The entire NFC East could realistically make the playoffs this year

The craziest part about this game too is that, you know, all the talks been about the AFC East being maybe getting all four teams in the NFC East could absolutely get all four teams in. The Beasts are back man. I'm not ruling out the commanders at five and five.

The Eagles, Cowboys, and Giants all made the playoffs. The Commanders finished 8-8-1 and narrowly missed out, making this partially correct.

Taylor Heineke has officially ended Carson Wentz's time as the Commanders' starter

I'll tell you who's not back. Carson Wentz because this is Taylor Heineke's team right now. He's done.

Heineke remained the starter for most of the season until Wentz returned briefly at the end, but Wentz was indeed released after the season.

Losing the undefeated streak was the perfect outcome for the Eagles' season

I actually think that was the perfect way for the Eagles to get their first loss. Because you don't want to lose, but... they had a game that they basically had everything go wrong for them and still almost had a chance to win it at the end. Now you can just focus on cleaning up the things, the mistakes you made.

The Eagles finished 14-3 and made the Super Bowl, so the loss didn't derail their season and may have helped them refocus.

The Eagles are in big trouble defensively if Jordan Davis stays out

If Jordan Davis is out for the year, I'd be like, the Eagles are in big trouble because they can't, their defensive line has no bulk and they can't stop anyone.

Davis returned in Week 13. The Eagles' run defense struggled without him but improved upon his return and they signed veterans like Linval Joseph to address the bulk issue.

The goal allowed by the US goalie was the most embarrassing possible

What about the goalie? Yeah, I mean he... that was the most embarrassing goal that I've ever seen. Possible.

While subjective, the blunder by the US goalkeeper (Freeze/Turner) was widely mocked as a 'MAC football' level mistake.

The USMNT is the 'James Franklin Penn State' of soccer

People were making very mean jokes online that we were James Franklin, Penn State. And it is actually perfectly appropriate because if you look at who we played, we beat the teams we're supposed to beat... and then we absolutely got ass fucked by the team that was better than us in Belgium. We are not who we thought we were.

The US 2026 run included wins over Australia and Paraguay but ended in a blowout against a top European side.

We just suck at soccer as a country and that's okay

My take is we suck at soccer and that's okay. Like, I don't care that we suck at soccer anymore. I'm going to root for the US team. I'm going to get excited when we're in a World Cup... and then I'm going to be reminded that we suck at soccer and that it's just going to be like, okay, yeah, that's okay.

This is a recurring theme for Big Cat when USMNT fails; it's a value judgment on national sports identity.
