The Falcons are officially cursed because they passed on signing Blake Bortles

I just cursed the Falcons because they looked at Blake Bortles [and] didn't sign him. I realized after I cursed them that I might've actually freed them. No, it's a double curse.

The Falcons finished the 2021 season with a 7-10 record and missed the playoffs, arguably validating the 'curse' within the context of the bit.

Hard Knocks has taken a nosedive and is no longer essential viewing

hard knocks has taken a nosedive. It was a drone shot, which was cool. The drone shot was very cool. Very cool... but that is what hard knocks [is]. Like we're at a point now that was tonight's mojo moment. It was the mojo moment. We're watching the hard knocks because that's what we want to do. But there's also moments where we're like, why are we doing this?

The show's ratings and cultural relevance have generally declined over the years as teams exert more control over the content.

Hard Knocks should be a two-hour special at the end of training camp instead of a weekly series

I think maybe if you, if you were to take the entire training camp and then distill it into two hours. Yeah, I think that would be good. We'll film a film. Yeah. Just like, guess have it, have it be two hours on HBO. Like the last week of the pre-season after the cuts, that way you get to meet everybody, you get to meet all the kids.

This is a subjective proposal for how to fix a TV show.

Ben DiNucci is at the end of his line with the Cowboys

I'm dreading next week's cuts. Cause I think [Ben] DeNucci is at the end of his line three picks. He's got the arm launch angle thing going on.

Ben DiNucci was indeed waived by the Cowboys during final roster cuts in August 2021 (though he was signed to the practice squad).

Josh Allen is playing quarterback on easy mode

We're a Josh Allen podcast. People sometimes get upset about how much we glaze him. I don't think we glaze him enough because he's playing quarterback on easy mode. It looks like that for him. The flick of the wrist, the runs, everything—it all looks like the game is slowed down for him. He's in just total control of the game.

Subjective assessment of Josh Allen's play and dominance.

Week 1 underdogs that failed to cover are a 70% ATS trend in Week 2

Teams that failed to cover the spread in Week 1 and enter Week 2 as underdogs have gone 26-11-2 against the spread since 2014. Seventy percent.

The stated 26-11-2 record and 70% rate can be checked against historical NFL results.

The Bears will beat the Vikings, but they won't score 59 again

I think the Bears are gonna win. I do not think they're gonna score 59 points. I do think they're gonna win.

The Bears-Vikings result and Chicago's point total will determine this prediction.
