The Ravens are the most injured team of 2021

With Marlin Humphreys getting hurt last week and Lamar Jackson getting hurt this week, we don't know how long he's going to be out. You officially are the champions of most injured team of 2021. Like I said, you probably already had that crown, but this was like, this was the final piece of having Lamar Jackson getting hurt.

The 2021 Ravens are statistically cited as one of the most injury-impacted teams in NFL history according to Adjusted Games Lost metrics.

Teams down nine points should go for two early to gain strategic clarity

Harbaugh gave us a new little wrinkle to think about... if you're down nine, you go for two, because you're going to have to go for two anyways, to win. You're going to want to know exactly when you need to get that two points.

This is a common modern analytical takeaway that many coaches have started to adopt to manage late-game clock and possessions.

The AFC North title will be decided by a flexed Sunday Night Football game in Week 18

It feels like the AFC north will probably have that game [Sunday night football week 18] for the division, which will be fun. Like that will be fun. I think the, I think the Browns play the Bengals. Maybe it'd be that.

The Week 18 SNF game was actually Chargers vs. Raiders. The Bengals sat starters in Week 18 having already clinched.

The Browns are the most trustworthy team in the AFC North

I think it's the brown thing cause their defense... and because they can run the ball, they didn't run. They chose not to run the ball today, but they can, we know that they can run the ball they're built for December.

The Browns finished 3rd in the division and missed the playoffs, while the Bengals won the division and went to the Super Bowl.

Chase Claypool shouldn't be blamed for the Steelers' loss because a Viking knocked the ball out of his hand

Billy thinks that it wasn't [Chase Claypool's] fault that they lost the game. Billy thinks that it should have been a penalty penalty. They never caused the Vikings for knocking the ball out of his hand. [Billy]: he could have done that little celebration. Then the ref would God there... it also should have been a penalty.

While there was contact, the consensus was that Claypool's lack of urgency and decision to celebrate was the primary error.

The Cowboys are back to being legitimate contenders because of their defense

The Cowboys like that, I walked away from that game, thinking the Cowboys are back to being for real, for real, because that defense won that game. Not the offense with all the weapons that we all talk about.

The Cowboys defense was elite, leading the league in takeaways, but they lost in the Wild Card round to the 49ers.

Washington will make the playoffs if they win their games against the Eagles and Giants

I'm still I'm bullish on the offs for the, for the Washington football team. We're still in the office right now... if we win our games against the Eagles, and then when it gets to the game... and then win against the giants and still lose the Cowboys, I think chances are still pretty good that we're going to be that [seventh] site.

Washington lost both games to the Eagles and finished 7-10, missing the playoffs.

The Chargers vs. Chiefs game on Thursday will go over 49.5 points

Take the chargers and take the over according. Cause I'm not going to bet on it. [Big Cat]: you have six points in your model. [PFT]: Yeah, so my, yeah, the deep numbers are telling me, take the chargers. Take the over on that. Yeah.

The game ended 34-28 (62 total points), easily clearing the over.

Derek Carr is not at fault for the Raiders' struggles given their historically bad defense

Since Derek Carr became the starter of the Raiders, they have given up 26.6 points per game. That's first in the NFL. They've also had 319 defensive penalties resulting in first downs. That's also first in the NFL. So essentially free Derek Carr free Derek, Derek Carr. He is not that bad. He just has played with a historically terrible defense.

While subjective, the stats cited are verifiable facts that support the opinion.

Urban Meyer will leave the Jaguars due to a medically dubious reason

I think he'll probably, well, this is like fake, maybe a health issue... He's going to get [COVID] hanging out in those college bars. [PFT]: I don't think that he [quits]. He doesn't quit jobs. He just, he has medically dubious reasons for leaving them.

Urban Meyer was actually fired 'for cause' on December 16, 2021, following reports of him kicking a player. He did not leave for medical reasons.

Matt Rhule is in over his head as head coach of the Panthers

I am starting to think that maybe Matt rules a little bit in over his head because he did the sacrificial lamb fired his OC, Joe Brady... He then does the switching back and forth for the quarterbacks today. Which made no sense... He was basically running a college, like all offense where it's like, yeah, we'll do this change of pace. Quarterback really fuck them up. No bolt. Those guys stink.

Rhule's tenure was widely considered a failure, and he was fired mid-season in 2022.

The Bills are built solely to win a Super Bowl in a warm environment like Los Angeles

I feel like this Bill's team, they're not built for the city of Buffalo in a weird way, because they can't run the ball... they built this team just to win the super bowl in Los Angeles this year. They're like, if we can just, as long as we get to the super bowl, we can win that game with our [offense]. I actually, I actually think in a weird way there, right? Yeah. I think, I guess if the bills make it to the super bowl, I think they win the super bowl.

The Bills lost in the divisional round in Kansas City. They did not reach the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl will likely be a rematch between the Buccaneers and the Chiefs

Wouldn't it be funny after this entire year that like has chaos and everyone? No, one's good. It's just going to be Buck's chiefs again. Probably like it could, it could very well be bucks chiefs again.

The Super Bowl was Rams vs. Bengals. Neither the Chiefs nor the Bucs made it.

No team in the AFC other than the Chiefs can beat the Patriots in the playoffs

Mack Jones is a rookie, so it wouldn't blow my mind if the chiefs beat the Patriots in the playoffs. But I don't think any other team is.

The Patriots were eliminated in the Wild Card round by the Buffalo Bills, losing 47-17.

Brian Kelly's tenure at LSU will probably blow up due to the bad culture fit

I'm super excited for Brian Kelly in Baton Rouge because it's such a bad culture fit, obviously. So it's going to probably blow up. Now. He can either win really quickly and he should, because if he doesn't, it's going to get bad and it's going to get bad really fast. And it can be very funny to watch like Brian Kelly pretending to be a southerner.

Kelly won 10 games and the SEC West in his first season (2022), avoiding an immediate 'blow up'.
