Defense no longer wins championships in the modern NFL

I did, did you guys see that, that one tweet where someone was like, this must be what it feels like for kids to find out Santa Claus isn't real. And it was a text someone shared from their dad saying defense no longer wins championships.

The Rams won Super Bowl LVI shortly after this, largely due to a defensive line that recorded 7 sacks and held the Bengals to 20 points.

I'm like 90% sure I can predict what's going to happen in the next two years for Sean Payton, Amazon. Amazon... They might put them in a booth with Drew Brees.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.
