Sam Howell is good enough to win 10 games this season

I think Sam Howell is good enough to win 10 games this season. Yeah. I, with the rest of that defense. I think the Commanders are a, you know, you could make the argument... they're for real.

The Commanders finished the season 4-13 and Sam Howell was eventually benched.

I would rather be the New England Patriots than the New York Jets right now

Would you rather be in the position of the New England Patriots right now as an organization, as a franchise or the New York Jets? [I say] Patriots. Why is that? Go on. Expound better organizational structure in general, but in terms of right direction. Wrong direction.

This is subjective, but given the Jets' subsequent struggles in 2023 and the Patriots' own spiral leading to Belichick's exit, neither was a 'good' choice, though the Patriots at least didn't have the Rodgers drama immediately.

The Ravens are one of the best teams in the entire league right now

The Ravens are one of the best teams in the entire league right now. So I I'm very much looking forward to seeing how they operate with an awesome passing offense.

The Ravens finished 13-4 and earned the #1 seed in the AFC, confirming they were indeed one of the league's best teams.

Dan Campbell needs to be consistently aggressive instead of shriveling at the end of games

What the fuck was [Dan Campbell] doing at the end of the game when the Lions had the ball at the 50 with all three timeouts down three. And they basically were like, let's play for overtime. That didn't make any sense at all. If you're gonna be aggressive, be aggressive all the time. It's so frustrating when he doesn't do it at the end, when it probably makes the most sense to be aggressive.

This is a tactical critique of a specific game situation, which remains a valid point of debate in NFL coaching strategy.

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.
