I hate my catch against the Falcons in the Super Bowl because I ran a bad route
I honestly, it's a lucky play. Like, I don't, like, I like watching plays that like, I got blown up or something and I just hung on with the ball... I don't like that play. [PFT Commenter: Why?] Because it was a bad route. I middle read, I didn't bop my guy to the bow route... I bananaed my route. You gotta make him feel like you're hitting that bow route... it was a bad route, so I don't like it.

The Nuggets are the scariest team in the West. You're right. Left in the playoffs period. Like the Nuggets just do not care. Like they're not worried ...
The Western Conference power ranking right now is the Nuggets, followed by the Timberwolves, the Thunder, and then the Mavericks
[PFT Commenter: Rank the four teams outta the west. Scary. Who are you the most scared of?] Nuggets one, Timberwolves, Thunder... [Mavs are 4].
I am out on the Thunder for using the 'Hack-a-Lively' strategy with six minutes left in a close playoff game
I might be out on the Thunder... I thought that was so fucking lame that they did Hack-a-Lively with six minutes left. It was a five point game... You're the one seed and you're down five in the fourth quarter with six minutes left... and you're doing fucking Hack-a-Lively. Come on man.

View profileThe Lions are not currently the best team in the NFL because of the Aidan Hutchinson injury
I don't think they're the best team in the NFL... The Hutchinson's injury though does concern me. Like against bad football teams, you don't need a pass rush... but I'm concerned of those games when they have to play against a Lamar Jackson may be in a Super Bowl or you know, a Brock Purdy or, or or a a Jordan Love... can they stop 'em in the red? They need to get a three points in the red area. They can't give up a touchdown. Can they stop 'em in the red area? I don't think so right now.
Dan Campbell needs to evolve and stop taking unnecessary risks like fake punts
I love Dan Campbell, but he needs to evolve his play color. His, his, his coaching style. He, he, he can't act like he's a the hunter anymore. He's being hunted. You know, you, you're the good team. Your culture's in place. We don't have to run a fake punt in the opening drive... when you, me, everyone in the goddamn stadium knew it was gonna be a fake fucking punt.
Matthew Stafford is a first-ballot Hall of Famer
I think he's a first battle hall of famer, man. He's a stud... I feel like he's like a Aaron [Rodgers] and [Mahomes] hybrid where like he gets that pop that, that Aaron got. But he also has been changing arm angles and doing No looks back in Detroit 10, 15 years ago.
