Summary

Izzy is perplexed that the Steelers' defense could look that bad against the Bengals. Then, Stugotz wonders if the Aaron Rodgers failed Hail Mary might've been the best incompletion in NFL history. And finally, we head into the weekend, updating the polls.

Welcome into the Big Stewie, presented by Fandul and the Fandul Sports book. Israel Gutierrez is with us. We're going to get to the polls here in just a second. It's been a great week on the show. Mina Kimes is on God bless football today, if you want to listen to that. We did not get Israel Gutierrez's thoughts on last night's game of the year, the Bengals and the Steelers. It was. It was a game of the year. Flacco and Aaron Rogers.

0:23.6

I felt like I was transported back. on last night's game of the year, the Bengals and the Steelers. It was.

0:20.9

It was the game of the year.

0:21.8

Flacco and Aaron Rogers. I felt like I was transported back to the 90s. It was great. Sorry. I was just laughing. I never really know what you're going to call me. It's either going to be Izzy or Israel, but like sometimes it comes off as like super government and sometimes it just comes off as casual. These two times super government

0:38.2

right there. Like very much like you're arresting me. I apologize. It should be more casual. I am

0:42.8

sorry about that. As you were speaking there, I spent my time thinking, did Aaron Rogers actually

0:47.9

play in the 90s? I'm not certain to either of those quarterbacks played in 19. I believe he was

0:51.5

drafted in 05, I want to say.

0:54.8

Definitely.

0:57.3

But look, that's one of my pet peeves.

0:59.3

Okay, I guess I'm getting too old for this.

1:05.1

But this 90s discussion very much leaks into the 2000s and people don't realize it.

1:08.8

Like there's just you got to separate the 2000s from the 90s.

1:09.6

I'm just telling you people.

2:01.3

But the interesting thing about this game wasn't that to that the two quarterbacks were 40 years old or older. And I think we can we can do that these days. I was just shocked at how, look, I might have said this earlier in the year. This Packers, Steelers, Super Bowl was like a dream scenario. And that might happen. It's never going to happen. It's never. The Packers might make the Super Bowl. But this Steelers team is just, this defense is not going to do anything. Like, not only did they give up, what was the first week? They gave up 32 points to the Jets. Am I wrong? Yes. I believe they did. The Jets should have won that game. Yes, of course. Give a 32 points in that game. They're feeling better about their defense. Why? Because last week they only gave up nine to the Browns. Okay, not a very good team to really feel good about your defense about. But then you go into a game with Joe Flacco. He just got there and you know he can't move.

2:05.0

And so, okay, he's going to want to throw to his guys.

2:08.3

Chase is going to want to throw to Higgins.

2:10.2

And he's probably going to want to do that relatively quickly because if there's any

2:14.4

pressure, he's not going to be able to avoid it.

2:16.9

Like if I'm a defensive coordinator and I know my defensive line is shit, but I know I've got to stop one thing, the quick throw from this quarterback, because he's accurate. And once you get the pressure on him, it's going to fall apart. I'm sending pressure all the time. I'm sending it all the time. And if he gets me once or twice, okay,

2:34.8

but he's going to feel crazy uncomfortable. The one thing you cannot do is let a team take

2:40.6

their one passing option over and over and over again and not let your defense do something
