Adam Vinatieri is missing kicks on purpose so the Patriots will eventually re-sign him.

Adam Vinatieri has been missing on purpose for the last four weeks because he knows that the Patriots are not happy with their kicking situation. Eventually they'll sign him. I actually think it helps his chances of going into the Hall of Fame as a Patriot because he's been missing so many kicks for the Colts.

Vinatieri did not sign with the Patriots and his misses were due to age and injury, not sabotage.

Lamar Jackson will eventually get injured due to his running style.

The only problem is [Lamar Jackson] is going to get hurt at some point. I mean, I hope that he doesn't, but eventually he will. Ravens fans will say, 'Well, he doesn't run like every other running quarterback ever.' [But] he's going to get hit... if you look at the history of the NFL, eventually he's gonna get tucked.

Lamar Jackson missed the final 5 games of the 2021 season and the final 5 games plus playoffs of the 2022 season due to injuries sustained on the field.

The Patriots beat themselves more than the Ravens beat them

I think the Ravens played a good game. I think Lamar Jackson is very good. But I think the Patriots beat themselves more than the Ravens beat them... turnovers will bounce their way, but it looks like the Patriots fucked themselves today with too many penalties and too many turnovers.

While the Patriots had errors, the Ravens dominated physically and Lamar Jackson had a legendary performance. Most analysts credited the Ravens more.

The Jaguars must start Nick Foles over Gardner Minshew

I think this is a no-brainer. You have to start Nick Foles. And that's not saying Gardner Minshew isn't a quarterback in the NFL going forward, but you have money invested in Nick Foles... Gardner Minshew basically made it so either he plays so well that it's a no-doubter or he shits the bed right before Nick Foles came back. And guess what? He shit the bed.

The Jaguars did start Nick Foles in Week 11, but he was benched back for Minshew after three starts.

The Ravens' fourth-quarter problems are moving earlier

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.

This is a season-long assessment that can only be judged against Baltimore's eventual 2026 performance.

Baker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland

This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.

Whether the personal history materially affects the game is subjective, though the stated public grievance is part of the episode's context.

The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games

I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.

The preferred NFL schedule is a policy judgment, though the player-safety rationale is grounded in the discussion's cited study.
