Description: C.J. Stroud’s performance vs the Patriots was labeled “a disgrace” after a brutal four-interception day that could have been even worse. The guys break down what looks like real regression: sloppy fundamentals, indecision, and turnovers that are no longer just “bad luck.” Plus, Troy Aikman delivers a cold, direct assessment of Stroud on the broadcast, and the discussion turns to the bigger issue for Houston: is this a quarterback problem, a coordinator problem, or both? They also rip Demeco Ryans for punting late while down two scores, debate how much the weather mattered, and why the Texans’ elite defense made the missed opportunity feel even more painful. Then the hour swings to a wild list of “best plays by losers,” and finishes with MLB hot stove talk as the Cody Bellinger sweepstakes heats up, including what the Yankees should do if the Mets come with a huge short-term offer.
