Now that we have two full weeks of NFL action in the books, we can start to read a few trends, both good and bad, and get a sense of where teams are. This was the focus of our matchup preview podcast in preparation for Week 3. Among the topics Mark Schofield and Doug Farrar discussed: 
Why Davis Mills is totally hosed against the Panthers' amazing defense, and why it's not Davis Mills' fault;How Washington can continue what has become a worrisome trend regarding one Josh Allen;Why both Justin Fields and Baker Mayfield might look great in the Bears-Browns matchup;Why the same could be said for both Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins when the Seahawks take on the Vikings;Why Matt LaFleur's insistence on halftime adjustments isn't a big deal... but the overall state of the Packers' defense very much is;How the Chargers can take advantage of the Chiefs' current glaring weakness;Why the Patriots aren't turning Mac Jones loose just yet;Why the Dolphins should look at Jacoby Brissett in 2016 to get a bead on the Raiders;Why the Jaguars should never play man coverage, and should especially never do so against Kyler Murray;And how Jordan Mailata is the name to remember when the Eagles and Cowboys go on Monday night.

Welcome to the Touchdown Wire Week 13 NFL Matchup podcast with Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield. Mark and I discuss how things will shake out, with these as the primary questions:

Is it time for Ben Roethlisberger to mix in more breaking balls, and who’s Pittsburgh’s best Bud Dupree replacement? 

Should the Browns and Titans throw the ball at all when they face off?

Does the Eagles’ coaching staff have too many cooks with a really bad recipe? 

Are the Falcons the only NFL team that should play more man coverage? 

What does Bill Belichick like about Justin Herbert, and what might that tell us about New England’s coverages against the Chargers? 

Should Richard Sherman play more free safety, and should Robert Saleh start thinking about a Michigan homecoming?

How will Deshaun Watson fare without Will Fuller?

Why did it take so long for Sean McVay to become publicly frustrated with Jared Goff?

And, should we start talking about Matt Lafleur as the NFL’s best play-caller in the passing game? 

There’s a lot to get to, so let’s get rolling with the Touchdown Wire Week 13 NFL Matchup podcast with Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield!

In this week's episode of the Touchdown Wire NFL Matchup Podcast, Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield ask (and hopefully answer) the following questions:

Can Tampa's broken passing game be fixed? 

How are the Ravens going to deal with a Steelers defense that slapped Lamar Jackson around in Week 8?

Will the Lions, Chargers, and Eagles stop playing so much man coverage and being really bad at it?

Why do people insist that Cam Newton is Bill Belichick's biggest problem when it's really Bill Belichick's defense?

Is Derek Carr a Top-5 quarterback?

Are we taking Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes for granted at this point? 

Was benching Tua Tagovailoa the right decision for the Dolphins?

And is it past time to take the Rams' and Broncos' defenses quite seriously?

It's the first bye-less week in a long time, so there's a lot to get to here. Let's get rolling with The Touchdown Wire Week 12 NFL Matchup Podcast with Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield!

In Touchdown Wire's Week 10 NFL Preview Podcast, Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield get into the stories and schemes for the NFL's Week 10. This week, the topics include:

Why Ryan Tannehill could have trouble against the Colts' defense;

How the Browns are about to get a big offensive uptick;

Why the Giants are interesting all of a sudden;

How the Buccaneers have lost their identity on both sides of the ball;

How the Bills can use last week’s defensive game plan against Russell Wilson once again against Kyler Murray;

And why we’re absolutely, positively convinced that Jon Gruden is listening to this podcast. 

All those things and more. We’ve got a lot to cover, so let’s get rolling!

Touchdown Wire's Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield go through all the big stories of Week 7 in the NFL. Why Carson Wentz is better than you think, Todd Bowles' Hall of Fame game plan, how the Cardinals are doing things with the 0-6-5 defense, why Cam Newton can come back, how the Steelers could be in trouble against Ryan Tannehill, why Josh Allen has a problem, diving into the Yannick Ngakoue trade (which happened during the taping of this episode!) and much, much more.
