The Rams are officially a legitimate, good football team

I think we can say that the Rams are legit. Like they're, they're a good, they're a good team.

The Rams finished 10-7 and made the playoffs, proving they were indeed a good team in 2023.

The Rams are officially a dangerous playoff team

I'm gonna say this, the Rams, I think they're officially dangerous. That's what they are. They're dangerous. Matt Stafford playing great ball.

The Rams took the Lions to the brink in the Wild Card round, losing by only 1 point, validating the 'dangerous' label.

Matt Stafford is a Hall of Famer

Matt Stafford is a hall of Famer and watching him play football is fun. Like his, the the throws he makes And, it, it's, it doesn't feel like it's gratuitous. It's like it's making some of these throws. 'cause he has to make these throws.

Stafford is still active, so his HOF status is pending, but the consensus on his candidacy improved significantly after his Rams Super Bowl win.

Dennis Allen is the worst coach in the NFL

We also need to talk about the fact that Dennis Allen might be the worst coach of all time. And that's not being facetious. That's not being like hyperbolic. That is, if you look at the stats, I think he is somewhere around the seventh to 10th worst coach record wise.

While Allen's win-loss record as a head coach is poor, 'worst of all time' is highly subjective. He remained the Saints coach through the end of the 2023 season.

The Steelers will beat the Bengals in Week 16 because of their culture

This feels like to me and also no Jamar Chase for the Bengals and DJ reader, which will be very important in my opinion. This feels like the Mike Tomlin Steelers era is on the line. This is for the culture because it's, it's an underdog game at home. No one thinks the Steelers are good. They're very banged up and I think they're gonna win this game.

The Steelers beat the Bengals 34-11 in Week 16.

Bryce Young will win Offensive Player of the Week in Week 16

I think Bryce Young is gonna get offensive player of the week. Oh. Because the last two quarterbacks that the Packers have played against have done Offensive Player of the Week, baker Mayfield. And then the week before that Tommy Devito. Yeah. So, Bryce Young, next up Player of the week.

Bryce Young did not win NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 16 (Amari Cooper won AFC, and Puka Nacua/Baker Mayfield had strong weeks, but Baker was Week 15). Young had a good game (312 yards, 2 TDs), but didn't get the award.

The NFC will win the Super Bowl

NFC will win the Super Bowl. ... Should just take the Niners to win the super Bowl even though it's a terrible lineup.

The Kansas City Chiefs (AFC) defeated the San Francisco 49ers (NFC) in Super Bowl LVIII.

Bill Belichick coaching for a team other than the Patriots is a looming reality

Could you see Bill Belichick coaching for any team, but the New England Patriots next year? I mean, I think it's a reality that's gonna, that's gonna come, you know, I won't believe it until it's done. But it it, when the media starts getting on this and starts talking about it where there's smoke, there's fire. And I just hope it's handled correctly.

Belichick and the Patriots mutually parted ways in January 2024, although he did not end up coaching for another team in the 2024 season.

Drops are contagious among wide receivers

Are drops contagious? They are. I, I, I, I honestly think it's not just one thing that you fix it, it, it comes down to, you know, guys working together to execute a play. ... It ultimately comes down to just practice and preparation.

This is a psychological observation from a professional athlete that is widely accepted in football culture.

The Ravens are the biggest threat to the 49ers in a Super Bowl matchup

Lamar Jackson is just a game plan killer. Right. You know, he can go take a game over, you know, and especially if he's, you know, Odell, when when the lights are bright, you know, odells gonna come out and he's gonna start bawling. ... I think they're a scary football team ... Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are 19 and 5 against the spread as an underdog.

The Ravens and 49ers were the #1 seeds in their respective conferences, and the Ravens beat the 49ers on Christmas Day shortly after this take.

Brock Purdy is the NFL MVP

How do we talk about Brock Purdy? Is he the MVP? I mean, right now he, he probably is. That's a, I mean that the MVP's always a quarterback, right. ... You have to give credit to what Brock Purdy's doing. You have to, you have to, you know, the, this whole game manager thing, people don't realize it's more like a game operator.

Lamar Jackson won the 2023 NFL MVP. Purdy finished 4th in voting.
