The Eagles have a better roster than the Commanders at almost every position except quarterback

The Eagles have better players at almost every position except for the most important position. And that's quarterback. And I keep coming back to like, I think the Eagles' defense is better than what Jaden Daniels has played in the last two playoff games.

The roster comparison is subjective, but Jaden Daniels was widely seen as having a better 2024 season than Jalen Hurts.

Jaden Daniels will struggle in the NFC Championship and throw three interceptions

Jaden Daniels is a rookie. The slipper's gonna come off. He's gonna turn back into a pumpkin. Three interceptions.

This prediction relies on the outcome of the game on January 26, 2025.

The Commanders will win the NFC Championship because history repeats in 33-year cycles

January 26th, 1992. The Redskins beat the Bills in the Super Bowl on that day. This game will be played on January 26th, 2025. That was 33 years ago. Same day they beat the Bills in the Super Bowl. Every 33 years a Commie gets a ring. And this is a ring game.

The NFC Championship game does not award a 'ring' in the traditional sense like a Super Bowl, though players receive NFC Champion rings later.

The Bills must let Josh Allen be 'Superman' and attack early to beat the Chiefs

I hope the Bills let Josh Allen just fucking chuck it. And I hope they let him just be Superman... to win this game, you gotta just, you gotta like step on them early and never let them back in it. Because if you let this be at one possession game in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs are gonna win.

This is a strategic opinion on how the Bills should play the upcoming AFC Championship game.

The Commanders are a Team of Destiny

I told you when I was visiting that this was biblical... everything's going like, you know, sometimes it takes the football gods for things to follow your way... We here because we supposed to be here. Alright, we are a team of destiny.

Outcome depends on whether the Commanders win the championship/Super Bowl.

Jaden Daniels is a Jedi force multiplier who makes everyone better

We got a Jedi, a quarterback Jedi 5. The, the, the ultimate force multiplier. It's, it's changed everything... He's shown you, I am the ultimate force multiplier. I'm gonna make everybody around me better no matter what.

Subjective assessment of Jaden Daniels' impact on the team.

Chiefs officiating conspiracy theories are just a result of the team being on TV more

Data point shows that this isn't a real thing, but people just don't want to hear it... I think it's just a volume thing that Chiefs have been on TV in prime time, the most of any team the last seven years. And people like to root against you when you're having success.

Schwartz is referring to statistical analyses of penalty trends that do not show a significant bias toward the Chiefs compared to other elite teams.

Steve Spagnuolo belongs in the Hall of Fame as a defensive coordinator

If you get three in a row and this defense plays well again, I think Spag should probably be considered for the Hall of Fame at that point. I agree... I don't know how you can have a list without him pretty high on the defensive side.

There are currently no coordinators in the Pro Football Hall of Fame who did not also serve as head coaches, making this a bold but subjective claim.
