Show notes
Through two weeks of the 2024 season, the Saints looked like a breakout offense while the Broncos ranked in the top five in defensive success rate. One of those held steady through the entire season. The other...did not. This year, we have some of those same types of early season surprises, including the Colts offense, the Falcons pass rush, and some real Chiefs panic. What of these are real and what are simply small sample size flukes? Robert Mays is joined by Bill Barnwell from ESPN to wade through all that on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.Rundown (timestamps are approximate)4:55 The Colts offense20:02 The Packers as the best team in the NFL32:18 The Bears as a lost cause45:19 Chiefs panic56:32 The Falcons pass rush1:03:13 The Vikings picked the wrong QBConnect with The Athletic Football ShowX: https://x.com/TA_FootballShowIG: https://www.instagram.com/tafootballshowYT: https://www.youtube.com/@TAFootballShowTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tafootballshowDiscord: http://discord.gg/theathleticfootballshowCall us: 847-448-0701Email us: athleticfootballshow@gmail.comHost: Robert MaysWith: Bill BarnwellExecutive Producer: Michael BellerProducer: Michael BellerFollow Robert on Bluesky: @robertmays.bsky.socialFollow Bill on Bluesky: @billbarnwell.comFollow Robert on X: @robertmaysFollow Dan on X: @billbarnwellTheme song: HauntedWritten by Dylan Slocum, Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, and Meredith VanWoert / Performed by Spanish Love SongsCourtesy of Pure Noise / By arrangement with Bank Robber Music, LLC Hosted on Acast.
