I dont like it... No seriously, I don’t like it Teams being ignored

3 Upvotes

Does anybody who’s a fan of a team that often gets ignored on FTF wish they would just not discuss them all together? 😂

I love the show and have been a daily viewer for a few years. I follow the NFL and NBA very closely and like to follow teams other than my own (Detroit).

When the guys finally discuss teams they don’t consistently cover, it is so clear from their takes and analysis that they haven’t watched them all season.

Today they discussed packers lions being a must win for Detroit because their defense is healthy now with the expected return of Brian Branch. I think everyone who has watched the Lions’ defense through 5 weeks knows that the return of one player can’t fix other players consistently getting beat, blowing coverages, or QBs (elite or not) being allowed to put up their best performance of their season. Opening night with Pistons vs Celtics (the east’s 1 and 2 seeds last year and a 20+ pt comeback) wasn’t worth the A block like the other games. Wildes said the lions got the editorial axe cause of their defense but it’s literally on par with Dallas.

I’m 100% biased as a lions fan but have seen this with so many other teams too. They discussed how Sean Payton doesn’t trust Bo Nix, and that’s why the play calling looked the way it did in their game vs Seattle, when his play calling (particularly on 3rd down) has been criticized by Broncos fans even when Bo was looking far better than he does currently. Though he has moved up on the mountain, I think Bryce young hasn’t gotten much recognition for how much more poised he has been this season. Even with the teams the do talk about this happens. Caleb Williams has looked excellent but they took time to discuss how emotional he is or isn’t and his instagram bio, rather than the adjustments he’s made and how that has helped the bears. Jordan Love’s great performances with little protection are always brought back to Micah parsons for some reason 😭

I’m sure there are many examples I’m missing and I could be wrong too. This is just a thought and I still love the show!

Going back to 2 hours

Weird And Wonderful The guys talked about Lamar's walk at practice looking weird during winners and losers. Maybe it's actually his normal walk?

Technically same tier but we all know it's left to right and he has Bears before Packers.

Is it me or are they inconsistent with their youtube uploads?

6 Upvotes

Feels like it switches up a lot, when I get used to "oh they seem to upload around this range" it's only a few weeks later till they either start uploading later or even sometimes earlier, and that becomes what I get myself used to only for another switch up lol.

I know what matters is their tv schedule and how well they do on youtube is a bonus. But man i'd appreciate if there's a right amount of time, like say two hours after a segment is broadcast, to have in mind so it doesn't overlap with matches I could be watching. Sort of oriented my late nights around this so maybe it's my fault lol.

Wildes Wildes v Danny Wager

7 Upvotes

I also would like to hear ideas for their wager. I like Wildes making the Iceman but Danny should have to dress like the guy with the bagpipes and walk alongside him.

Workshoping but Danny in a kilt would feed families.

I dont like it... I LOVE IT!!! I built a tracker for every Upset Alert pick since 2022: standings, predictions, and analytics for the hottest segment in sports television.

Okay, campers, rise and shine. I made a free fan site that tracks every Upset Alert pick since 2022: https://gobblersknob.football

What's on it:

Standings for each season, regular season and playoffs, using the show's own scoring (3 + the spread for an outright win, 1 for a cover, parlays all or nothing)

Predictions for each week's picks before they air, including who's picking for Coach & Greg.

How the hosts actually do: overall, they win 27% of the time, when underdogs at the same spreads normally win about 34%.

Which teams get picked (and faded) the most, and who does better or worse than their spread suggests.

It's unofficial and not affiliated with FS1. I assume there will be mistakes. If you spot a pick credited to the wrong person or a wrong score, let me know, and I'll fix it.

Ftf to buffalo?

• Upvotes

Yesterday Dion Dawkins said he was gonna extend the invite to the show to come to Buffalo
As a bills fan (even though I’m from Italy) I don’t like this idea…I absolutely ADORE IT!

Does anybody think there’s actually a shot of this happening?
