Winning close games makes the Vikings more dangerous for the playoffs

I think it's actually good that the Vikings are winning all these like super close games and not blowing anybody out. I actually think like learning how to win in weird ways... All that high pressure practice that they're getting in during the regular season is gonna be very good for them in the playoffs.

The Vikings went on to lose their first playoff game at home to the Giants, who were 9-7-1, in exactly the kind of close game PFT said they were prepared for.

The Jets will trade Zach Wilson

I think they're gonna end up trading [Zach Wilson] because the way the teams united behind Mike White, I mean Garrett Wilson I think tweeted or said in post game, I'll go to work, I'll get to work something special about that boy talking about Mike White.

While Wilson was benched for 2023 for Aaron Rodgers, he wasn't actually traded until April 2024 to the Broncos. This take was eventually right in spirit but the Jets held him longer than expected.

Jalen Hurts is the NFL MVP

The only other thing I really need or would like to add is that Jalen Hurts is the mvp. He was unbelievable today... Mahomes couldn't get a win Jalen Hurts the MVP right now

Hurts finished second in MVP voting. Patrick Mahomes won the award.

I'm officially a believer in Dan Campbell and the Lions

I'm a believer, I'm officially ready to say it, I'm a believer in what Dan Campbell is doing to Detroit... being able to turn around a franchise like that is way harder than I think a lot of people think that it is.

This was extremely prescient. The Lions became one of the best teams in the NFC over the next two seasons, winning the division in 2023.

Arm length doesn't matter for a tackle as long as the quarterback doesn't have tiny hands

Arm length doesn't always dictate everything. If you have a guy that's got short arms that's playing tackle, it's not the end of the world unless maybe you also have a quarterback with tiny hands, in which case it's like synergy factors. Right. Where if the guy with short arms can't block the guy and then the guy with tiny hands gets hit, more likely to fumble.

Whether specific arm length correlates to fumbles based on QB hand size is largely theoretical and difficult to prove or disprove.

You should never order appetizers at a steakhouse to maximize your sides

I'm of the mindset now that you don't need any appetizers at steakhouses. It's, it's a good place to run Zero apps... You don't need the calamari at a steakhouse... The sides at a steakhouse are elite. The mashed potatoes are always elite... mac and cheese always elite at a steakhouse, you wanna maximize your sides to go with a steak.

This is entirely a matter of personal dining preference.

Trent Williams is the rare offensive lineman who is actually fun to watch play

Trent Williams is a joy to have on your team. He's just a fucking bully. He's also the rare offensive lineman where you have fun watching him play. Like after the ball was snapped, my eyes would just go to Trent Williams because it's like this guy, we might throw an interception, but Trent Williams might punch a guy in the throat.

This is a subjective opinion about entertainment value.
