Cliff Kingsbury will be the fall guy for Kyler Murray's struggles because of Murray's massive contract

Kyler is our guy and the only way to change if things don't go well with Kyler before you admit to everyone it's Kyler's fault because you're paying him all this money, you admit to everyone that it's the coach's fault and get a new coach. ... it's gonna be Cliff [Kingsbury] that goes not Kyler.

Kingsbury was fired in January 2023 following a 4-13 season, while the Cardinals kept Kyler Murray.

The Green Bay Packers are officially broken

I don't want to get excited but I think the Packers are officially broken. There's two games, the Giants and Jets, where they are a touchdown favorite in both and it just doesn't, like Aaron Rodgers doesn't lose these type of games at home.

The Packers finished the season 8-9 and missed the playoffs for the first time in the Matt LaFleur era, validating that they were indeed broken relative to their usual standards.

The Commanders will cover the spread against the Packers in Week 7

I'm already declaring coms [Commanders] against the spread this week no matter what [against the Packers]. ... Taylor Heinicke, if there's one thing that he does is he comes off the bench and he plays electric games and sometimes steals ones. ... I'm all in on the coms.

The Commanders beat the Packers 23-21 as home underdogs, easily covering the spread.

Brian Daboll is the runaway NFL Coach of the Year

Brian Daboll is far and away the coach of the year through six weeks... down 20 to 10 in the fourth quarter they do one of their patented like 75 yard drives where they eat some clock, get a big turnover. And the New York Giants, like they're Brian Daboll is making a good team out of just a not great roster.

Brian Daboll did eventually win the 2022 AP NFL Coach of the Year award.

The Ravens are using a physical loophole to back out of the Maxx Crosby trade

I'm calling bullshit on all this. It does feel like something's fishy here. And maybe it's just the Ravens using the loophole of, hey, we can see, we can trade for Maxx Crosby, see how the rest of free agency plays out, knowing that this stupid legal tampering and then official free agency, there's a two day gap and then just figure it out later.

The trade was literally rescinded, but the 'nefarious loophole' theory is a subjective interpretation of front office tactics.

The NFL needs a 'no-backsies' rule for players who post elaborate social media goodbye videos

If you post a 13 minute goodbye video on social media like Maxx Crosby did, that should just be trade final. You can't come back on that... I actually am rooting for Maxx Crosby to be on the Raiders now because that will be so awkward and funny.

This is a humorous rule proposal, not a verifiable prediction.

The Panthers were right to overpay for Jaelan Phillips

The Panthers getting Jaelan Phillips, even though it was a lot of money, I feel like you gotta do it. Cap went up and I feel like you have to do those type of moves, especially when you are a playoff team from last year. Your defense was a problem... I'd be like, oh, Howie's interested? I'll give him more money.

The success of the Panthers' defense with Phillips will determine if the overpay was justified.
