The 2024 Philadelphia Eagles are most likely an average team

I revised the overall team maybe 18 times before I came to a final version... Not terrible, not great. A possibility to still be good, but most likely average. Like fighting like wild cards. Yeah. Seven seed. Yeah. Six seed.

The Eagles currently have an 11-6 record and are in the playoffs as a wild card, which matches Max's prediction of 'average/wild card' despite the talent.

The narrative that the NFC South is the worst division in football is officially over

I believe that we officially have to end the narrative that the NFC South is the worst division in football because they have the two and Oh Saints, the one and one Falcons, the two and oh bucks. They're a good division now.

By season's end, the NFC South actually remained one of the weaker divisions statistically, though it was improved from the previous year.

Nick Sirianni should have been arrested for not kicking the field goal in the first half

The Eagles could have won if they had kicked that field goal in the first quarter. Which, and it's not, it's not hindsight to say it. I tweeted out at the time that Nick Sirianni should be arrested... I think that just the take that Nick Sirianni should be arrested is applicable to all sorts of different things that he does.

The Eagles lost by one point (22-21). If they had taken a field goal instead of failing on 4th down early in the game, the final score would literally have changed the outcome. The 'arrested' part is obviously metaphorical.

The Eagles should have run the ball twice on their final offensive possession

Running the football there... I'll even get crazy here. Ready? Ready for this Max. I think you run it twice and you get a first down because you're the Philadelphia Eagles and no one can stop when you run it with your biggest offensive line in football.

While speculative, the Eagles are known for the 'Tush Push' and have a dominant run game. Running the ball would have burned at least 40 more seconds off the clock, making the Falcons' final drive much more difficult.

AJ Brown will be traded after June 1st

I've thought AJ Brown was probably going for a while now. I think it's just gonna, he's just gonna get traded after June 1st.

Brown remained on the Eagles roster past June 1st, 2026.

The NBA's 65-game award rule was specifically created because of Joel Embiid

It's a thousand percent... it's literally the Joel Embiid rule. No, this rule was made because of Joel Embiid. They made the rule because of Joel Embiid because people were upset that he won the MVP and they didn't think that he played enough games.

While the rule was spurred by 'load management' trends, Embiid played 66 games in his MVP season, meaning he would have qualified under the current rule anyway.

The Phillies will regress to a wild card team and lose in the first round

I think Phillies are regressing. They'll still make the playoffs as a wild card team. They'll sneak in and then lose in the first round.

Depends on the 2026 Phillies performance.
