Let Pylons Be Pylons

The Pylons crew reach 100 episodes of the show. It has been a long time coming and the guys have enjoyed every minute of it (recording wise, not always what happens on the field). With a big show comes a big announcement, and that announcement is the current end of the podcast portion of Let Pylons Be Pylons. Don’t be sad! The guys give you a history of the show and their favorite moments. Also, what would any episode be without football talk?

The 2013 NFL Season is over, but we aren’t done talking about it. What were our favorite parts? What do we want to forget? Did the season live up to our expectations? What about the playoffs? So many things left to wrap up before the Golden Pylons are given out and the offseason begins. So let’s do this.

The biggest game of the year turned out to be a fairly one-sided affair. While that didn’t lessen some people’s enjoyment of the game, others were pretty let down. The guys take you through what went right and what went wrong with each team’s game plan as they also take a look at how things played out compared to what they predicted.

We record an in-depth, total breakdown of the upcoming big game and let you know where the flaws and strengths are with both teams… and then, due to technical difficulties, we lost all of that. So, we recorded a shorter, more concise, version that gets the general points across!

The field for the Super Bowl is set and if you would have listened to Mark before the season started, you would already know what teams are there. Seattle and Denver punched their tickets in the game that we all really wanted to see. How did they do it and did we get the best matchup? We discuss.

We head into Championship weekend with what many analysts are describing as the best four teams in football (we debate that a little) left playing for their respective conference Championships. How did they separate themselves in the Divisional Playoff round from their competition and who has the edge to represent their Conference in the Super Bowl?

Round one of the playoffs gave us one of the best-played weekends of football this season. Unfortunately it wasn’t a complete success as the Bengals fumbled (and intercepted) away their playoff opportunity. We take a look at what the losers will need to do in the off season to make sure “one and done” isn’t their situation again next year.

Week 17 delivered on its promise to come down to the wire where most of the playoff seeding wasn't decided until as late in the day as possible. Even so, there were not very many surprises-- minus a couple blown calls to send the Chargers to the playoffs in their game against the Chiefs back ups. We take a look at the week that was and the playoffs on the horizon.

The guys take a look back on the week the was, but mostly want to look ahead at the week that will be. In an effort to maximize the importance of some of the week 17 games, they are ordered from least impact to most impact. The team does their best to let you know why each game matters and who all it affects.

Mark revels in the knowledge that the Packers playoff hopes are alive. Along with his Packers, there are a number of teams that control their own destiny from here on out. There are only twelve playoff spots and the next two weeks don’t leave any room for error. This is also technically true of the Steelers, though Fizz already laments the futility of their far too late efforts.

After what some think was the possibly the best weekend in football ever, we try to take a step back and decide what good football really is and if we truly saw that on Sunday. There was a lot of good, but there was also a lot of bad. Where is the line and which side of the line would we put them on?

Another weekend of football brings us a lot more inconsistency from most of the NFL. With only a few teams rising to the top this season, the rest of the league is mired in something we like to call "Okay-ness." While some fans are happy that their team isn't a bottom feeder, we argue why they shouldn't be okay with only "Okay-ness."

With Parity running rampant in the 2013 season it's really anyone's guess as to how the season will end. Just when you think you have things figured out, a team will give you their worst effort while some others give you the kind of effort you thought you would see all season. It's a mess trying to sort out who will show up and who will beat who, but we try to get to the bottom of where teams true identity is.

Controversy! Controversy! While here at the show, we do recognize the impact big calls can have on big games, we also realize that games are typically not won or lost on one call. This past week had a couple of controversial calls that did have big impacts, but focusing on those stories neglects the actual football that was played for the other 59 minutes. So, we talk about those minutes, because, football.

There is a debate between the hosts about what makes good football and what makes boring football– like it or not, this is what we have. There are so many teams around the eventual 8-8 mark that the playoffs are not even beginning to look settled and that is something that depresses Fizz and excites Mark. Listen in as they discuss why.

The injuries continue in this season that is basically on life support for star players. How does Aaron Rodgers’ injury change the landscape of the NFC playoff picture? Who can already hang up their cleats?

The NFL season is already halfway through but there are still a lot of questions as to where some teams will finish. The bye weeks are in full effect and some teams are coming out hot and some are falling flat. We take a look and try to figure out which teams will really sizzle in the second half and which ones will fizzle by the end of the season.

Injuries everywhere! It was "Bloody Sunday" this weekend in the NFL with numerous high profile injuries striking teams. There may not be enough QBs left to go around. We take a look at the teams that have weathered the injury bug so far this year, along with the ones who will now have to and the ones who we think won't be able to.

Week 6 in the NFL brought us clarity on some teams and even more confusion for others. When it all comes down to it, now is the biggest time of the season when you will hear people making mountains from mole hill’s or ignoring evidence if it fits a narrative. It’s one of the toughest time to determine what we will see at the end of the season, but we are here to talk about what makes up a team’s true identity.

With 5 weeks of football behind us we are starting to see trends, both positive and negative. Some teams who were favorites for division titles are tanking and others who were thought to be rebuilding or taking a step back are already separating themselves from the pack. We will take a look at some of these teams that are defying the odds and see by how much they are exceeding or failing to meet expectations.

Week 4 in the NFL brings us a little clarity and a little separation. There are still a handful of unbeatens and still a few winless teams as well. As usual, there is a lot in the middle and while most of the middle hasn’t distinguished itself one way or the other, we want to know which teams at the top and bottom are giving us a true vision of what they are capable of this season. We try to do all we can to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Week 3 in the NFL gave us more upsets than we could handle! Running down the list of games we saw around 2/3 of the "favored" teams come away with a loss -- some due to poor play, some due to extraordinary effort from the underdog, and even some by teams showing us things they haven't shown us to this point in the budding 2013 season. We try to navigate the waters of the week and try to determine how so many upsets could all happen in the same football week.

It's too early to count some teams out, but that doesn't mean there are just some bad teams out there. We run down the 0-2 teams and let you know if your team should start panicking. The same thing is true, as always, with teams off to a fast start. Is every 2-0 team created equal? Well, we know they aren't, so we try to take a look beyond the record to see who should be standing tall in a few more weeks.

Week one of the NFL rarely gives us a glimpse at who is at the top and who is at the bottom. Typically it only creates more confusion as good teams play good teams and bad teams play bad teams — or some teams are still knocking some rust off from the off season. We try to determine where teams are in this crazy, mixed-up, budding season and who needs to simply “shake it off” and who may be in trouble.

The NFL season is finally here! or, well… it will be on Thursday! Either way we get to transition to a more season-centered format. But before we do, since everyone else in the world is making predictions for end-of-the-year awards and Super Bowl picks, we do too! Who will stand apart this season and be awarded some of the most prestigious offensive and defensive awards and what teams will be sitting atop the mountain when February rolls around? We give you all the thoughts we have to think, so brace yourselves.
