Brian Daboll's fourth-quarter punt against the Eagles was one of the saddest of the year

Brian Daboll elected to punt, down 21 points with 13 minutes left... He had one of the saddest punts of the year in the fourth quarter. Is he kind of a coward? What is happening here? Because everything he's done this year has been the right string and then he did that one thing and you're like, whoa, whoa, this is kind of fucked up.

The Surrender Index often tracks these, and punting while down three scores late is analytically poor, though the game was likely already lost.

The NFL Divisional Round was the 'Fly' episode of the season, setting up a legendary Championship Sunday

This was the fly episode of the NFL and next weekend we got Ozymandias and everybody's gonna die. The matchups that we have coming in next weekend and the storylines are gonna be awesome.

The Championship games (Bengals-Chiefs, 49ers-Eagles) were indeed highly anticipated, though the NFC game ended up being a blowout due to Purdy's injury.

Patrick Mahomes with only one working leg is still a top 15 NFL quarterback

I think [Patrick Mahomes] with a leg, one leg that doesn't work is still a top 15 quarterback in the NFL. Legitimately.

Mahomes won the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl while clearly still recovering from the injury, proving his elite level despite physical limitation.

Patrick Mahomes will play in the AFC Championship but will be physically diminished

I would say [Patrick Mahomes] is gonna play, but he's gonna be diminished. You're not gonna get full Mahomes. It's more just being as mobile as he is behind the line of scrimmage and keeping plays alive.

Mahomes played and won, and while his mobility was visually limited, he still threw for over 300 yards and 2 TDs in the AFC Championship.

The 4-1 loss to Belgium was the worst USMNT performance in years

That was the worst performance from the US that I've seen in years. Just completely lackluster from the start. So much blame to go around. Tim Ream, friend of the program, good guy over the hill, turned into soccer Shawn Bradley before our very eyes got dunked on twice.

Subjective opinion on the quality of the performance.

Christian Pulisic was a 'no-show' and looked like he didn't care against Belgium

Christian Pulisic, the long anointed Captain America future face of this league for American soccer. Absolute no show of a game, I would say worse than a no show of a game. And then he checks himself out. Just looks lackluster, looks like he doesn't care at all. Had the most turnovers on the field of anybody. That played just really, really, really bad.

Subjective evaluation of Pulisic's effort and performance.

The US will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer

People will never close the skill gap. USA will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer.

Historically, the US has struggled to produce technical talent on par with Brazil or Europe.
