NFL Week 8: The Overreaction Monday Podcast with Rich Eisen & Chris Brockman –

Goodness gracious has so much happened since we last spoke right here on the Overreaction Monday Podcast. So much to overreact to.

Rich Eisen, along with Chris Brockman. Good to see you on this weekend, sir. What's up, brother?

Will Leviss shows up and throws for four touchdown passes. Wow. There is so much to overreact to, so it is time. Hit it. That was terrible. That was crap.

That was garbage. This place sucks. Overreaction Mondays. All right, Christopher, how many of these do you have? I got 11, baby.

11 of them. Let's do it. All right, first up, it's perfect that tomorrow is Halloween because Brock Purdy has turned back into a seventh round pumpkin. Seventh round pumpkin. Great name for a fantasy team.

Not bad. He's not a pumpkin. He's still a carriage. He's just a carriage that's hit a few potholes in the road. I know you accuse him of me of looking at him as my third son or fourth son, depending on where Baker Mayfield is behind the actual sons I have. Exactly, exactly.

And Xander and Cooper, no, sir. What he is doing is proving that he's human. He's not bot Purdy, as Kyle Brandt has said. He is human, that the guy makes mistakes, that we have not seen him make mistakes.

We have not seen him make these types of throws. He's got six turnovers in the last three games, all of them losses, in the same way that perhaps he shouldn't have gotten all of the, I guess, kudos for winning all those games. He's getting a lot of the blame that I think is equally as unwarranted. And I don't think he's the wrong guy.

When you say he's turned into a pumpkin, that he's just the same old, same old dude. And I still think that he will prove to be a perfect weapon for this offense when it is all said and done. Let's get Trent Williams back in. Let's get Deebo Samuel back in. And if they continue to lose football games, by the way, their next game is against Jacksonville at Jacksonville after both come off of a week nine by, then I'll say I'm concerned. But right now you can't sit here and say he's just a seventh round pumpkin and that he's no more than that.

I'm sorry. He's not an MVP candidate. That is correct. He's not in the top ten in the NFL. In the same way, but he was playing like one at the time and I truly thought that he would continue to perform in that vein at that level. And I was wrong.

That is correct. But to say that they can't get to where they want to go with him or they're going to fall short of their goal because of him right now is an overreaction. Remember, the floor for this guy is the Super Bowl because he replaced the guy that took him to the Super Bowl and was winning that game for three quarters.

I totally get it. So they have to basically win it with this guy to make themselves look like geniuses for getting rid of Jimmy G. They have the people in the building to do it. They have a left tackle who's going to the Hall of Fame one day when he's healthy. They have Christian McCaffrey. They have Deebo Samuel when he's healthy. They have George Kittle, Brandon Ayuk. They have Nick Bosa and a defense that is definitely having issues.

Somebody not named Bosa get home right now. It is a trough. It is a longer trough than I was expecting. It is part and parcel of Purdy's sudden mistake proneness that I didn't see coming. It's quite the plot twist.

However, this is an overreaction as a whole. With Sotik 2 for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, you could show off your skin again. And you know what that means.

The podcast is on YouTube and wherever you listen. What else do you have, Chris? Chris, you just mentioned this team. They play the 49ers in week 10. The Jaguars are going to be the AFC's one seed. Hot. Going into Pittsburgh yesterday. This is possible.

This is not out of the realm. But I'll call in an overreaction, because I still think the Chiefs are going to be right there in the mix, despite what happened on Sunday. The Chiefs are giving us all... We'll get to them later. Now, that's the problem for Jacksonville, is they've lost to Kansas City. Right. So, for them to be the one seed, they're going to have to be one game better than Kansas City. Right now, they're behind Kansas City, because Kansas City and Jacksonville have the same record. Yeah, top four teams in the AFC, all six and two.

Correct. I don't see too many hiccups. I don't see Mahomes throwing three interceptions on the road in Vegas or on the road in Los Angeles when they come and visit the Chargers. Don't see that one coming? He didn't see it yesterday coming either.

I didn't see it yesterday. I didn't see three touchdowns for Russell Wilson, three interceptions, and no touchdowns for Mahomes. So, I will just say again, Jacksonville is playing excellent football. Can they be the one seed? Absolutely. You are saying it definitively here, which makes it an overreaction.

They're definitely going to be the one seed. I can't sit here and say that. You can make an argument for it. You can make an argument for it, but that's the beautiful thing, I think, about this season.

We are halfway through. In previous seasons, I don't recall the last time halfway through a season where it was a total shrug emoji as to who was going to win the Super Bowl. You had sense of it. You had an idea of who the one or two teams are going to be the best chances to get to their respective conference championship podiums.

You could probably make a case right now for what? Six, seven, eight teams? Well, the four, six, and two teams in the AFC. The Eagles. The Eagles. The Cowboys. You could make a case for the Niners despite having lost three in a row.

I mean, through five weeks, they were undefeated. And then there's the Bengals, bro, at four and three. You cannot discount them at four and three.

They're coming. You've got the Bills at five and three, having just added Leonard Fournette today. And then invariably, there's going to be a four and one team coming out of nowhere.

There's the Lions as well. True. 10. That's 11. Right.

So I'll just call this an overreaction at the moment. Weird game in Nashville yesterday. Will Levis makes his first career start, lights it up. Heineke comes in at halftime. Ritter banged up.

Yeah. Looked good. Heineke looked good. Both the Titans and Falcons found their quarterbacks for the rest of the season.

I think that's spot on. You know how I felt like, look, you got to give Desmond Ritter a chance. He's had seven weeks. I understand he's had seven weeks. And we had just had Jared Goff on the program last week, which you can check out on our YouTube feed right here if you are watching overreaction Monday on the at Rich Eisen Show YouTube feed. Goff said you got to give somebody three years. You got to give somebody three years before you can fully evaluate whether they're a professional quarterback. And that does make sense. But these coaches don't have three years. That is correct.

That is correct. So it's really the Arthur who this is on is blank, not Smith. If you have to choose an Arthur in Atlanta who this is on, it's the owner, not the coach. Because if the owner makes the coach feel like, you know, he doesn't have the latitude or if the coach doesn't feel like he has the latitude because he's not feeling the love or what have you, then you have to look at the landscape and go, OK, we're four and four.

So are the Saints and the Bucks are three and four. This thing is open right now and the ups and the downs from Desmond Ritter and some of the red zone mistakes. We don't feel Heinecke is going to make.

And then you look at the rest of that locker room and go for the rest of this year, we're going this way. And I don't know if Arthur Smith is going to do that. He did, in fact, say today when asked, you know, if Ritter is going to be the guy when healthy, he basically said, we just need to see if Ritter is healthy, guys. That's all I'm going to go find out. We'll find out Wednesday.

So but Heinecke, you know, is the guy who can come up with Heinecke magic and hit you with the Heinecke and take the Washington commanders to places that the commanders hadn't been. You know, so if I'm Atlanta, I'm tempted to do it as for the Titans. I mean, we'll love us those four touchdown passes. You got to see more. I mean, you got to see more right now. Yeah. And they're on a short week this week. Understood.

And you got to figure out how do we get the Houston Oilers gear for us? His arms look photoshopped. They are not on our screen right here on our YouTube feed.

They are not. He is jacked up and he threw four touchdown passes, three of them to DeAndre Hopkins after he had zero. So with all due respect to Ron Tanno coming out of a walking boot, you got to see what Will Levitt says. And for Atlanta, it's a much more dicey decision that I think Arthur Smith is going to eventually just decide. I got to win a division this year and to have the latitude for future Desmond Ritter's.

I need to win a division this year. Yeah, and I can do that with my current locker room. So I agree with you. I don't think that's an overreaction right now. You mentioned Ryan Tanno here real quick. Do you think the Titans field calls on him in the next 18 hours? Maybe. I don't know. We had Daniel Jeremiah on today and he said the general sense in the league is not for Tanno.

Interesting. What else? Panthers, Texans yesterday, a matchup of the first two quarterbacks taken in the NFL draft last year. Bryce Young gets his first career win. I'm going to say the Panthers are going to finish this year with a better record than the Texans. That's a total complete overreaction to just one game. Come on, come on. I mean, the Texans have got to, the wheels have got to fall off.

I don't see how the wheels fall off. They have too many talented players. They only have a two win advantage. All the Panthers have to do is get to like five and twelve. I'm just going to call this an overreaction and tell you to move on because I'm not going to sit here and argue about two teams that could totally make us look silly. Because we don't know what's going on right there. I mean, I know this is the only time I'm really going to talk about the Panthers.

I get it. I mean, if this happens, then Bryce Young's got a chance to actually win Rookie of the Year. But I liked what I saw from Bryce Young yesterday.

I liked the moxie that they showed him winning that game. How about this? How about this, Chris? How about may I edit your copy? Sure.

And then you answer this question to me. Oh, OK. Based on the way both Young and Stroud played yesterday, OK, with the ups and downs. The Panthers got it right?

No, no. Not that the Panthers got it right. Puka Nakua is going to be Rookie of the Year.

Oh, I love that. This is more of a Rookie of the Year discussion. Correct. I think Puka- If we keep seeing inconsistent play from these two quarterbacks- I think Puka's got to be the front runner right now anyway, right? I don't know. These are quarterback driven awards always. It's true.

Yeah, Puka Nakua, who might, by the way, have Brett Rippon throwing him for a while. Geez. So, yeah.

That's the way. Is that an overreaction? That's not an overreaction.

I don't think that's an overreaction at all. Thank you. All right. What else you got over here?

All right. Speaking of the Rams, they got land basted yesterday. Yes. In Dallas. 11th straight home win for the Cowboys. Cowboys are the second best team in the NFC.

I don't think that's an overreaction at all. No. And I know they got curb stomped in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago. But they're better than the Niners right now, right? How about that?

They come to California, they get smoked by the Niners, then they sweep Los Angeles, and now we're having this conversation. Oh, yeah. And- That's the C.D. Lamb we need to see. Yeah.

That's the Dak throwing the ball yesterday. How about this for a hot take? How about this for a hot take? That you got the Eagles and the Cowboys as your two best teams in the NFC. After what we see, if the Lions perform as well as they perform, maybe the two best teams in the NFC are the Lions and the Cowboys. How's that for hotness? Well, that's super hot considering the way that Philly offense is kind of cooking right now.

I think Philly has the best player in the NFC in A.J. Brown. Okay? Yep.

On offense. Yep. The Cowboys have the best defender in the NFC in Micah Parsons. Sure.

Okay. I agree with that. The Lions may have the best team in the NFC based on how they all play together and consistently. And I know I'm saying that coming off of a beat down in Baltimore in advance of not knowing what they're going to do on Monday night. Right. But Philadelphia also has the ability to know what it takes to get where they're getting. You know? I mean, Philly looked like they were getting beat that whole game yesterday and then bam, turn it on.

That's what you can do. And how about them running with DeAndre Swift out of the brotherly show? The fake brotherly show. Now if they're going to start introducing wrinkles, now you got me at, okay, this is a real football play that is pretty damn fascinating to me every time that they'd get in position to run it. But you can make this case that the Cowboys are better than the Lions and that the Cowboys are better than the 49ers, assuming the Eagles are one.

This is not, this is a, you know, this I don't believe is an overreaction. That if Dallas plays like that and they have the guys to play like that, but they, man, do they have to beat Philadelphia one of their two times over the next month and a half and a half and then take care of business. Dallas' schedule, as I've mentioned on the show, and I'll repeat it here again, Dallas, while Philadelphia, okay, Philadelphia and Dallas play each other in week nine. Then Philly goes on a buy, at which point Dallas is home for the Giants.

They got to win that one. And then Philadelphia comes off their buy. They're at Kansas City on a Monday night as Dallas is at Carolina.

Got to win that one. And then Dallas welcomes in Washington on a Thanksgiving day while Philadelphia then goes and has Buffalo in their house on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Dallas has got to gain a game that week too. Then Dallas takes on Seattle at home the week after Thanksgiving while Philadelphia welcomes in San Francisco. And then they face each other again the following week. Dallas has Philadelphia at home on a Sunday night. And that's the tale of the tape between these two teams in this division and in this conference because it mixes Seattle in, it mixes Philadelphia in, and Dallas is punching down. And they got to win those games while Philadelphia has got serious battles on their hands with some serious opponents.

That's essentially it for the next month. Let's take a break right here and tell you about our friends at game time.

Lowest price guaranteed. The football season is underway and Believe podcasts are talking about it. When he went home and went to sleep, Michael Parsons was terrorizing him. Believe has podcasts covering all 32 professional teams and many of your favorite college teams too. And to be only producing 15 points a game.

That's something that is definitely disheartening. Sideline to sideline. End zone to end zone.

As a quarterback, I would expect him to be acting like that. Take the accountability. Put that on yourself. Don't put it on your teammates.

Search B-L-E-A-V podcasts wherever you listen. Get back to the hot taking, Christopher. Let's go.

Let's go. Second half. Saints looked great yesterday. Winning on the road. Did they really? They scored more points than the other team. Isn't that the goal? That's the goal. Alvin Kamara is back to form and the Saints are going to win the NFC South.

That's not an overreaction. Alvin Kamara is definitely back to form and Derek Carr is finding him. Derek Carr is just looking for him.

Everywhere. And he is finding him and Kamara is killing people. And yeah, we haven't even seen Jamal Williams do Jamal Williams type things there yet.

Have not. And the passing game with the receiver. Olave not really unlocked yet? Well, I mean, the guy that's been doing it is Raheed Shaheed. That's the guy who's been doing it. And he caught another big pass. And Taysom Hill. Taysom Hill, man. Dude, everybody thought he was a Sean Payton creation. Yeah, we did. Like he was the Frankenstein that Payton created.

Literally in a lab. Just like doot, doot, doot. But when I say that, it's like he's the only. Payton was the only guy that knew how to use him. Right. Or wanted to use him.

Or had the temerity to use him as significantly as they were using him. Right. And that's a nice little parting gift that Sean Payton left everybody. Dude. Two touchdowns. Again.

As the tight end. Dude, again. So, you know, and you know what I would think they should do? They should create their own brotherly shove with him. Good one. That's what they should do.

Really smart. You should create your own brotherly shove. You're not putting your own quarterback on the line in practice doing it. Taysom Hill, like shove him in the direction of the defense.

Get that play in your playbook and figure out like maybe you've maybe run it with Kamara in the same way that Philadelphia just ran it with DeAndre Swift. So, that's a way to get the offense going in short yardage situations. Don't put it on Carr's shoulder. Put it on Taysom Hill's behind.

You know? And shove him going downhill and get the defense more like Saints defense. That's the only issue is we haven't really seen them in recent, like in the last months.

They can't really stop anyone? They haven't been spinning up like their usual Saints spinning people up. So, but they can absolutely win this division. No doubt about it. And Kamara's back.

So, I don't think that's an overreaction. I'm trying to think of nicknames of St. Louis. I mean, a New Orleans style for the shove. I'm trying to think of something. What's another word for shove? What's the French word for shove?

I don't know. The Cajun something? Come up with another C? Oh, good one. Good one.

You know? Cajun crush. The Cajun crush.

That doesn't work. Something like that. Something like that.

Cram and Cajun. I don't know. Bam. Kick it up a notch. I don't know. So, what else you got? All right.

Is Del Tufo trying to change on the inside? What do you got? On the nicknames? What do you got? Something with beignets. Something with beignets. Something with beignets.

Okay. I don't know, but that's got a creamy center, right? You don't want any of that. It's all soft center. It's all dough.

It's all dough. No, no, no. It's gotta be something hard to that, but good try. Thanks for playing. We have some nice parting gifts for you.

What else? They're going to win the NFC West. They can. No, they are.

They're going to. Oh, dude. You don't believe this. You don't believe it. You don't believe it. You don't believe in Geno?

You're doing this just for the sake of it. Honestly, you don't believe it. I have Kenneth Walker in fantasy. I want to know why he only got like two touches in the second half, but no, they can.

They will. Bobo. Jake Bobo. He's scoring touchdowns out of nowhere. They are playing terrific football. Zach Sharpen a more involved added Leonard Williams on defense with a trade today. Defense is a sharpening knife. I agree with you.

Weatherspoon. I think they can win it. Jackson Smith and jig was found the end zone two games. That's right.

I know DK Jackson Smith and jigba Lockett, Strava, a walker fan. Let's go there. And do they, do they have 15 tight ends that you never heard of more tight ends than anyone in the week?

Pete Carroll's chewing gum. I know what he's doing, but I, you can't sit here and say that definitively right now. That is an overreaction to say it's better than San Francisco right now.

They do. Sure. They play each other two times in three weeks, Thanksgiving night buckle up. And then two weeks after that, and the Seahawks have to visit Dallas in between buckle up by the way.

How about that? The Seahawks and the Niners play each other, uh, Thanksgiving night. They're in San Francisco for that one. Then Seattle goes home and faces, um, hold on a minute. No, Seattle has San Francisco in Seattle that night Thanksgiving, correct. Then Thursday later they play Dallas. Then they're at San Francisco. So it goes San Francisco at Dallas, San Francisco. Meanwhile Dallas, um, then Philly after San Francisco goes at Seattle, at Philly, Seattle. So both teams play each other in a span of three weeks and also Dallas and Philadelphia in between. Oh, brutal. That's a fact.

Maybe the three best teams in the, uh, NFC, San Francisco, Dallas, San Francisco, San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia, Seattle. And both of them are on the road twice. I'm declaring my belief in Gino unreal. I don't believe you believe that. I'll just call that an overreaction at the moment. I do believe it can happen.

It's entirely possible. Right now. They're a half game in front. They're playing better than San Francisco right now. But that, that stretch, man, that stretch is where it's all about. Yeah.

Home for San Francisco at Dallas, at San Francisco, at Seattle, at Philadelphia, home for Seattle. Call it. What else?

Rich? You love this man. I love that. I'm ready to say he's my second son, Baker, AJ Brown. It's time to talk about AJ Brown as offensive player of the year. You damn straight.

This is going to be nuts. Like right now, NFL honors, Las Vegas, Nevada, where three people will be Tyree Kil, Christian McCaffrey and AJ Brown, the fact that AJ Brown right now, okay, right now can be said with a straight face and legitimately an offensive player of the year candidate while Christian McCaffrey has scored a touchdown in 17 straight games, including his 14th game of his career on Sunday in which he caught one for touchdown and ran one in, in the same game. He's one behind Marshall Falk for the all time record. Wow.

Okay. And Tyree Kil became the first player since 1961 to have a thousand receiving yards in his first eight games. And we're saying AJ Brown's a legitimate candidate to win it over the two of them because he has for the first time ever had seven straight games. Six straight games, pardon me, six straight games with 125 or more receiving yards. And he makes one physical circus catch after another one hand, two knees down or one knee down and two toes down with one hand on the ball.

It was insane. That touchdown, the first one in the left corner, you are 100% spot on. This is not an overreaction whatsoever.

And the fact that we are legitimately saying it while Tyree is doing what he's doing and the Caffrey is doing what he's doing, says everything you need to be about, say about AJ Brown. And that Titans trade looks dumber and calmer every passing week. Which is another reason why, again, we're recording this on a Monday for Tuesday's trade deadline day. Go for it.

Go for it. And I know AJ Brown was a draft day trade, not a deadline day trade. It's a move that you make. Are you serious about winning? Does any, honestly, does anybody remember right now what the Eagles gave up for AJ Brown? Nope. Do you remember what they gave up for AJ Brown? I have no idea what they gave up. Correct. No idea. What else you got over there, Chris?

Rich, I liked this one a lot. And I think you're going to like it too. There's something going on with the Chiefs, right? We can all agree with that. What is there something going on? There's something weird going on.

What's going on? They don't look like the Chiefs. That's because there's nobody taking the top of the defense off like crazy. The Chiefs offense misses Eric B enemy more than they miss Tyree kill.

Oh, that's nutty. Get out of here. Last year, Rich. Come on. Did they miss this year? No. Did they win the super bowl? They did. Did they have Eric B enemy?

They did. What is missing this year from that whole equation? Anybody that can catch the football outside of Travis Kelso.

What do you mean? Rashid Rice is a rookie. He scored three times.

Okay. They bring the Cole Hartman back. He's a guy that's familiar with the offense. Justin Watson is out there doing his thing. They have all kinds of receivers. They have the same play caller. Missing Eric B enemy. Look what Sam Howell's doing.

I get it. Did you say that two weeks ago when we were on the show last week? Did you say that? I don't remember. About Sam Howell? I don't remember. Did you have the same intensity about Sam Howell?

400 yards and four touchdowns. He's making all these guys look good. You know why? Where's Eric B enemy? He's in Washington. Do you know how he scored four touchdowns?

Do you know why Howell looked the way he looked against the Eagles? Elite hair? No. Oh. No, it could be that.

No. Well, it's a combination of things. I mean, he read the Twitter feed of Magic Johnson and he saw for Magic Johnson. It's tough to win in this league when you score seven points. That's true. I mean, we confirm that honestly, it had not struck me until I read that tweet from magic or pardon me, post what's going on with the chiefs, man, what's going on with the chiefs.

There is. I mean, when you read this tweet, he's right. This disappointing 14, seven loss from my commanders to the New York giants. It's hard to win in the NFL when you only score seven points. Well, the chief took that to heart. I know, but the chiefs always scored nine yesterday, so it's hard to win.

Very difficult. Certainly when you turn it over five times, three interceptions, two fumbles, what's going on with it. They do miss B enemy. Of course, they missed their ability to take the top of the defense off MVS. That's why you have that guy.

I don't know what to tell you, but I still think the chiefs are going to wind up in the AFC championship game. You do? I do. Of course I do. Of course I do.

Wow. I don't know who they're playing. You're just afraid to say anything bad about KC right now. I understand. Why am I? Why? I understand. Why? Because I'm calling their game?

You're still snake bitten from last year, that whole debacle. I get it. I get it. Okay.

What else you got? I'm going to see them. I'm calling their next game in Germany. Can't be more excited. They're going to be out here middle of the afternoon in Frankfurt, Germany, dolphins chiefs. Let's go. Pretty excited for you.

What else? That's going to be awesome. Yeah. Rich, the Bengals are back. They're going to be back in the AFC final four.

Oh yeah, brother. I can't say that's an overreaction. Bengals are back. I can't say that's an overreaction at all. I can't say that's an overreaction. We thought their season was over.

Look at Burrow. Screaming. Man, he was hype. Gallon. He had like a 20 yard run yesterday.

Half is fine. 21 of 23 in the first half, 49ers sitting on that loss to Minnesota, coming off of sitting on that loss to Cleveland, they are home and they get roasted by Joe Burrow in the first half. By the way, Joe Mixon was running with reckless abandon. Daniel Jeremiah said it perfectly, how Miami's got two great receivers, right? Tyreke Hill, Jalen Waddle. They have three. They have three. I'm telling you what, I don't believe it's an overreaction coming off of that game because we've seen the Bengals play like this the last two years. This is the Bengals team as they're sitting there, one and three, oh and two, one and three. They're like, let's just get Joe back healthy and we're going to be good.

And look what's happened. Joe's back healthy. They've won three in a row. Week nine Cincinnati hosting Buffalo on Sunday night football.

Let's go. And then they're home for Houston, the game against Baltimore on a Thursday night, a short week game. A game they almost won week two when Joe wasn't healthy. That's home for Pittsburgh at Jacksonville on a Monday night, some serious games, including the game at Kansas city on new year's Eve, tough schedule.

I get it. I think that's kind of crazy. Like right now you look at the final four.

Is it the four teams that are six and two maybe, and I'm, I'm saying somebody is going to lose their seat to the team that's currently four and three, but it's not just any team and it's not just any quarterback. Right? Exactly. I totally think this is not an overreaction.

It's not, I think you can make a very good case. All right. Last one.

And I would admittedly tell you that I wrote this at halftime and I had had a bunch of wine. Okay. Okay.

Great caveat. Okay. This is going to be the year. The chargers are going to win a playoff game. All right, dude.

Here's the deal. You want to know how I knew they're going to be in the final four. They're going to win a playoff game.

If they win a playoff game and the chargers are in the AFC final four. Yes. I'm saying it. Okay. And the chargers and the Bengals are in the AFC final four. Yes.

Yes. And so give me the two that are out. Chiefs are out. Chiefs are out. And who else is out? Ravens.

So it's the chargers, dolphins, Jaguars, Bengals final four. Yes. Are you still drunk? Are you still drunk? It's possible. I'm calling it right now.

You know, you know how I knew the Bengals, the chargers were serious. Yeah. Brandon Staley shaved his beard. I saw that too.

Shaved his beard. I knew it was serious. I knew it was serious.

I knew it was serious. Daniel Jeremiah about why he did it. Shaved the bears to Chicago.

All right. It's the Chicago Bears. Daniel Jeremiah dad was at the game. They should have been scared. Daniel Jeremiah said the bears are so bad that they're 10 players away from being 10 players away.

He said those words on the rich eyes and show today. So let's just pump the brakes a little bit. The chargers have a very talented team. They do have the ability to make the playoffs and then go into a spot like where where are you telling me? They're going as a seven seed you tell me they're going to So what if they're the succeed what if what if they're the fifth seed they go to Baltimore and beat the river the Baltimore Ravens Would beat the tar out of this the Los Angeles Chargers talent for talent roster on offense The starters are better.

Let me just tell you again, and this is not a horrible thing. I have seen the Baltimore Ravens in person I have seen them You were in London different in person That's I saw what they can do. I see what that defense looks like. I see it It's just because you think they're not gonna beat you outside with their wide receivers that they can get got and my answer to That is no Thank you They do Have what if major big-time ability and they're really physical haven't seen they can go into Kansas City and win Who chargers? Okay I'll just say this. Can it happen?

Of course. I'm not gonna sit here But right now coming off of the just the Bears game. That's an overreaction Might have been the wine, okay Now, I know what you're doing on Sunday nights All right. It's now time to wrap things up Chris Brockman.

What's your prediction as to what we will be? Over react about my one last week one week later. Here's what I'm gonna be overreacting to it's funny We kind of have the same one. I'm gonna say the Seahawks after this week We're gonna say the Seahawks are Super Bowl contenders because you think they're gonna beat Baltimore I think they can be Baltimore and that they will that that will be an overreaction Overreaction because you know, there'll be six and two believe in Baltimore. You keep crapping on the Ravens I don't believe in it a little bit and I don't really believe in Seattle either, but an Eric molds hatred Is there an entire bolt and I think the that's the overreaction.

Is that Oh Seahawks, man They could be a Super Bowl team when they're not quite at that level. Okay, I Understand that. Um, I switched mine. Oh you did I okay. I did last week.

I almost got it, right? You were very close last week. I said we'd be overreacting to that. The Rams season was over right and it's because Well, it's now cuz I didn't see Matthew Stafford potentially having a throwing.

Yeah No idea how long he's gonna be out, right? I mean that doesn't sound like But sounds like IR is a possibility what it sounds like to me is you know, Brett Rippon will be your starting quarterback for the Rams You know at Green Bay, yeah for sure and then there's a buy so I don't know what's coming after that But here's one. Here's my overreaction We're gonna be coming on this show Next week on overreaction Monday and one of your topics will be the bills are dead. No That they are done man, you know, it's funny I almost did something somewhere is gonna do to the bills What he did to the 49ers and that the bills are done at five and four and all I will say is I will just remind you Once upon a time the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were 500 on a Thanksgiving weekend loss to the Chiefs good one Who they wound up turning around and seeing in that Super Bowl in that stadium and beating him spanked him Okay, so I do believe good one the five and four bills coming off of a wound-licking loss to the Bengals and Joe Burr in Cincinnati That we will be coming on the air and you will be saying the bills are done Okay, that is my prediction I get for overreaction Monday next week that wraps up this edition of overreaction Monday for this week Thanks Chris great stuff as always rich and thanks to everyone out there For taking an overreaction Monday if you're watching on our YouTube stream, we appreciate that you can listen to us We're all podcasts are acquired Thanks to the cumulus podcast network helping create the Rich Eisen podcast network on which What the football Susie Schuster and Amy Trask comes your way on Tuesday with Hall of Famer and Raider great Howie long as the guest that wraps up this edition of overreaction Monday.
