No NFL team has ever gone 0-3 then 8-0 and failed to win the Super Bowl

Has any team ever gone 0-3 and then 8-0 and then not won the Super Bowl? It's never happened. It's never happened before.

The 2018 Texans did exactly this (0-3 then 9-0) and lost in the Wild Card round to the Colts. They did not win the Super Bowl.

I don't think the Texans can win three playoff games to reach the Super Bowl

I don't think [the Texans] can win three playoff games, but I do think they can win two playoff games to then get to the Super Bowl. And then if they're in the Super Bowl, it's like... I don't even know what we do.

The Texans won the AFC South but lost in the Wild Card round to the Colts (1-1 in playoffs), so they did not win two or three games.

Cody Kessler is trash

I think Cody Kessler stinks. I think he's trash. He's absolutely trash.

Kessler's NFL career as a starter was very short-lived and unsuccessful; he was 2-10 as a starter overall.

Cody Kessler was brought in to make Blake Bortles nervous, not to make the team better

I don't think [Kessler] was there to make Blake Bortles better. I think he was brought in to make Blake Bortles nervous. And that's not a recipe for having a good football team.

While speculative, the Jaguars' benching of Bortles for Kessler did not result in improvement, and Bortles was released shortly after.

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.
