A big day for Paul as his beloved Eagles take the NFL crown. A completely dominant display from the Eagles, where the defense was really the star of the show.

We talk about the game, about staying up late, and also about how Big Dom always seems to know where the cameras are. What more could you want?

Seeing as it's pro-bowl week we're undertaking a pro-bowl-like exercise (more of an all-pro exercise actually) where we select our NFL Team of the Year. We also give our nominations for the NFL end of season awards.

We're talking about how both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs produced their best performances of the season to book their place in the Super Bowl. We also talk about how over-matched the Washington Commanders were - and hence how well they've done to even get this far. The Buffalo Bills are also mentioned, sadly in an all-too-familiar situation.

That means we're talking about how the Washington Commanders shocked us all by eliminating the number one seed Detroit Lions. We're also talking about the mistakes that cost the Baltimore Ravens against the Buffalo Bills. There were also wins for Kansas City and Philadelphia, which we, of course, also mention.

This week we talk about a late window that saw the NFC West turned upside down, with Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua combining to overturn the much-fancied Buffalo Bills. We also talk about the Detroit Lions' gritty win over the Green Bay Packers and ponder whether or not the bad vibes surrounding the 11-2 Philadelphia Eagles is actually anything to be concerned about.

Field Goal drama? Check. Two point conversion drama? You bet. Officiating drama? Of course.

Somehow the Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated, somehow Ja'Marr Chase puts in an all-time performance and still loses, and somehow Jake Moody can still be a hero after missing three field goals.

So we have complete chats about the Thursday Night Football game which saw the Vikings fall to the LA Rams, and DeAndre Hopkins trade to Kansas City, but there is no recorded evidence of anything involving Jayden Daniels' famous Hail Mary, Lions' demolition of the Titans, the Ravens loss to the Browns, San Francisco beating their oldest rivals.

Still, a great week of NFL action with plenty to discuss (is it still a discussion if it's just one person spouting gibberish into a microphone?).

Jared Goff played an almost-perfect game to send his impressive Detroit Lions top of the NFC North (the best division in the league), New Orleans Saints were embarrassed by the returning Sean Payton, and the Jaguars got a much-needed win at Wembley to keep their season alive.

We also saw another impressive slate of games, including the Detroit Lions really finding their groove against the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers getting a good road win against Seattle.

We also have the first head coach dismissal, Robert Saleh has been politely relieved of his duties at the New York Jets to seek pastures new (he was sacked).

We talk about all that as well as some (though not all) of the week 5 games which included an incredible overtime win for the Baltimore Ravens over the Cincinnati Bengals and the first win of the season for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

With the Bengals looking to restate their claim as kings of the North, the Steelers hoping to extend Mike Tomlin's run of winning seasons, the Ravens trying to reunite Lamar Jackson with his MVP form, and the Browns hoping to distract everyone from that awful thing that they did, the 2023 AFC North is looking to be a tasty one.

All four teams in the AFC West have won exactly 15 division titles. This year that will change and one team will come out on top, but who will it be? Probably the Chiefs again to be honest...

Could the Broncos become *entertaining*? Will Garoppolo thrive when reunited with Josh McDaniels? Could this finally be the Chargers' year? None of these things seem particularly likely but who knows.

Will Rodgers shine in a new-look Jets team? Is Bill Belichick's job actually in danger? Can the Bills get over the hump and go to the big dance?

Find out how little we know about these questions and more!

A division of four teams with four new starting QBs, who were only separated by one win in 2022. The NFC South is a tough one to predict. So naturally, that's what we tried to do. Only time will tell just how badly we did.

How will the Packers fare without Aaron Rodgers? Can the Lions build upon their 2023 success? Could the Bears surprise us all and go worst-to-first? Unlikely to be honest...

We try to answer some of these questions, albeit with the significant help of Gregg Rosenthal's Projected Starters article on NFL.com.

Will the 49ers dominate again? Will Geno Smith lead a young Seahawks team to a surprise division title? Can the Cardinals do something good?

Who knows? Not us.

Will the Eagles reign supreme once again? Can Daniel Jones be more than just "alright"? Will Ron Rivera keep his job and send the Commanders (if they are still called that by the time you read this) to the playoffs?

Good questions, none of which we really know the answer to...

Listen to find out how the NFL could and should be more like rugby, how to fix the schedule so that the games are no longer on a school night, and why Tour de France highlights are so rubbish.

An actual in-person episode, which didn't quite go to plan. After trying to watch a random game on Game-pass presented far too many technical problems, we instead decide to watch Super Bowl 52, in which the Eagles emerge triumphant against the Patriots [spoiler].

Paul gets very excited about his new favourite team becoming world champions - although arguably more excited about Justin Timberlake's half time show.

We talk about the possibility of an NFL division moving overseas, how to spruce-up the extra points, and a brand new version of the game Paul insists on calling KrAzY-NFL.

We learn about plenty of Eagles history. Paul also has to backtrack from his previously held position that it would be a bit of a cheat to jump on the bandwagon of a team from the Superbowl.

We talk about how he started at a local community college and worked his way to be one of the greatest players in NFL history.

But you can't only talk about football when it comes to Aaron Rodgers... we also touch on his four-day darkness retreat, that time he hosted Jeopardy, and whether "immunized" and "vaccinated" are indeed the same thing (spoiler: they definitely aren't).

Who were the winners and losers of the draft? Why was John's mock draft so bad? Does anyone actually watch the entire draft?

Sadly, there were some sound quality issues with this one, we've done what we can to fix them but we don't really know anything about audio editing so it's still not ideal.

Paul measures himself against draft prospects by predicting how well he reckons he can do in the combine drills. John also gives an incredibly overly-detailed account of how the Texans lost the number one pick on the final day of the season.

Note that, as with most of these episodes, this was recorded about 5 weeks before publication so is probably already out of date.

Where do all the players line-up? Why do running backs not get paid? Why is there a tight end but no loose end? Answers to all these questions and more (well, not really answers, but we ask these questions at least). Plus, we recap a lost episode and John manages to shoe-horn in more movie chat, this time about The Blind Side.

How do UK fans choose their teams? If you could go to any NFL game what would it be? Why can Paul only name 2 current NFL quarterbacks?

We'll answer these questions and more as we introduce ourselves and really demonstrate our truly exceptional levels of ignorance.

Paul also tells us about his informal American football games played after school that included "half the boys at school" and at least one broken bone.

A UK NFL podcast that doesn’t have a clue. But we want to learn!

We'll be talking about all the biggest talking points in the NFL and answering some big questions, like;

What is the Draft?

Who is Aaron Rodgers?

And why does everyone hate the Cowboys?
