Recap
PFT CommenterMiami would win the National Championship if they simply ran the ball every single play
I think that Miami could win this game if they ran the ball every single play. Their offensive line was dominant. And even when a guy would get wrapped up for a two yard gain, then you get the five huge big giant dogs on their offensive line pushing them downhill like an avalanche. You end up with a five, six yard gain on it.
PFT CommenterMike McDaniel was cursed by the football gods for not breaking the NFL scoring record against the Broncos
2023 Dolphins scored 70 points. Mike McDaniel chose not to go for the NFL record at the end of the game. Did not kick a field goal. I believe the football gods cursed him after that moment. The Dolphins went 23 and 25 after that. The Broncos went 32 and 16 after that moment.
Picks
PFT CommenterThe Rams are the overall favorite to win the NFC
I also don't think it's that hot of a take to say that the Rams could, I don't know what the odds are right now, but they feel to me like they might be, in my mind, the favorite to win the NFC.
Big CatThe Rams, Eagles, and Seahawks are the only three dangerous teams in the NFC
I rank them order, it would be Rams, Eagles, Seahawks. ... If you want gun to my head right now, I think there's three teams in the NFC.
PFT CommenterJosh Allen is currently the best playoff quarterback in the AFC
Josh Allen, who is the best. I think he's the best playoff quarterback in the AFC right now. As much as people like to say that Josh Allen is a choke artist because the Bills haven't won a Super Bowl, Josh Allen is awesome in the playoffs. He is incredible. And the losses that he's had, he's been the best quarterback on the field.
Big CatThe Eagles will easily beat the 49ers in their Wild Card matchup
I'm not just trying to gas you up, Max. I think the Eagles are gonna win this game easily. ... One of my favorite themes that happens every January when the Eagles are in the playoffs is we just get stories of local bars denying service to opposing fans.
PFT CommenterThe 49ers' high injury rate is caused by an electrical substation next to their practice field
The 49ers are statistically the most injured team in the NFL over the past decade since moving to Levi's stadium... Only one variable is unique and the players know it in their guts. ... Players have joked around about there being an electrical substation right next to the practice field and how that has led to the Niners injury problems. ... This guy is saying that the Niners are just getting bombarded with electric waves all day, which is fucking up their bodies.
Interview
Steve YoungAny NFL team without an innovative offensive mind from the McVay/Shanahan tree will be out of the league soon
If you don't have the innovative mind and process and play calling stacking of someone from the tree of Sean Payton, Andy Reid, Sean McVay, or Kyle Shanahan, then get out of the league. ... It's not working. And you look at what's happened in Jacksonville, Liam Cohen... he's the fruit of the tree, right? And he gets it.
Steve YoungJustin Herbert's throwing ability is the 'Mona Lisa' of football
If throwing a football was supposed to be artistic or beautiful, that is the Mona Lisa, this guy. He's the guy that as a fellow thrower... when I watch him throw, I'm like, oh, it gives your heart beats value. Like, oh that is beautiful.
Steve YoungThe Super Bowl will be Seattle vs. Denver
I think I'd say Seattle, Denver. I think I'd go chalk. I just, being at home, I don't know. And defensively both of those squads are showing up with a defense that is elite. Elite.
