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.

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 Dolphins aren't built to win in the cold and will struggle once the weather turns

I'm going to start buying into the whole storyline of this team [Dolphins] isn't built to win in the playoffs once the weather turns cold... I can't wait until they break out like the candy ass Aqua uniforms and you've got people actually doing that take of like, I don't think that the Dolphins can win in wintertime.

The Dolphins lost at Buffalo in December and then lost in Buffalo again in the Wild Card round in cold conditions. This take proved prescient for that season.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
