Super Bowl 48 was a worse game than Super Bowl 53

I would say the worst Super Bowl that I've ever watched is probably the Denver-Seahawks Super Bowl. But that was just because it was a blowout from the very start.

Subjective ranking of game quality.

Todd Gurley is definitely injured despite his denials

Todd Gurley was, I think he's hurt. He denies that he's hurt, but I'm pretty sure that he was—there's something wrong with him. He's getting the Steph Curry benefit.

It was later confirmed that Gurley had significant knee issues/arthritis which derailed his career shortly after.

The lower-tier coaches hired from the Sean McVay tree won't be successful

The fifth or sixth guy that gets hired [from the McVay tree] is the fifth or sixth best offensive guy, so he's probably not that good. Exactly.

While some succeeded (Zac Taylor), many McVay associates hired in this era struggled to maintain the same offensive magic as head coaches.

Vic Fangio is a good hire for the Broncos

I really think that Fangio is a good hire for the Broncos. Oh, yeah, absolutely. We haven't really talked about it that much.

Fangio struggled as a head coach in Denver, going 19-30 over three seasons before being fired.

Super Bowl 53 was Bill Belichick's best coaching job ever

I actually think this is probably his best coaching job. Because they're probably not the most talented Super Bowl team he's had, but they ran man basically all year, and then they ran zone in the Super Bowl and just fucked up Sean McVay.

This is a subjective opinion, but widely shared by analysts regarding the defensive masterclass Belichick put on in SB 53.

A long-distance throwing competition between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes will happen

I talked to Josh. He said that he's in. Slid into those DMs on Pat Mahomes. And he has committed interest to it. He said, yeah, let's do it. We'll have to wait until further in the offseason.

The formal competition never actually materialized, though both players frequently spoke about it and occasionally threw long in pre-game warmups.

Roger Goodell is the stupidest person in the world for having Dave Portnoy arrested

I'm starting to think that Goodell and this whole crew, he's the stupidest guy in the world... How could he not realize... the fact of the matter is, it's one thing if they were to stop them and they saw him when he got in there, but apparently they were hunting them down during the game.

Goodell's intelligence is subjective, but the marketing consensus was that the arrest was a PR win for Barstool.

Marijuana is a better recovery tool for NFL players than opioids or Ambien

I didn't like taking Ambien. I didn't like opioids. I didn't like none of that stuff. The only thing that got me to level out and get some sleep, and because my knees were shot, was [marijuana].

The NFL eventually loosened its marijuana policy in subsequent CBAs, acknowledging its role in pain management.

Some great coordinators are simply not meant to be head coaches

There are certain guys who were just assistant coaches... Just because you're good at being a defensive coordinator doesn't mean you can be a head coach... certain guys are meant to be a head coach, certain guys are not.

History generally supports this as many elite coordinators fail as HCs, but it remains a subjective evaluation of individuals.

Jeff Fisher has zero percent chance of getting another NFL head coaching job

[Jeff Fisher?] Nope. No chance. [Zero?] Zero.

Fisher never coached in the NFL again after his firing in 2016, though he later coached in the USFL.

I can still kick a 60-yard field goal and play in the NFL on third downs

I think I could play maybe third downs... I'm good from 60 right now still. [The Bears need a kicker] Yes, they do. Come back.

Johnson never returned to the NFL. While his kicking ability in practice was notable, he was not signed by an NFL team for his leg.

Winning Super Bowl 53 means Rob Gronkowski has three rings because of rounding rules

If Gronk had lost that Super Bowl, he'd still have one Super Bowl ring, but winning that Super Bowl means he has three... if you weigh 250 pounds, you can say, I'm pretty much 300 pounds... everybody would be like, yeah, you definitely look like you weigh 300 pounds.

OpinionFootballHotSarcastic
Gronkowski literally had 3 Super Bowl rings after this game (SB 49, 51, 53), though the math used to get there is fictional.
