Sunday Scaries with Buccs McGee

And just like that, it appears the Indianapolis Colts’ season is cooked as Daniel Jones exits with what could be a season-ending injury as the nightmare in Jacksonville continues. A wild weekend in the elements was first punctuated by a flip-flop script of errors in the snow between the Bengals and Bills while the Ravens hardly look like the anointed champs as Aaron Rodgers & the Steelers grun...

Buccs McGee may not like the term “must-win,” but Week 14 is ripe with them! The Bills get back on the right track last week but now welcome a rejuvenated Bengals team with Joe Burrow back under center into town. The AFC South is on the line, begrudgingly so to nutmeg2palmetto, with the Colts heading into their land of terror, TIAA Bank Field to face the Jaguars. Cincinnati will also have eyes on...

The NFC South continues to be a toss-up as the Carolina Panthers pull the upset of the LA Rams at home while the Bucs keep pace by narrowly surviving the Cardinals.  Meanwhile, the Colts continue their spiral now having lost three of four games to the red-hot Houston Texans and throwing the AFC South back into competitive grounds.  PLUS, the fallout from Bills and Steelers… who needed this win mor...

Reaction to the NFL’s Thanksgiving Tripleheader including who survived the battle of fraudulent residents in a shootout in the Motor City with the Packers and Lions. PLUS, a down to the wire finish on the star. Did the Dallas Cowboys just put Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on ice? And of course, the RETURN of Joe Burrow to the Cincinnati Bengals. Too little too late? And can his magical connection...

Postgame reaction to the pivotal Primetime reaction to the Bucs and Rams as first place hangs in the balance for both teams. Things went pretty well for the Colts in Arrowhead about 90% of the time but they couldn’t close the deal against the Kansas City Chiefs. Caleb Williams survives a Bears shootout with the Steelers minus Aaron Rodgers while the Patriots and Seahawks survive close road games. ...

The Colts come off bye seeking to get their mojo back against the reeling Chiefs in Arrowhead, desperate for a win to stay in the playoff mix. The Bucs and their bleeding injury report head out to Tinseltown to take on the red-hot Rams.  And just who may we expect under center for the Steelers in Chitown leads off a very much revolving door of QBs to go over in this week’s edition of XTRA PTS.  Mu...

The Eagles yet again survive another NFC alleged-contender by the skin of their teeth throwing more question marks into the NFC North race especially as the surprising 7-3 Chicago Bears find themselves now in FIRST PLACE! Tampa Bay could not withstand the Josh Allen onslaught in Buffalo but is that sustainable for the Bills? And of course, could the Broncos have put the Chiefs playoff hopes on all...

Now that the Niners are seemingly out of the way, the Rams and Seahawks square off to put some distance in the rear view for top spot in the NFC West. But that’s not the only hot NFC ticket in town as the Eagles, fresh off a rough win in Lambeau, welcome the Lions to the City of Brotherly Love. The Chiefs look to stay in the picture facing a must-win in Denver and the AFC North pits teams against...

Jonathan Taylor solidified his MVP case in Germany with a monster game against the Falcons and the Bucs are left to lick their Drake Maye-infused wounds. Matthew Stafford sets new career milestone to keep pace with the Seahawks in the West while the Bills and Panthers have quite the letdown performances.  Jets had that monstrous firesale at the deadline but said, SAUCE WHO with multiple special te...

The trade deadline came and passed with fireworks! The biggest prize was courtesy of the Jets firesale which landed Sauce Gardner on nutmeg’s Colts! Talk about addressing an area of weakness in a big way.  Buccs McGee’s Tampa squad is front and center in a week of great games as they square off against Drake Maye and the Patriots. Can the Bucs’ injured-riddled receiving corps keep up? The Rams and...

Buccs McGee has some strong words for the Green Bay Packers after an embarrassing loss to the Carolina Panthers where Bryce Young didn’t do a whole lot in his return. But it gets worse as Tucker Kraft is likely done for the season.  A shootout of epic proportions in Cincy as Joe Flacco nearly eclipses a 500-yard game and some rare heroics from Caleb Williams. The Chiefs and Bills renew their rival...

Buccs McGee sees his Tampa team on bye this week while nutmeg2palmetto's Colts venture into Pittsburgh, a place where things haven’t always been so kind to Indy. The Buffalo Bills sharpened their game last week in Carolina and now seem ready to host the Chiefs. Will they set themselves up for a chance at playoff success and maybe a sweep should they meet as usual in the postseason? Or is KC to...

J-E-T-S! Win! Win! Win! A monstrous comeback lifts Gang Green to their first win of the season as the force-feed JaMarr Chase strategy finally fails. The Falcons get walloped on South Beach and San Francisco doesn’t even bother showing up as they visit the Texans. No Lamar, seemingly no problem this time around for the Ravens as the Bears… well, I guess we can just chalk that one up to being the B...

It’s old school night in LA with the old San Diego Chargers uni’s but Oronde Gadsden has made it very new school as he continues his coming-out party. The Ravens fight for dear life in Lamar Jackson’s expected return versus the Bears and the Bills need to beat someone they should for once as they head to Carolina. The Broncos have had some shaky wins, are they due for more drama hosting the Dallas...

Those Eagles are really finding their passing game as both elite wideouts put on a show against the Vikings but where does that leave Saquon? Speaking of monster efforts, Jonathan Taylor led the charge in a thrashing of the Chargers in LA and the Rams made light work of the Jags in London behind Matt Stafford’s ageless arm even in spite of Travis Hunter’s coming out party. The Bucs laid an egg in...

The Eagles need a rebound against the fresh-off-a-bye Minnesota Vikings and the Colts and Chargers duke it out for AFC Supremacy. Washington and the Cowboys have had inconsistent seasons but a chance pitted against each other allows for the opportunity to get back in the mix for the NFC Wild Card picture. And the London finale features the Rams licking their wounds off a lackluster win over the Ra...

Buccs McGee recaps a wild victory over the M.A.S.H. unit 49ers who only seem to rack up more of those injuries. Joe Flacco debuted and found paydirt with JaMarr Chase but the Cincy defense was still no match for the Packers. Some spirited late efforts by the Panthers and Chargers tell very different stories for Dallas and Miami, respectively, and Jacoby Brissett steps in late for Kyler Murray this...

Reaction to the Eagles & Giants as Philadelphia could not get back on the winning track. Lamar Jackson hasn’t practiced all week, should he not be able to go will this doom the Ravens playoff chances? There’s a new QB in Cincinnati as Joe Flacco tries to re-inject life in his arm with new targets JaMarr Chase and Tee Higgins… but is less than a week enough to learn a whole new playbook? A surp...

Bad day for the New York... errr, ew Jersey teams as the Jets defense gets lit up by Dak and the Cowboys and the Giants fall in a come-from-behind win by the New Orleans Saints.

Daniel "Indiana" Jones keeps the Colts flying high, Carson Wentz and Bryce Young steal vi...

Womp womp! The streak is over, Bucs and Colts lose but what’s the fallout in the NFC playoff picture because of it?  The Ravens, well, just… WOW. Need some soul-searching after this one, Michael Penix is back as it becomes clear Washington really needs Jayden Daniels. Jaxson Dart proves the doubters wrong in his debut and Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers defense puts in another solid effort as the V...

The Cardinals and Seahawks kick off Week 4 surprisingly vying to challenge the Rams and 49ers for first place. Our first international game off the year is on deck and the first EVER from Ireland between the Vikings and Steelers. Jaxson Dart debuts for the Giants after Russell Wilson’s less-than-stellar performance against the Chiefs defense and the those very same Chiefs host the Ravens looking t...

Happy times continue for the podcast as both the Colts and Bucs venture into the land of 3-0! But Indy’s path was a lot easier than Tampa’s.

Aaron Rodgers changes the all-time records standing and...

Joe Burrow leads a charge of QBs hitting the IR this week, the Ravens storm back to make themselves look elite again and the bar s...

The Lions are Super Bowl favorites but got waxed in Lambeau, and the Dolphins got smacked around in Indy but welcome in a Pats team off a tough loss to the Raiders and looking to get the Vrabel era back on track. The Bengals may have won but didn’t look so impressive doing so and need to get Joe Burrow and JaMarr Chase back on track. The Kansas City Chiefs face a tall task in the Super Bowl rematc...
