The Cowboys family dynamic, not just skill, is what's missing for a Super Bowl run

They've always had the skill. It's just I need the collective will. Those three years we went 12 and 5, we had a good enough team... They had the skill, it was just not the collective will when we got to the playoffs. Hopefully that comes together.

Subjective analysis of team chemistry.

The Patriots' best-case scenario is 12 wins and an AFC Championship appearance

Best case, 12 wins, win the division. [Make] the AFC Championship. I don't want to get crazy.

The Patriots went 14-3, won the AFC, and reached the Super Bowl, exceeding the best-case of 12 wins and AFC Championship.

My worst-case scenario for the Bears is Caleb Williams being 'absolute dog shit'

I think we all know my worst case scenario, it's that Caleb [Williams] is dog shit... It's essentially that everyone is good around Caleb and Caleb is just absolute dog shit. That would be worst case scenario by far.

The season hasn't started yet as of the episode date.

My worst-case scenario for the Commanders is Jayden Daniels suffering a major knee injury

My worst case scenario because it does, I think about this every Sunday. Is Jayden Daniels' knee exploding? Oh, I think I think about it way too much every time he gets hit. I think about it.

Subjective fear/scenario; cannot be 'correct' unless it actually happens.

The 90s Cowboys would have won five straight Super Bowls if Jimmy Johnson stayed

We often talk about we would've could've won five straight, [with Jimmy Johnson] but it didn't happen that way.

Counterfactual history that cannot be proven.

George Pickens will be a phenomenal talent for the Cowboys playing with Dak Prescott

Phenomenal talent [George Pickens]... imagine what he must feel like Right now with a Dak Prescott at quarterback. Yeah.

Subjective evaluation of fit/talent.

Tony Pollard is the best running back of the weekend over Derrick Henry

Tony Pollard's number one, because he took 15 rushes to get 131 yards. It's not just the number of yards. It's also how many times did I touch the ball to get it? Derrick Henry, I think had 32 carries for 219 yards... Parlor, we can't run him 30 times. That's not him. But yes, I believe that he's a true playmaker.

Pollard averaged 8.7 YPC while Henry averaged 6.8 YPC that weekend. While Henry's volume was higher, Irvin's point on efficiency is factually supported for that specific window.
