Summary
NFL seasons never unfold linearly. Things we were sure were true in October often fall apart by December. Robert Mays and Mike Sando examine a bunch of those things on this episode of The Athletic Football Show. Among their considerations: The Buccaneers will get it together (they won't), the Titans are rock solid (they aren't), the Dolphins have it all figured out on offense (they don't), and more.

| 0:05.0 | Welcome to the Athletic Football Show. |
| 0:18.0 | I'm Robert Mays, joining me today. |
| 0:20.0 | It's the Athletic Zone, Mike Sando. Mike, how you doing? I'm doing May is joining me today. It's the athletic zone. Mike |
| 0:21.0 | Sandow. Mike, how you doing? I'm doing well. Thanks for having me, Robert. Very glad to have you here. |
| 0:26.7 | Post-week 14 edition of the Monday hangover today, I wanted to kind of take a step back after yesterday's games and talk about them a little bit, but also take this a little bit wider. |
| 0:39.1 | Because when I was watching some of these games, I was struck by how different some of these |
| 0:46.1 | realities were from things we might have thought four weeks ago, six weeks ago. |
| 0:51.8 | And the first one to come to mind was the Browns with Dishon Watson, for example. |
| 0:55.6 | You know, this is a team that had been rolling with Jacoby Percet. |
| 0:59.0 | And I think the conventional wisdom halfway through the year, whatever timeline you want to put on it, |
| 1:04.4 | is that when they got a better quarterback into that situation, that their offense would just keep on roll. And that hasn't |
| 1:12.8 | happened. And there's a lot of examples like that from yesterday's games and that have crept up |
| 1:19.2 | over the last couple weeks. We thought the Bucks would figure it out. They didn't. The Panthers were |
| 1:23.5 | an absolute joke that fired their coach five weeks into the season. Now they're in contention to win that division again. |
| 1:29.7 | A lot of those. |
| 1:30.7 | So I wanted to spend today kind of recalibrating our thoughts about some of these teams and |
| 1:38.1 | interrogating some of these ideas that we took for granted a little bit earlier in the year. |
| 1:42.7 | All right. |
| 1:42.9 | So let's start with that to Sean Watson idea. |
| 1:45.3 | So the Browns obviously lose to the Bengals yesterday, 23 to 10. |
| 1:49.4 | Watson has another pretty rough game. |
