The BFTB Live NFL Draft Show: Round 1
EOn Thursday night, Garrett Sisti, Daniel Stebbins, Matthew Stanley, and I went live while streaming the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft to give you all a different, possibly more casual (and fun!) option to follow along with apart from the usual ESPN or NFL Network commentary. It was an interesting night, to say the least. There was a plethora of head-scratching picks (looking at you Dave Gettleman) and almost as many A+ selections with a handful of top prospects falling all throughout the evening. This was the longest amount of time that Chargers fans have had to wait for their first round pick in quite some time but that’s the trade-off when your team makes the playoffs and doesn’t lose in the opening round. Throughout the stream, we all became more and more enthralled with the possibility that top offensive tackles such as Cody Ford or Jawaan Taylor could fall all the way to #28 a la Derwin James last year. Both those players were available when the Bolts were finally on the clock and, to our great surprise, neither were the pick. Notre Dame defensive tackle Jerry Tillery was inevitably the pick and after some initial reactions of deflation, frustration, and some well-deserved disappointment, the staff finally came around to the pick after some healthy discussion and perspective. If you were unable to join us for opening night and wish to revisit the stream, we’ve got you covered below. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

EBack with episode 11-3. Another victory that was truly never in doubt.

Pass-rush came alive • Addae never making a play on the ball • Mike Williams the best WR in team history, allegedly • Benji making plays through contact?!?! • Antonio Gates is the father of at least 3 Chiefs players • Ranking the AFC playoff teams as who you’d like to face?

Ep 11Three Drink Minimum Podcast #11: Philcember: It’s good to be back
EPhilcember: It’s good to be back Man, what a game. This recap was fresh off of the game, so the thoughts are a little more scattered than recent weeks. Like usual, we take it step by step on how the game happened. Tough to imagine a worse start than the Chargers had. Head coach Anthony Lynn thinking that three points would make a difference to start the game was the ultimate head-scratcher. A 50-yard field goal at Heinz field at night is not one of the smarter things you can do. That’s despite the yardage you need. At that point in time, it was 4th & 1. At that point, Rivers was 31 for his last 31. Like, come on, coach. As soon as Badgley missed, you knew the Steelers were scoring. From there: • Derwin • Refs • Justin Jackson • Game never in doubt • Random questions along the way • Bosa sack • Des punt return • Momentum is real And a whole lot bunch of other talk recapping a game that absolutely took two years off of all of our lives.
