The Steelers aren't in a bad position as a franchise despite Big Ben's retirement

If you look at the entire NFL, the Steelers are not in a bad, like, no, it wasn't Big Ben with it. His last ride was with all his guys... they have pieces on offense. They just need a quarterback and an offensive line.

Since Big Ben retired, the Steelers have remained competitive but have struggled significantly at the quarterback position (Pickett, Trubisky), largely proving the 'just need a QB' part right but also highlighting how hard that is to find.

The Eagles drafting Jalen Reagor before Justin Jefferson was a mistake and Reagor is a bust

Beer before liquor, you'll never be sicker; Jalen [Reagor] before Justin [Jefferson], you just drafted a busted.

Justin Jefferson became one of the best receivers in the NFL immediately, while Reagor struggled and was eventually traded away by the Eagles after just two seasons.

The NFL should keep the seventh playoff seed

To the people that are saying we should not have a seventh playoff seed: you're wrong. Fuck you. If we didn't have that last week, these matchups would have been better... speak as a team that's like, that's our ceiling really is this 7th seed. Just like you and the Bears last year, right? Like just getting to the playoffs, that's absolutely worth having that extra seat in there.

The 7th seed has remained in the NFL since this take, and in 2024, the 7th seed (Packers) defeated the 2nd seed (Cowboys).

A seven-seed will eventually beat a two-seed in the NFL playoffs

Dummies, like you're just playing the results. One year a seven seed will get hot and they'll win. They'll beat the two seed and everyone will look like an idiot.

In the 2023-24 playoffs, the #7 Green Bay Packers defeated the #2 Dallas Cowboys 48-32.

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.
