The 2018 Super Bowl will be the Texans vs the Bears

I see a Super Bowl between the Texans and the Bears. And that would be great content... if you lose and you're a Bears fan and you have to cut your pinky off, it's not that big of an add-on to the crushing defeat.

The Texans lost in the Wild Card round to the Colts, and the Bears lost in the Wild Card round to the Eagles (Double Doink game). Super Bowl LIII featured the Patriots and Rams.

The New Orleans Saints are clearly the best team in football right now

The Saints are clearly, in my mind, the best team in football right now. Drew Brees is insane... 21 touchdowns, one interception, 77% completion percentage. The punter for the Saints... he's punted eight times in the last six games. That's insane.

The Saints finished 13-3 with the #1 seed in the NFC and were widely considered the best team at this point in the season.

The Philadelphia Eagles are officially 'done'

The Eagles, I mean, I don't want to jump ahead here, but they're done. They're dead. We're doing done chain on the Eagles. Can we strip them of the Super Bowl championship... because they have not defended it well.

The Eagles actually rallied to finish 9-7, made the playoffs, and won a wildcard game (the Double Doink game) before losing narrowly to the Saints in the Divisional round. They were not 'done'.

Colt McCoy is a gamer who can tread water but won't win a big drive

Colt McCoy is the type of – he's a gamer. He's going to win you a lot of games like – 21-17, and then when you get to a big moment and you need a big drive, he's not that guy anymore.

McCoy went 0-3 as a starter in 2018 before getting injured himself. He did not lead any significant winning drives.

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.
