Ben McAdoo's open-door policy is exactly why the Giants are failing

Maybe that's the fucking problem is that you have Eli Manning wandering into your office asking you where his lost Legos are. Maybe focus on football... Odell Beckham's just dancing through your front door and just not focusing on football here.

The Giants finished 3-13 and McAdoo was fired mid-season, suggesting his leadership approach was indeed a failure.

The Saints' running game is elite (and Buffalo's defense stinks)

In terms of rushing touchdowns, the Saints had a six-pack, or as they call it in Buffalo, an amuse-bouche... It was a bumpy, bumpy, red, infected day for the big Bills D.

The 2017 Saints finished 5th in rushing yards and 2nd in rushing touchdowns; Buffalo's defense struggled significantly that week.

Case Keenum is actually a pretty good quarterback

Case Keenum is pretty good. I'm feeling it... Vikings are kind of fly... Don't blink 182 now, but the Vikings are 7-2.

Keenum led the Vikings to the NFC Championship game that season, proving he was indeed playing at a high level in 2017.

Week 10 gave us clarity on who the actual good teams are in the NFL

I have one word for you for Week 10. You ready for it? Clarity. We actually know who's good now... it's basically the Vikings, the Rams, the Eagles [and] the Saints.

The four teams listed (Eagles, Vikings, Rams, Saints) all finished the season with 11+ wins and made the playoffs, with the Eagles winning the Super Bowl.

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.
