Steve Wilks secured another year as the Cardinals head coach by beating the Packers

I think that Steve Wilks secured his future by getting Mike McCarthy fired today. Yeah, I think that gets him another year.

Despite the win, the Cardinals fired Steve Wilks on December 31, 2018, after just one season.

Firing Mike McCarthy mid-season was the right move for the Packers

I actually I think this is the right move just because that team clearly has quit on him... The Packers were so clearly going to fire him. Why not just put everyone out of their misery? This actually probably helps Mike McCarthy. He can go get another job now.

The Packers eventually hired Matt LaFleur and saw immediate success, while McCarthy took a year off before joining the Cowboys, supporting the idea that the split was necessary.

Melvin Gordon is the first or second best running back in the NFL

Melvin Gordon is like, I think – if not the best running back, probably the second best running back right now in the NFL.

In 2018, Todd Gurley and Christian McCaffrey were arguably better, and Saquon Barkley was a sensation, making Gordon top 2 a stretch even then.

I'm officially 'Done Chaining' the Carolina Panthers

I want to dun-chain the Panthers... The Panthers at 6-6 could easily catch someone and still get in the playoffs, but I honestly— Done chain them. I'm done chaining them. They're done. They don't have any fight. They look like shit.

The Panthers finished the 2018 season 7-9 and missed the playoffs, losing 7 of their final 8 games. Big Cat was exactly right.

The Chargers could beat the Chiefs on Correction Sunday

Could it be something as drastic as the Chargers beating the Chiefs, the Chiefs at four and oh, the Chargers at oh and five? I think it's only been three times since the merger that a team four and oh or better has lost to a team oh and four or worse.

The game had not been played when Florio made the prediction.

Someone will be fired if the Chargers start 0-6

The Chargers are never gonna be any more desperate than they are on Sunday, because their bye week comes next. And I assume somebody's getting fired. If they lose, whether it's Mike McDaniel, whether it's all the way up to Jim Harbaugh, I don't know, but I assume somebody's out if they go oh and six into the bye.

Whether a Chargers coach was fired after an 0-6 start is resolved after the bye week.

Josh Jacobs may not play again until the NFL sees the video

If I'm the NFL, my position is, hey man, you're not playing again until we see this. ... I think that's gonna keep this paid leave extended beyond Week 6 for Josh Jacobs.

Jacobs' playing status and the NFL's response would determine whether the paid leave continued beyond Week 6.
