Silver linings for the NFL's bad teams

About this episode

<p>Look, not everyone can be a Super Bowl contender. Plenty of teams aren't even playoff contenders. More than half the league misses the playoffs, and many of those teams are bad. Some are very bad. But that doesn't mean they can't take something from the 2024 season. Robert Mays and Conor Orr from Sports Illustrated and the MMQB find silver linings for those bad teams on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.</p><p><strong>Rundown</strong></p><ul><li>Texans-Cowboys MNF recap</li><li>Jets fire Joe Douglas</li><li>Silver lining for the 2024 Jets</li><li>Silver lining for the 2024 Panthers</li><li>Silver lining for the 2024 Giants</li><li>Silver lining for the 2024 Patriots</li><li>Silver lining for the 2024 Raiders</li><li>Silver lining for the 2024 Browns</li><li>Silver lining for the 2024 Titans</li><li>Silver lining for the 2024 Jaguars</li><li>The Ball Knower...all Lions, all the time</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Host: Robert Mays</p><p>With: Conor Orr</p><p>Executive Producer: Michael Beller</p><p>Producer: Michael Beller</p><p>Subscribe to The Athletic Football Show...</p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-athletic-football-show-a-show-about-the-nfl/id1528622068">Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://spoti.fi/3waggUU">Spotify</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6gWjMSDj7-8j3iCc2ZGo3g">YouTube</a></p><p>Follow Robert on X: @robertmays</p><p>Follow Conor on X: @ConorOrr</p><p>Theme song: Haunted</p><p>Written by Dylan Slocum, Trevor Dietrich, Ruben Duarte, Kyle McAulay, and Meredith VanWoert / Performed by Spanish Love Songs</p><p>Courtesy of Pure Noise / By arrangement with Bank Robber Music, LLC</p><p> </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
