The Falcons are the perfect team to lose in Wild Card weekend

I think the Falcons, they're the perfect team that you would put into the slot of losing a Wild Card weekend playoff game.

The Falcons missed the playoffs entirely in 2024 after collapsing down the stretch (Kirk Cousins was benched). They didn't even make it to Wild Card weekend. While they didn't lose in the Wild Card round specifically, the spirit of the prediction — that the Falcons were pretenders — was correct.

The 2024 Washington Commanders are frauds

Bernie Madoff. Sam Bankman-Fried. The 2020 election. The 2024 Washington Commanders. [Frauds]. Sometimes the haters are right. When the haters are right, you gotta say, great job haters.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
The Commanders finished 12-5, won two playoff games, and reached the NFC Championship Game — their best season since 1991. Not frauds.

Kliff Kingsbury's offenses inevitably decline in the second half of every season

This gets at going back to Kliff [Kingsbury]'s entire existence in the second half of seasons. So back at Texas Tech, here's his record as a head coach... His offense looks completely different right now. We had Austin Ekeler. That's pretty much it.

The Commanders did experience a slide in the second half of 2024, finishing 1-4 in their final five games.

Jaden Daniels will be a very good NFL quarterback, but rookies don't win Super Bowls

Jaden Daniels will be a very good quarterback in this league. Jaden Daniels is just still a rookie. And that's something that I think was very evident tonight... But Jaden Daniels I don't think is, as a rookie, a Super Bowl winning quarterback. 'Cause no rookies are Super Bowl winning quarterbacks.

It is a historical fact that no rookie starting quarterback has won a Super Bowl.

The Chiefs-Rams Trent McDuffy trade is the first true win-win trade in NFL history

I think the only win-win trade in the history of the NFL might be the McDuffy trade. The one that just happened. Where the the Chiefs traded McDuffy to the Rams. The Rams don't give a fuck about first round picks. They got a great player and they still have their better first round pick from the Falcons. That to me is the first win-win trade in the history of the NFL.

Subjective assessment of trade value over time.

The Rams have proven that first-round draft picks outside of the top 10 don't matter

Are the Rams doing it correctly? Not that draft picks don't matter. Draft picks outside of the top 10 don't matter as much... instead of taking risks on a bunch of 21 year olds, let's get the known commodity knowing it's a crapshoot and just keep punting that down the line being like, we don't care.

This is a subjective organizational philosophy that has yielded mixed results for other teams, though the Rams have remained competitive.

Alec Pierce is about to get a massive contract in free agency

I think Alec Pierce is about to get paid too. I think the market on Alec Pierce is gonna be crazy. Possible Patriot. Possible Commander.

Pierce remained on his rookie contract through 2024; he did not hit free agency or get a 'crazy' bag in 2025.
