Jaden Daniels will run all over the Buccaneers defense in the Wild Card round

I'm now back big time thinking that Jaden Daniels is gonna put on a crazy display where I'm talking. I think he's gonna run all over the bucks. Ooh, that's, and I know they have a good rush defense, but I think I know what Todd Bowles is gonna do. I think I'm one step ahead of Todd Bowles.

The Commanders lost to the Buccaneers 27-24 in the Wild Card round. Jaden Daniels had 12 rushes for 94 yards, which is a strong running performance but did not result in a win.

The Giants GM and coach will overspend in free agency to save their jobs in 2025

What is the GM gonna do? He's probably gonna spend as much money as he possibly can at in free agency... now you have the coach and GM in their Hot Seat years. Gonna just try to spend as much money as possible and hope that that keeps their job.

The Giants were aggressive in free agency, signing defensive backs and making trades. Brian Daboll was fired midseason after a 2-8 start, while GM Joe Schoen was retained. They did spend in free agency but the results were still bad (4-13 record).

The Giants will likely start a rookie quarterback early in the season to save their jobs

If they get Cam Ward or Shedeur or somebody like that and they wait around for four weeks into the regular season and he doesn't look great in practice, they're going to be more likely to be like, fuck it, let's just pull the emergency start rookie quarterback lever so that we can save our own job.

The Giants started rookie Jaxson Dart in Week 4, early in the season, after going 0-3 with Russell Wilson. Dart was drafted 25th overall and took over as the starter.

Mike McCarthy is a better head coaching hire than Ben Johnson because McCarthy is a proven winner

Mike McCarthy has at least proven himself as a head coach. There's been many examples of stud offensive coordinators not working on his head coaches. You have a better chance of doing [well] with Mike McCarthy than Ben Johnson. I'm not even joking about that. I'd rather take a proven winner.

This is subjective, but comparing a Super Bowl winner to an unproven coordinator is a standard football debate.

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.
