The Raiders beat the Chiefs using a 'blueprint' provided by Bill Belichick and the Patriots

The first thing that came to my mind when the Raiders beat the Chiefs I said to myself blueprint game... The Raiders got the blueprint from the Patriots and then executed the blueprint and now everyone else has the blueprint which is essentially have the best offensive line in the game run the ball really well make a few big plays with Henry Ruggs.

The Chiefs only lost two games in the 2020 regular season, suggesting this 'blueprint' wasn't easily replicated by the rest of the league.

The NFL should have scheduled a league-wide bye week in the middle of the season to handle COVID-19 delays

Why didn't the NFL just schedule an extra week in the middle of the season to be like, okay, best-case scenario. Everyone just gets an extra bye week... worst-case scenario like that. What's happening every team that has missed a game can make it up in week 8.5?

The NFL did not add a league-wide mid-season bye, instead opting to shuffle individual team schedules and eventually adding a 'Week 18' buffer only if necessary (which they didn't use for regular season games that year).

Mike Zimmer made the correct decision to go for it on fourth down against the Seahawks

We 100% agreed together we watch the game and we said Mike Zimmer. This is a good move. Essentially we didn't even do it in a mass way. We said what do the Seahawks want the Vikings to do they? They want to kick they want the Vikings kick a field goal because they haven't stopped shit all night.

The Vikings failed to convert and lost the game, but the take is a subjective defense of strategy.

The Seahawks' bright green uniforms are the reason they can't stop the run

The Seattle Seahawks defense was they looked like a bunch of mall security guards wearing those like bright green like the guys in the parking lot... They didn't look like a professional defense... if you want a hard-hitting defense, they can stop the run those real [traditional] uniforms look sweet. No, if they go full color rush highlighter, I'm down for it. No, the two-tone is terrible.

Uniform color has no verifiable impact on a team's rush defense statistics.

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.

Subjective comparison.

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 gonna get excited when we're in a World Cup. I'm gonna get hyped up and it's gonna be fun to watch. And then I'm gonna be reminded that we suck at soccer and that it's just gonna be like, okay, yeah, that's okay.

Subjective perspective on American soccer.
