Bill Belichick vs. Anthony Lynn is the biggest coaching brain mismatch of the NFL season

It's the biggest coaching brain mismatch of the year so far, without a doubt. And this is a guy [Belichick] that coaches against Adam Gase twice. Anthony Lynn is a dumber version of Adam Gase. I think he's a better leader. But I think in terms of a strictly football sense, he's like a second grader compared to Adam Gase.

Opinion Football Hot

The Patriots beat the Chargers 45-0 in this game, featuring a masterclass in special teams and defensive scheme that made Lynn look completely lost.

The Steelers are the worst 11-0 team of all time

Yeah, I think it's fair to say the Steelers are the worst 11-0 team of all time.

Hot Take Football Hot

While subjective, the 2020 Steelers are frequently cited as the worst 11-0 team ever given their late-season collapse and first-round playoff exit.

The Steelers should try to lose to the Washington Football Team to reset their season for a 'revenge tour'

I actually think that they should try to lose a game just so that everyone can be down on them and then they can come back and be like, fuck you, revenge tour in the playoffs. They should probably lose this game against the Washington football team.

Opinion Football Hot

The Steelers did lose to Washington, but they did not have a 'revenge tour'; they collapsed, losing 4 of their last 5 and getting bounced in the first round.

If Big Ben Roethlisberger is benched for rest in Week 17, he won't be mentally ready for the playoffs

I do think that if they were to bench Ben Roethlisberger and some of their other starters later on in the season, like week 17, I don't think that Big Ben comes back ready for the [playoffs]. I think he will believe that he is benched because he's injured in that one week off. And then that's going to mess with him mentally.

Opinion Football Medium

Roethlisberger did rest in Week 17 and then threw 4 interceptions in a Wild Card loss to the Browns, arguably proving the 'not ready' part of the take.
