Vibe Check for Every NFL Team After Week 4

Usually by Week 4 of the NFL season, each team’s play gives us a solid indicator for how their season will go moving forward. Here I read the tealeaves from each team’s performance in Week 4 analyzing the vibes you can expect moving forward from your favorite team.

Lions @ Packers (TNF)

These aren’t your daddies Detroit Lions. These Lions are built to win. Dan Campbell’s blue collar philosophy that encourages biting some kneecaps has Detroit built to compete on the defensive end, and to wear defenses out physically on the offensive end. Their running duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs are physical hard runners that will bully people. They have good pass catchers featuring star Amon Ra St. Brown, the talented Jameson Williams, and blossoming rookie Sam LaPorta that are used creatively to create space. The Lions have continued the hot play they ignited at the end of last year and punched the Green Bay Packers in the mouth in Lambeau Field, signaling a passing of the torch for ownership of the NFC North. This is the Lions division to lose, and I don’t see Dan Campbell letting anyone take that from his clutches.

Vibes: Take the bags off of your heads Lions fans, instead grab body bags for your divisional opponents.

It’s safe to say the Packers miss Aaron Rodgers. Jordan Love struggled mightily in the first half, throwing an interception and only scoring three points. As the game progressed, the Packers had chances to get back into the game, but the Lions wouldn’t let them get close enough. They bled clock, and intercepted Love for the second time to keep the game out of reach. Love has some talent, but he is too inconsistent and disappears at bad times. Those donning cheeseheads haven’t had to consume anything other than excellent quarterbacking since the early 90’s, but that ends now. Love will have growing pains that doesn’t guarantee his long term success in the NFL. Green Bay isn’t the coolest kid in school anymore, Detroit is. The Packers will be lucky to make the playoffs, which is their ceiling.

Vibes: The kid you bullied in high school got jacked and is looking to give you payback.

Falcons @ Jaguars in London

The Jacksonville Jaguars, who played a semi home game at Wembly Stadium for their record ninth game in London, took care of business by bouncing back from a disappointing loss to the Texans. With the entire AFC South tied at 2-2, the Jaguars showed why they are going to repeat as division champs: They have Trevor Lawrence and the others do not. Jacksonville boasts the best Quarterback in a less than stellar division, with feisty rebuilding teams in Indianapolis and Houston, while Derrick Henry and the Titans will fight likely for 2nd place.

Vibes: The Jaguars should win their division, but they aren’t competing for the Super Bowl yet.

The Falcons provided one of the greatest NFL in game highlights of all time via the Toy Story broadcast when Bijan Robinson broke a Jaguars defender’s ankles that looked utterly ridiculous but hilarious at the same time. That’s where the fun ends. Despite having a slew of talented offensive weapons in the passing game, they struggle to get them involved. Kyle Pitts was drafted fourth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft but is being used less than Jonnu Smith! Whoever has Pitts on their fantasy team needs to be talked off a ledge, because the passing game is as flavorless as London cuisine with Desmond Ridder at quarterback. He is incapable of getting the talented tight end the ball. Atlanta’s options moving forward for the Falcons to win a very winnable NFC South is 1) start Taylor Heinicke and hope he is the same guy that nearly beat Tom Brady’s champion Buccaneers, 2) enter the Kirk Cousins sweepstakes, 3) or trade Pitts somewhere he can be utilized for picks to be used on a quarterback and whoever is TE1 at Iowa.

Vibes: Urgently hiring QB position on Indeed.

Dolphins @ Bills

Guess who’s back? Back again? Shady’s back, tell a friend. The Bills reminded doubters who were criticizing them after their loss to the New York Jets in Week 1 that they are still the top dog in the AFC East and a viable Super Bowl contender. The Bills delivered on all the hype before this game. Josh Allen was on fire commanding the offense to score on five of six drives in the first half including touchdowns on their first three. In the second half, Allen and the offense kept cooking, while the Bills defense shut out the explosive Dolphins offense. Allen launched himself into the early MVP discussion after efficiently completing 21/25 passes for 320 yards, four passing touchdowns (three of which to Stefon Diggs), and a rushing touchdown.

Vibes: Bills Mafia is ready to run through a wall and a few tables, because Buffalo is coming for that playoff bye.

After pounding the dignity out of Bronco’s head coach Sean Payton last week with a historic 70-20 bludgeoning, the NFL world offered deserving praise for Mike McDaniel’s creative offense. The Dolphins started strong, as they also scored touchdowns on their first three drives. Defense became the biggest factor of this game as the Bills made adjustments in the second half, and the Dolphins did not. Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio has a reputation for being one fo the best defensive minds in the game, but he may not have all the horses he needs to have a top unit like he did in San Francisco and Chicago. Miami still has an offensive powerhouse with Tua playing his best and Tyreek Hill having the speed to score on any given play. Their run game has also started strong as Raheem Mostert and rising star De’Von Achane have lit up opposing rush attacks, all while Jaylen Waddle has yet to score this season. The Dolphins are definitely a playoff team, but they may not have the defense to go all the way.

Vibes: Miami has a great offense, but a not so great defense that will prevent them from winning the Lombardi trophy this year.

Bronco’s @ Bears

The Broncos avoided rock bottom in franchises history by engineering a 28-7 comeback in the second half. Payton caused a stir in the preseason when he publicly dissed Denver’s previous head coach Nathanial Hackett by saying “It might have been one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. That’s how bad it was.” Payton and the Broncos have been disappointing, going into this game 0-3 by losing a one point contest to division rival Las Vegas Raiders, blowing a double digit lead to the Washington Commanders, and getting destroyed by the Dolphins 70-20. Luckily for the Bronco’s, they played the worst team in football in Week 4. They won, but it took a huge comeback late that was a rock fight the entire from beginning to end. Denver’s most pathetic era in team history will likely continue when they miss the playoffs again this year.

Vibes: Rock bottom.

The Bears came into this game as three point home underdogs to a team that lost 70-20 the week prior. That’s how bad they’ve been the first three weeks. The Bears showed some positives by taking a 28-7 lead late into the third quarter lead by quarterback Justin Fields’ best performance of the season, but they ultimately choked the game away with a lost fumble recovered for a touchdown and a game sealing interception. Nothing has gone the Bears way this year. They already fired their defensive coordinator for reasons some are speculating to be criminal, they had more than $100,000 of equipment stolen from their facility, and told receiver Chase Claypool to stay home for both this game and the next. Bears fans quite literally have had nothing to be happy about this season. Grab a beer and bear down Chicago, it’s going to be a long season.

Vibes: Rock bottom.

Ravens @ Browns

The Ravens early on look like the favorites to win what was supposed to be a gauntlet in the AFC North. Lamar Jackson played well again rushing and throwing for two touchdowns each surprisingly for the first time in his career. Jackson threw a solid 15-19 for 186 yards, and Mark Andrews had his best game of the season so far with five receptions, 80 yards and two touchdowns. Baltimore was expected to win against a Browns team that started their backup quarterback, but should be applauded for handling a tough divisional defense.

Vibes: AFC North favorite and potential Super Bowl contender if they can smoothen out the flow of their offense.

Cleveland had a rough game only managing to score three points. Already without Nick Chubb due to his season ending injury against the Steelers in Week 2, backup quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson struggled start to finish. He threw for 121 yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions posting an abysmal QBR of 18.7. It only gets tougher for Cleveland as they play the San Francisco 49ers after their bye next week. Deshaun Watson’s play hasn’t lived up to his guaranteed $230 million contract yet, and fans are becoming impatient. It seems unlikely they can move off from him and get someone like Kirk Cousins. If the Browns can’t get more production from the quarterback position, especially with their best player out for the season, the Browns will waste a championship level defense and miss the postseason.

Vibes: Print Deshaun Watson’s picture on milk cartons.

Steelers @ Texans

Head coach DeMeco Ryans has revitalized a bottom dweller in the NFL. No one had any expectations for a Houston team who lost 12+ games the last three years, yet here they are at 2-2 tied with the rest of the AFC South. Are the Texans going to make the playoffs? No. But are they on the right track? Absolutely. After leading San Francisco’s top defense the last two years, his defense in Houston has already improved mightily. They look competitive, hungry, and don’t stop fighting. They built on an impressive showing last week when they beat division favorite Jacksonville 37-17 in Duval County. Quarterback C.J. Stroud looks like the best quarterback in his draft class, which includes Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson. Stroud throws the ball with confidence and shows signs that he can process the game quickly. He had an impressive performance putting up 30 points against a good Pittsburgh defense by throwing 306 yards with two touchdowns. The pairing of Stroud and Nico Collins has been electric, offering real excitement for the future of the Texans offense. It looks like the light is at the end of the tunnel for their rebuild.

Vibes: Franchise quarterback: check. WR1: check. Good head coach: check.

The “Fire Matt Canada” crowd is loud right now, and they should be. A team that many picked as a break out candidate t0 take the next step has looked lackluster, and the offense is to blame. The Pittsburgh Steelers got smacked against the rebuilding Texans in a game that was never competitive. Both of the Steelers wins were by one possession and offense has struggled mightily. The play calling on offense has been unimaginative and predictable limiting the production of skilled players like George Pickens and Najee Harris. Quarterback Kenny Pickett had an atrocious 18.8 QBR before he got injured and left the game. Scoring six total points, the blame should be on Canada and not Pickett. Pittsburgh needs to find solutions fast, or their preseason projections predicting they make the playoffs can be 86ed.

Vibes: “Blame Canada” if the Steelers stink.

Vikings @ Panthers

Yikes. The other game between winless teams featured an ugly game from both teams. The Vikings, who won the NFC North last year have looked awful. Kirk Cousins opened the scoring by throwing a 99 yard pick six, and threw another pick later in the game. Justin Jefferson continues to be the lone bright spot for Minnesota with another strong game scoring two touchdowns and extending his league leading receiving yard total to 543. The Vikings don’t look like they can compete for their division let alone for a wildcard. They turn the ball over too much and don’t play defense. It was a struggle in Week 4 to beat on of the worst three teams in the NFL by one possession. Trading Cousins and tanking for Caleb Williams may be Minnesota’s last chance to keep Jefferson, bucking a the Vikings trend of drafting a generational wide receiver and losing him to free agency because the team is terrible.

Vibes: The Vikings are going to have to try and save their marriage with a baby, because that totally never ends poorly.

For the Panthers, there really isn’t much to say. They are one of the worst teams in football and this whole season is all about Bryce Young getting reps so he can learn to be an NFL quarterback. He looks like a deer in the headlights at times, but also flashes talent. A successful season in Carolina is to develop Young. I would say consider tanking for Caleb Williams or Drake Maye, but they don’t have a first round pick. The Bears took ownership of that pick when Carolina traded up with Chicago to take Bryce Young 1st overall. The Panthers are stuck with him, so they better hope he pans out. Carolina is firmly in the middle of a significant rebuild.

Vibes: Keep Pounding… your head into the wall when Bryce Young makes mistakes. All your eggs are in that basket, so hope he grows into 1st overall talent.

Rams @ Colts

Fuck them picks. That’s what the Rams tried to sell their lackluster fanbase when they went all in to win Super Bowl LVI. Now, the Rams have a thin roster whose record will depend entirely on their stars performing. If the stars play poorly, they will likely lose. Against the Colts, their stars played just good enough with a win in overtime after blowing a 23-0 lead. Aaron Donald was a menace in the backfield per usual, Matt Stafford made throws when he had to, and Kyren Williams had a great day scoring twice and rushing for over 100 yards. The biggest story of this game comes from the darling of the season thus far, Puka Nacua. He continues to dominate in Cooper Kupp’s absence leading the NFL with 39 receptions and is second only to Justin Jefferson in receiving yards with 501. The cherry on top was Nacua’s walk off touchdown in overtime. He is a star in the making. Sean McVay is hoping that Kupp’s return paired with Nacua, Williams and Stafford will be enough offensively while Aaron Donald plays hero on the defensive side of the ball.

Vibes: Make some noise Rams fans, all 12 of you, because you can make the playoffs.

Rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson helped the Colts erase a 23-0 deficit to force overtime where they ultimately fell just short. Richardson showed off his dual threat talent by throwing for 200 yards with two touchdowns and rushing for 56 yards with one touchdown. His 98.8 QBR showed Colts fans some hope for their future as they have a dynamic playmaker at quarterback who is a captivating watch. Probably no playoffs this year, but Indianapolis is on the right track.

Vibes: The embarrassing streak of a different starting quarterback at the beginning of every year since Andrew Luck retired is likely going to end.

Buccaneers @ Saints

Who had the Buccaneers at 3-1 and in 1st place before the season? Baker Mayfield has performed in what many consider his last shot to be a starter. He had a great 116.9 QBR as he threw for three touchdowns in a 26-9 win in New Orleans. Mayfield has shown a competitiveness and willingness to fight for yards that seems to have won over his teammates in the early stages of this NFL season. Mike Evans has three touchdowns in four games as Mayfield’s top target showing he’s still a top receiver in the NFL. The defense has been solid thus far, giving up no more than 17 points in any game. The Buccaneers look to win a weak NFC South division and make the playoffs a year after Tom Brady called it quits.

Vibes: Playoffs (probably).

Derek Carr was a surprise start this week after injuring his shoulder late against the Packers last week. The passing game a struggle and makes you think maybe they should have rested the veteran quarterback. Star receiver Chris Olave only had one reception for four yards. The Saints offense has looked stagnant in the early going, but Alvin Kamara had 84 yards from scrimmage in his first game since being suspended for an incident in Las Vegas during the Pro Bowl last year. The Saints defense is a talented group that is being asked to do too much, so the fate of this team really depends on if Carr, or maybe Jameis Winston, can provide consistent production moving forward. There are questions at quarterback, but Kamara should be a huge boost to your chances to win a division that is there for the taking. Dark horse in Kirk Cousins sweepstakes.

Vibes: The Saints will go marching to Cancun if they don’t get better quarterback play.

Commanders @ Eagles

In the second overtime game in the early slate, the defending NFC champions were taken to task by their scrappy division rivals who ended their undefeated season last year. Some have criticized the Eagles for not looking as sharp in the passing game as they did last year, to which Jalen Hurts responded by posting a 98.6 QBR while throwing a beautiful touchdown to AJ Brown late to take the lead. While Washington tied in the final seconds of regulation, Hurts drove the Eagles down field to kick the winning field goal, remaining undefeated with only the San Francisco 49ers. Eagles fans shouldn’t worry about their passing game until they lose because of it. They have one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, highlighted by excellent line play on both sides of the ball. Just hope that the Super Bowl hangover trope doesn’t apply to the birds.

Vibes: Grease the poles. Either because of a championship or because their response to getting eliminated is to riot.

The biggest criticism, and really only criticism, I have for the Commanders after an impressively gutsy performance in Philadelphia was Ron Rivera opting to send the game to overtime instead of going for the win. As the road team, scoring a touchdown as time expires to force the decision of kicking to send it to overtime and going for two to win the game right there was an easy choice that Rivera did not make. The Eagles who are at home are a vastly superior team than the Commanders, who are a good team. The Eagles are just elite, compared to just good for Washington. The momentum was on the Commander’s side, but “Riverboat Ron,” Rivera played it pretty safe by kicking and ended up losing in overtime. Sam Howell looks like he has promise. I think last week’s demolishing against the Bills was an outlier. Howell looked composed and made good throws all game. Washington may have a good quarterback on their hands. They are scrappy and maybe make the post season, likely depending on their in division record.

Vibes: The demon of Dan Snyder has been exercised. The Commanders have taken a step forward in becoming a functional franchise and football team that is no longer the laughing stock.

Bengals @ Titans

Well, well. There was a lot of talk about how Derrick Henry’s decline, that the Titans are mess. When you come at the king, you best not miss. Henry had a game that we’ve come to expect from one of the best running backs of this generation. He ran for 122 yards and a touchdown, adding a passing touchdown which has now become an annual occurrence for Vrabel’s Titans. Are the Titans limited because of their quarterback? Yes. They have been for a few years now. But with Vrabel at the helm with his usual awesome defense, Tennessee won’t go down quietly. They will compete for the division with really only the Jaguars standing in the way while the Texans and Colts are rebuilding. This division may come down to the head to head matchups between the Jags and Titans.

Vibes: So you’re telling me there’s a chance. Yes, but only if Henry and the defense can perform like it has in years past, or if they upgrade at quarterback.

The skyline chili is falling. The Cincinnati Bengals are looking like they are going to waste this season. After losing to Tennessee 27-3, they fall to 1-3 and sit in last place in the AFC North. Burrow looks hurt, Tee Higgins is hurt, and Ja’Marr Chase is popping off that he is “Always fucking open.” Their offense has three touchdowns through four games which is good for dead last in the NFL. Dead last. Joe Burrow being injured and not having any reps in training camp is looking like it will torpedo their season. They look awful, unable to get anything going on offense. Joe Burrow is by no means a bad quarterback, but he is rusty and injured. He looks weaker than we are accustomed to seeing him, and his accuracy has declined significantly. It will be a tall task to make the playoffs. Their path to the post season is to sweep the first place Ravens. And that’s only the start.

Vibes: Who Dey? Really, who is this team and what happened to the tough bunch that went to consecutive AFC Championship games?

Raiders @ Chargers

Brandon Staley is on borrowed time. I thought he was going to get fired after last season when the Chargers blew a 27-0 lead in the AFC Wildcard round. Hell, he should have been fired after Week 18 of the 2021-22 season. Remember the crazy tie playoff scenario between the Raiders and Chargers where if they tied, they’d both go to the playoffs? Remember how in overtime, the Raiders were choosing to run out the clock to clinch the playoffs for both teams, but Staley called timeout trying to mess with the Raiders, so they changed their minds and kicked a field goal to eliminate the Chargers from playoff contention? Back to this season. Last week against the Vikings, Staley was panned on Twitter for failing to convert a 4th and 1 attempt on their own 24 yard line in the final minute giving the Vikings a chance to win with less than two minutes to play. The Chargers got lucky and intercepted Kirk Cousins to ice the game. His response: “I make no apologies for that.” This week, the Chargers did the same exact thing. Up 24-17 Staley went for it on 4th and 1 on their own 19 yard line and failed, giving the Raiders a shot to tie the game late. Once again, an interception near the goal line saved the game and his job. He has made several fireable decisions that have ended the Chargers season twice already and clearly hasn’t learned from it. If you are the Chargers, you need to fire him and you should have done it last off season. It’s not a matter of if at this point, it’s when.

Vibes: Stockholm syndrome. He has kept the Chargers ownership hostage and now they like him.

Josh McDaniels is bad, the quarterback play is bad, the defense is bad, Davonte Adams is fed up. There isn’t much to say about the Raiders other than they will be one of the worst teams in the NFL again this year. The Raiders are probably going to blow up their team starting another long and painful rebuild. The Raiders are going to spend more time in the cellar than Harry Potter did at the Dursley household. I know it’s technically a cupboard, but you get what I’m putting down.

Vibes: Forecast: a dark hole swallowing everything that comes in its desert habitat, for the next several years at least.

Patriots @ Cowboys

An absolute stinker in the late slate. The Cowboys defense is awesome, a top unit in the NFL with two more defensive touchdowns. They didn’t need their offense to show up to the game. It was a nice get right game after dropping a disappointing loss to the Arizona Cardinals last week. Their opponent next week will be early contender for game of the year as they visit the San Francisco 49ers for Sunday Night Football in a potential playoff matchup. There are questions about the offense’s red zone efficiency which will be put to the test against the 49ers talented top five defense. Getting the playoff bye is a priority for this Cowboys team who has tough competition waiting for them in Philadelphia and San Francisco.

Vibes: It’s the Cowboy’s year, because every year belongs to Dallas.

Bill Belichick’s worst loss in his entire head coaching career. Not even when he was with the Browns did he lose a game by 35 points. Mac Jones has shown enough that he isn’t a starter in the NFL, and the Patriots have likely entered the Caleb Williams sweepstakes. Three points for the Patriots. Mac was benched. Honestly Mac Jones is too cool of a name for a quarterback who produces so little. He’s just McCorkle now. No more Mac. New England has fallen back to Earth HARD post Tom Brady.

Vibes: The new Patriots way is New England fans re-learning how painful it is to root for a pathetic football team, and with no sympathy to boot.

Cardinals @ 49ers

The 49ers scored 30+ points for the fourth straight week. It’s the first time the 49ers have ever done that to open a season. Bill Walsh, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jerry Rice. None of them ever did what this team just did. Speaking of Rice, Christian McCaffrey broke Rice’s franchise record for most consecutive games with a touchdown in 13 straight. McCaffrey then scored three more touchdowns while compiling 177 scrimmage yards making him the highest scoring fantasy football player this week and positioning himself to potentially be the first non quarterback to win MVP since Adrian Peterson in 2012. The 49ers are a juggernaut and one of the few teams in the elite tier, joining Philadelphia as the only other undefeated team. Shanahan has finally found a quarterback in Brock Purdy that he can trust to run his offense perfectly with the embarrassment of riches at the skill positions around him. They are one of the most fun teams to watch, hands down and are one of the few Super Bowl or bust teams.

Vibes: Praying every week this team stays healthy so McCaffrey can campaign for MVP, and the 49ers faithful can party like it’s 1995.

Arizona was predicted by many to be one of the lottery teams going into the next draft and they’ve responded by playing hard, spirited football. Josh Dobbs looks good, legitimately good, to the point where they may keep him over Kyler Murray. They lost this week, but they are competitive and earned an impressive win against the Dallas last week. The Cardinals will not have a lottery pick this year as their rebuild may be sped up with Jonathan Gannon being a good coaching hire. Maybe Kyler Murray will be wearing Jets green in the near future.

Vibes: Better than anyone expected.

Chiefs @ Jets (SNF)

The Chiefs look mortal. They don’t look like the unstoppable force like in years past. Their offensive weapons are much less explosive and reliable than the ones they had just last season, with the exception of Travis Kelce. Mahomes is making more mistakes, and the Jets may have discovered that he struggles with stunts. On several plays Mahomes looked uncomfortable against stunts and threw multiple interceptions. The Jets defense did everything they could, but the Chiefs found a way to win ugly using their championship DNA.

Vibes: Chiefs can definitely win a Super Bowl again because of number 15, but it looks like Mahomes may finally play a road playoff game.

Here are the stats of the two quarterbacks from this game. Quarterback A: 18/30, 203 yards, one touchdown, two picks, 66.2QBR. Quarterback B: 28/39, 245 yards, two touchdowns, one fumble lost, 105.2 QBR. Mahomes is A, Wilson is B. Zach Wilson outplayed Patrick Mahomes. Not by much, but he did. It was a shocking development that no one could have predicted. Wilson showed the talent that got him drafted number two overall in the 2021 NFL Draft giving hope to a fanbase that has been battered and beaten for decades. All eyes will be on Wilson next week against the Broncos to see if he can put together another good game. If he can string some games together, the Jets all of a sudden are launched back into playoff contention. I am eager to see a game that already has drama baked in after Sean Payton ripped Jets coach Nathaniel Hackett for being the worst coach in NFL history after his disastrous Broncos season a year ago. Wilson’s play is a glimmer of hope, and I say glimmer because when Jets fans have too much of it they get their heart ripped out and stomped on.

Vibes: Just Endure The Suffering.

Seahawks @ Giants (MNF)

The story of the game, at least for the victorious Seattle Seahawks, was rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon. In a game that was overall a slog, riddled with flags and mistakes, Witherspoon stood out for his excellent athleticism leading to crushing hits reminiscent of the Legion of Boom. He’s not that caliber yet, considering that defense was a legendary Super Bowl winning unit, but his hitting ability and his 97 yard pick six cemented his coming out party as a star in the NFL. Seattle destroyed the lowly New York Giants 24-3 and sit in second place in the NFC West at 3-1. If Geno Smith can replicate last season or even improve, the Seahawks can make some noise in the playoffs with a scrappy defense and young playmakers on both sides of the ball.

Vibes: The 12’s want to make some Seattle Sound in the playoffs.

The New York Giants are a mess. They stink. They are unwatchable. They will be lucky to win six games. Daniel Jones was terrible, but not all the blame can be put on him. Sure, paying him $40 million isn’t ideal by any means, but the offensive line let him get pulverized giving up 10 sacks. Saquon Barkley also didn’t play. Anytime a team’s best offensive player doesn’t dress it’s difficult to overcome, especially for a Giants team devoid of any offensive weapons. Tight End Darren Waller was supposed to be the leading receiver after having after logging some good seasons with the Raiders, but barely has more than 150 yards through four games with no touchdowns. The Giants currently have less touchdowns as a team than Christian McCaffrey, and there may be legitimate concern that the MVP candidate for the 49ers finishes the season that way. Brian Dabol was seen on the sidelines yelling at Daniel Jones and throwing a tablet letting his frustrations boil over. If you are an optimistic Giants fan, I’m going to save you the emotional beating. In the Giants remaining thirteen games they play the Dolphins and Bills on the road the next two week, they play Washington twice, Philadelphia twice, the Cowboys one more time, the Jets, New England, New Orleans, the Rams, the Packers and the Raiders. Like I said, I struggle to find an avenue to six wins from a team that has a shot to go winless in their division.

Vibes: You’re having a nightmare, and no matter how hard you pinch yourself you won’t wake up.
