What’s going wrong? And what chance does each team have of pulling things together and salvaging a playoff spot? Continue reading

cian faheyWe were lucky enough to be joined once again by Cian Fahey, NFL analyst for Football Outsiders, Bleacher Report and author of the Pre Snap Reads Quarterback Catalog. He’s also one of the best follows for NFL analysis on Twitter, you can follow him at @CianAF.

Host Evan Sally and Cian spoke in depth about the Bills troubles on both sides of the ball. Evan asked Cian if Tyrod can bounce back from his start of the season, what the value of firing an offensive coordinator is and if Rex’s approach can work in the 2016 version of the NFL. They also went around the league, as Evan asked about the problems surrounding Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay’s offense, if Minnesota might be better despite losing Teddy Bridgewater and Adrian Peterson, if Carson Wentz is for real and much more.
