Thin Andy Reid might be better than Bill Belichick

Thin Andy Reid—maybe all the fat was the dumb stuff that made him call timeouts at inopportune times. Thin Andy Reid might be better than Bill Belichick. Two and one. The Chiefs are two and one under Andy Reid against the Patriots.

While Andy Reid eventually became a legend, in 2017, suggesting he was better than Belichick (who had just won 2 of the last 3 titles) was incorrect.

The New England Patriots are dead (but they're still going to win the division)

The New England Patriots are dead. Actually, they're still going to win the division, but it's times like this I thank my lucky stars I'm not a New England Patriots fan.

The Patriots finished 13-3 and won the AFC East in 2017, proving that while they weren't 'dead,' PFT's second-half prediction was perfectly accurate.

Patrick Mahomes' presence has taught Alex Smith how to throw the long ball

Alex Smith, out of nowhere, showed that he can throw that long ball tonight. Pat Mahomes is like when you have an old male dog that has always pissed putting its hips down at the ground... and when you bring a new pup in that lifts its leg on something, your old dog's like, holy shit, that looks cool. Mahomes is a young pup that's taught Alex Smith to lift his leg.

Alex Smith had his most aggressive and successful deep-ball season in 2017, leading the league in passer rating on deep throws.

Alex Smith will have another 12 years in the NFL as a career backup and will usurp Josh McCown

That guy [Alex Smith] is going to have another, like, 12 years as a backup. That guy is going to be the—he's going to be a backup on, like, four more teams after he gets demoted from the team. He's going to usurp Josh McCown for career backup guy.

Alex Smith remained a starter for the Chiefs in 2017 and Washington in 2018. Following his severe injury, he made a comeback but only played 4 more seasons total, retiring in 2021, far short of the 12-year prediction.

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.
