The Buffalo Bills will finish the season with 11 wins

Maybe this is what the Bills are. Maybe the Bills are just gonna end up being like a 11 win team and they'll look... they'll have at least two more times this season where they look like the worst team in football.

The Buffalo Bills finished the 2023 regular season with an 11-6 record.

Matt Milano will return from his leg injury in time for the NFL playoffs

I'm gonna say Matt Milano will be back for the playoffs and I've done zero research into it.

Matt Milano remained on IR for the rest of the 2023 season and did not return for the Bills' playoff run.

Todd Bowles is a creative but poor head coach who bores fans

Todd Bowles, he's boring and not good, which is the worst combination. But he does find creative ways to be bad. Whatever that was at the end of the half. You were was a very creative way to be bad.

This is subjective, but Bowles led the Bucs to a division title and a playoff victory in 2023, making the 'not good' label debatable.

Al Michaels is the perfect broadcaster for Thursday Night Football because the games are usually bad

Maybe Al Michaels is the perfect guy for Thursday night football. Yeah. Because like, you don't want to peak too early. No. You want to kind of ease your way into the weekend.

Broadcasting preference is entirely subjective.

The Los Angeles Rams actually stink and were overrated due to a lucky Week 1 win

I have a theory that I would like to throw out there. The Rams stink... Every year there's like one or two teams that have a great week one and it sticks in our head for a while. Maybe too long. The Rams beat the Seahawks week one... Since then... their two wins after the Seahawks week one win was against the colts in overtime... and the Cardinals.

The Rams finished 10-7, made the playoffs, and were one of the more dangerous teams in the NFC down the stretch. They did not 'stink.'

You have to bet on the Packers against the Vikings because Minnesota is coming off a high

The Vikings just beat the Niners on Monday Night Football in front of the world. They're going to play at Lambeau against a very stinky Packers team. You have to bet the Packers.

The Vikings defeated the Packers 24-10 on October 29th, 2023.

Tyrod Taylor is a better quarterback than Daniel Jones

Tyrod Taylor is better than Daniel Jones. It's so crazy how much the giants fuck that up. Like you had Daniel Jones for four years and he was, what the, somewhere between like the 15th and 20th best quarterback.

Subjective comparison of two quarterbacks, though most statistical metrics and NFL front offices would favor Jones at this stage of their careers.

Arthur Smith is a sneaky genius for limiting Bijan Robinson's touches to keep him fresh

Could Arthur Smith be a sneaky genius? Could he be saying we just spent a lot of money on this first round pick running back. Don't put too many miles on him early in the season. Bijan is gonna look that much faster late in the year.

Arthur Smith was fired at the end of the season partly due to offensive underperformance and poor usage of star players. Robinson's production did not significantly peak later.

Bryce Young will play well and the Panthers will win their first game against the Texans

I think Bryce Young's gonna look good today. I think the Panthers might win their first game of the season.

The Panthers defeated the Texans 15-13 for their first win of the season.

Trent Williams is the most important player on the 49ers offense

I think Trent Williams is [the most important player on the offense] for sure. Christian McCaffrey at 85% without Deebo Samuel and without Trent Williams... things look different.

Inherently subjective as it's an opinion on player importance.

Offensive line sacks should be timed; after 5 seconds, it's the quarterback's fault

I think after five seconds it should be considered a tackle for loss [instead of a sack]... these dbs are supposed to cover for 10 seconds. That shouldn't be a completion against me.

This is a proposed rule/stat change, not a verifiable fact.

Sam Howell's historically high sack numbers are due to him not throwing the ball rather than bad offensive line play

The Washington commanders, they are top five in the NFL with time before pressure. Right. Which tells me that Sam Howell is just not fucking throwing the ball.

Next Gen Stats confirmed Howell had some of the longest 'time to throw' and 'time to sack' metrics in the league, supporting the claim that he held the ball too long.

Wisconsin will shock the world and upset Number 3 Ohio State

Boys, I believe that the badgers are gonna upset and shock the world. And I know that this is how it happens to me... 20 years ago this month a freshman Big Cat stormed the field when Wisconsin... beat number three Ohio State. And 20 years later, a double digit underdog is playing number three Ohio State.

Ohio State won the game 24-10.
