the Eagles.

[@philblack3756]

@ Three things about the addition of Henry argument (while I agree has helped)- 1) That argument goes both ways. Henry is rushing for more than 1yd per carry above any single year prior to coming to Baltimore. 2) While he may not have done as well passing, Lamar has performed at an MVP level multiple years PRIOR to Henry getting there. 3) The entire line of argumentation is revisionist history because- before the season the media said Henry would not move the needle for the Ravens because of his age and the fact that the Ravens lead the league in rushing every year and it has not helped them get to a title. It is only now that they are changing it. Lastly, let’s not forget- (1) The Ravens lost their D-Coordinator, (2) multiple starters from their defense, including their leader in INTs (Stone), Leader in sacks (Cowney) and 2nd tackler (Queen) and (3) They have 3 new starters on the Offensive line.

[@SonofStormblessed]

I don’t care if Josh gets the MVP this year. But the whole MVP conversation is completely exposing people for the frauds they are. The same people calling for Lamar this year, are the same last year. Which is beyond hypocritical. His numbers were some of the worst ever by an MVP last year, yet he got to win it anyways. Doesn’t matter there were at least 5 QBs who were statistically well past him, in every category there is, except maybe rushing yards. But now because for the FIRST time in his career he has the kind of passing numbers other QBs put up every year he’s supposed to be handed the MVP again. So why’d he get it last year. No the reality is the Lamar Stan’s want the rules changed every year to be whatever it takes for Lamar to get the MVP. Last year it was that he was the best player on, the best team. Now it’s a completely different set of rules for who gets the MVP. Which is why ultimately the MVP is a useless, meaningless award. The criteria changes every year to make it Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, or Aaron Rodgers years ago.

[@luciusETRUR]

Id like to see it be 24 teams like FCS. Sure you get blowouts but it involves the entire sport and you give 8 best teams bye weeks. FCS playoffs are so lit, not sure why FBS is scared of it.

[@jaredpribyl]

Josh Allen way more impressive with less weapons than Goff. If Goff is in the running, then so is Darnold bc they have the same amount of tds and interceptions. And Goff has a run game that he leans on, making his job way easier

The 12 team playoff has been perfect so far. We've seen clunkers on a 4 team. We've seen clunkers when there wasn't a playoff and there was just bowls. To say that a couple clunkers this year means we shouldn't have done it is MASSIVELY SILLY. Also, wouldn't then you have to admit that if all the lower seeds had won that MORE THAN 12 should be happening? And that argument would be even more silly.

The NFL is desperate for a Taylor Swift Super Bowl. Last year's Super Bowl was the most viewed Sports show in history and that includes the finals of the World Cup in soccer. They weren't prepared for it last year with the rates. They are this year and it will mean hundreds of millions of dollars for the NFL to have Taylor Swift at that Super Bowl. And we all know that this is Kelsey's last year. The NFL is going to do whatever they can to make sure Kansas City makes it and right now we're seeing some terrible calls going against other teams. You cannot deny this. Even an assistant coach calling a timeout which you're not allowed to do. They got away with. Any other assistant coach would have not gotten away with it
