The Patriots can beat any defense with their current offense

I just think offenses are a strong suit. I think [the Patriots] can beat any defense and I'd rather be playing a team that is known for their really good defense than their really good offense.

The Patriots beat the Broncos' elite defense 10-7 in the AFCCG but lost to the Seahawks' elite defense 13-29 in the Super Bowl. They could beat some elite defenses but not all.

The 2026 Steelers are exactly the same team we've seen since 2018

They are the exact same Steelers team that we've seen since 2018 every single year. ... The Steelers were doing exactly what they've done all year, and almost in a position to potentially steal this game. Except the Texans defense is just so good.

The Steelers lost to the Texans 30-6 in the Wild Card round, continuing a streak of one-and-done playoff appearances since 2016.

The Texans are the AFC version of the Seahawks

The [Texans] are essentially the AFC Seahawks, in my opinion, where their defense is elite. And you essentially have to get to the point where you're like, can you see CJ Stroud or Sam Darnold playing a clean enough game that they can get all the way to the Super Bowl?

This is a subjective comparison between team styles.

CJ Stroud is the most 'susceptible to ass' quarterback remaining in the playoffs

I do think that CJ Stroud is, he's not his ass as he played last night, but he does. He's susceptible to ass. ... For quarterbacks that remain in the playoffs, I feel like he, just off the top of my head, he might have the highest probability of ass.

Subjective assessment of a player's consistency and floor.

The DMV is the worst line to wait in

DMV. Great pick. That's gotta be one one. Gotta be because it goes out of order too. Yeah. That bullshit. It is. Pick number sucks.
