The 49ers are more of a Super Bowl contender with Jimmy Garoppolo than they were with Trey Lance

I didn't know what Trey Lance was going to be... I do think that like, Niners, I now put them back into the contender territory because I know what Jimmy G is... They're Super Bowl odds dropped like they're better now.

The 49ers did become massive contenders, though it was eventually Brock Purdy, not Jimmy G, who led them to the NFC Championship game after Garoppolo also got injured.

Frank Reich is officially on the hot seat and could be the first coach fired

I think Frank Reich is officially on the hot seat... nothing tells you that more than the quotes that he had after the game... I don't know what—I do think Frank Reich is now up there for coach to be fired first.

Frank Reich was fired on November 7, 2022. While Matt Rhule was actually the first coach fired (Oct 10), Reich was fired mid-season shortly after.

The Bears should run the triple option because nobody can defend it in pro football

The Bears should run the triple option. People would not be able to defend the triple option... you can't tell me that teams would want to play the triple option in pro football.

The Bears didn't switch to a full triple option, though Fields' rushing became a major part of the offense later that season. They finished 3-14.

The Giants are a borderline playoff team if they get a few bounces

I'm a believer in the Giants with a couple bounces here and there being like a borderline playoff [team]. They can be feisty.

The Giants did indeed make the playoffs and even won a Wild Card game against the Vikings.

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.

Jeffrey Simmons makes the Bears Super Bowl contenders

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.

The 2026 NFL season and Super Bowl outcome have not yet been resolved from the episode date.
