Criticism of Justin Herbert never made sense

[Justin Herbert] touchdown pass that he threw as he was falling down. Oh that's the guy. When people are like, oh, Justin Herbert's only, you know, social media, quarterback, whatever. I don't even know what the criticism of Justin Herbert is anymore because it never made sense to me.

The assessment of criticism being nonsensical is subjective, but Herbert's elite talent is widely recognized.

The Buffalo Bills do not want to see the Cincinnati Bengals in the playoffs

The Buffalo Bills, if they get the two seed, the last team they wanna see is the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah. That's the only that like, you, you don't, 'cause that's the Bengals. The the crazy thing about the Bengals is they can't stop anyone. But if you get in a shootout with the Bengals, like anything can happen.

The Bengals eventually failed to make the playoffs in the 2024 season.

Indiana and Clemson are the two best upset bets in the first round of the CFP

Indiana and Clemson are the two horses I'm riding. I think the weather, I think the big, I think the weather, it's big 10 weather. It's tough to go against Penn State and Ohio State. I think Indiana's got a shot. And I think Clemson has a real shot because Indiana's Big 10. Notre Dame's not big.

Indiana lost to Notre Dame and Clemson lost to Texas in the first round of the CFP.

The Houston Texans' offense feels broken and they will lose early in the playoffs

The Texans I had, I had hoped for them this year to be maybe a Super Bowl contender. And they've instead just slotted into like the traditional AFC South team that will lose in the playoffs because I just don't think their offense feels broken.

The Texans' offense struggled down the stretch and they were indeed early exits in the postseason.

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.
