Summary

We had points, lots of them, (even in touchdown form!), on Sunday as offenses across the league kinda got back on track. Except for the one Aaron Rodgers oversees. Conor and Gary look at the things that went right, but also the things that continue to go wrong for the Packers offense, this time in Buffalo.

Also, what Christian McCaffrey did to the Rams and what the Rams did in one half, but not the second half, against the 49ers; the Summer of Geno Smith continues in Seattle; the absurd ending and archaic rule that played into it as the Panthers-Falcons game went berserk; and the Broncos finally score some touchdowns as they try to figure out how to make late-stage Russell Wilson into a useable starting quarterback.

Then, why the Raiders continue to flop, the Zach Wilson Experience gets too weird again, and it’s always April 15 when Taylor “The Taxpayer” Heinicke gets to the fourth quarter.

0:09.0	And I'm Connor Rohrer.
0:10.0	Connor we had one of the strangest endings of the season, elongated endings down in that
0:19.2	good old Falcons Panthers matchup that I think we were all super excited about.
0:23.4	We got some trade deadline stuff to dabble in just ever so slightly and some of the good stuff
0:29.5	from this week.
0:30.9	But we are still, you know what, we're starting, we're starting the sunny night football.
0:35.0	Blue blood matchup big time quarterbacks all that stuff but just two teams where the divide is so significant and while it seems like no one's really coming up with answers for the bills,
0:50.0	you have this Packard team that doesn't really seem all that much closer to finding answers for all there are various problems
0:56.8	Yeah, in a game where you also lose Quay Walker and Devondre Campbell you might as well I I don't know when you were a kid when you were
1:07.2	did you always you're playing Madden and for you it would have been like, it would obviously have been like tech mobile.
1:14.6	Would you, would you just if you were losing, would you just shut the console off?
1:19.6	Well, who are you playing against? Another human or just the computer?
1:25.0	Let's say your friends are over and you're getting hammered. Were you one of those kids that hit the, like accidentally tripped and hit the reset button?

1:41.4	controversial to this day instance.
1:46.1	We used to play a baseball league, a simulated baseball league where you draft teams and because
1:51.7	we had an odd number of teams we had a computer team that we filled
1:56.8	up with the worst players which everyone was supposed to beat.
2:00.7	And I was losing to that team once that never beat anyone and I don't think if you just came unplugged. I'm not sure exactly what happened, were there were accusations over over shenanigans and who's to say
2:19.2	what happened?
2:20.2	All right yeah I mean if I if you're Matt LaFlore like at some point, you know, and it was weird they were like kind of vaguely in this game for a little while. The defense was sometimes helping them out and standing up. I mean bills are going to score almost 30
