Real Football: Jalen Hurts flops, Josh Allen YOLOs, Packers’ reckoning & requiem for Terry Fontenot’s Falcons build

Packed episode of Real Football ahead of Week 5 in the NFL.

NFL Jalen Hurts is College Tim Tebow in the best and worst ways. (Allow Jim Monos to explain.)

Josh Allen’s late-game interception was a colossal fail, a rookie mistake… but no. Joe Brady should not send him to the chalkboard to write “I Will Not Throw Into Double Coverage” 100 times. As the Bills QB told Go Long, he isn’t going to change his play style. We examine the QB-HC dynamic.

Buffalo’s Defense. There are issues in the secondary. Maxwell Hairston wanted no smoke with the game on the line. Next up: the Los Angeles Rams.

Hey, what about those Atlanta Falcons? A year ago, I sat down in Terry Fontenot’s office. He was beaming. He was soon fired. The GM’s vision is finally being brought to life… albeit after Arthur Blank fired him.

All GMs for all teams know they’ve got to find a quarterback. But what’s the best path? Selecting one first overall doesn’t guarantee anything. Nor does staying patient apparently.

And, hey! It’s Packers-Bears Week. After sifting through the nitty-gritty matchups with Bob McGinn, let’s think big picture with Monos. This the most important regular-season game of Matt LaFleur’s eight-year tenure. Ben Johnson has morphed his Chicago offense into a soul-snatching machine up front. It’ll be must-see TV again.

Thanks for watching, listening, sharing.

You power everything at Go Long.
