The Detroit Lions are 'back' and could sneak into the 2022 playoffs

The Lions, they're back to like the scrappy Lions. They've won three in a row... just think about this for a second. If the Lions somehow beat the Bills on Thanksgiving Day, what that's gonna be? Holy shit... this Lions team might be, they could they could somehow get into the playoffs because the NFC, the bottom of the NFC is that bad.

The Lions finished 9-8 and narrowly missed the playoffs, though they did finish the season as one of the hottest teams in the league.

The 2022 Jets are a mirrors-image of the 2018 Chicago Bears

The comparison I've been making is the Jets this season feel like the 2018 Chicago Bears. And I say that because the Chicago Bears in 2018 were an elite defense. This Jets team has an elite defense. So good. The quarterback [Zach Wilson] was in their second year, second overall pick... It goes to the same problem of your team can be good and your quarterback's bad.

The Jets finished 7-10 while having a top-5 defense, mirroring the frustration of the 2018 Bears (though the Bears actually made the playoffs that year).

Zach Wilson's ceiling is still Patrick Mahomes

I know this sounds crazy, but I really think [Zach Wilson's] ceiling's Patrick Mahomes. Just, it sounds crazy... I still think his ceiling is there.

Zach Wilson was eventually benched and traded to Denver, never coming close to Mahomes' level of play.

Jeff Saturday will keep the Colts physically tough and competitive as 'cover machines'

The Colts continued to do what I think [Jeff] Saturday's gonna have him do, which is just be cover machines. And they played physically... I actually do think that the Colts are gonna continue to be super physical, maybe not like the most electric team... but they're not gonna roll over for anybody like they were before.

The Colts lost seven straight games to end the season after PFT made this take, including the largest blown lead in NFL history.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.
