The Saints are currently the most dominant team in the NFC.

The Saints feel like the most dominant team right now in the NFC, wouldn't you say? And the team has put it all together, which, very weird, because they don't have their quarterback.

The Saints finished 12-4 and were the #2 seed, but they lost in the Divisional Round to the eventual Super Bowl champion Buccaneers.

Derek Carr has officially improved and we need to stop thinking of him as mediocre.

There is definitely like an old Derek Carr thing that we have in our brain that we have to move past and be like, he's actually just good.

Carr had a strong statistical season in 2020 (4,103 yards, 27 TDs, 9 INTs), largely validating the 'good' label.

The Raiders are the team the Chiefs don't want to face in the playoffs and could make a run like the 2019 Titans.

The Raiders are, I would say, the team that the Chiefs don't want to face in the playoffs... they feel like a team that has enough going for them that they could make some—I'm putting them in my 'make some noise.' I could see the Raiders making a similar run [to the 2019 Titans] this year.

The Raiders finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

We need to stop making fun of Jon Gruden because he is actually a very good head coach.

John Gruden, it's time for us to forget about all the fun that we've made of John Gruden because he's actually like a very good head coach. I don't know [if he's worth 10 years, $100 million], but was John Gruden in his bag tonight? Yeah... He coached as good a game against the Chiefs as I think you can do pretty much.

The Raiders finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs in 2020, and Gruden resigned midway through the following season. His tenure is generally viewed as a failure relative to the contract.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

Jeffrey Simmons makes the Bears Super Bowl contenders

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.

The 2026 NFL season and Super Bowl outcome have not yet been resolved from the episode date.
