The 2024 NFL season is the most wide-open the league has ever been

Is this the most wide open the NFL's ever been? I can't... I'm thinking back to 2017 obviously. It was pretty wide open in 2017 too. [But this year] anything could happen.

Subjective league-wide assessment. The 'parity' of 2024 was a major media narrative.

I'm ready to start putting more respect on the Steelers and Vikings' names

The Steelers and Vikings. I'm ready to start putting a lot more respect on their name... Vikings 42 Falcons 21. This was the Sam Darnold Show... Why aren't we talking about the Vikings like the Eagles and the Lions?

Both teams finished with strong records (Vikings 12-5, Steelers 10-7) and made the playoffs, though neither reached the Super Bowl.

The Vikings should consider resigning Sam Darnold this offseason

Are we at the point where the Vikings should consider resigning Sam Darnold? Yes... You probably should. 'Cause JJ [McCarthy]'s probably good, but you don't know. But we know that Sam's good. Sam Darnold's also only 27 years old.

The Vikings should have 'considered' re-signing Darnold, and they likely did consider it. However, they ultimately let him walk in free agency (he signed with Seattle), choosing to go with JJ McCarthy. The suggestion was reasonable but the Vikings went a different direction.

It might be Michael Penix time for the Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons are, it just feels like it's all falling apart at the end here. And Michael Penix, it might be Penix time, it might be Penix time. So you drafted him. Why wouldn't you get him a little like... if your season's over, you might as well get Michael Penix in.

The Falcons stuck with Cousins for the remainder of the regular season, although Penix did see limited garbage-time action.

The Rams' Australia travel plan was an all-time 'fuck it' move

It was a terrible idea that Sean McVay tried to do, but I have to respect how much of an all-time fuck-it move it was to just pretend that time zones don't exist. He was just like, you know what, fuck it, we're not gonna adapt. We're gonna fly in, fly out.

The Rams lost the Australia opener after using the fly-in/fly-out approach, supporting the criticism in this game-specific judgment.

KOC will get the best out of Kyler Murray

I think that what he's gonna get the absolute best outta Kyler Murray that he possibly can at this point, which I think should be good enough to be a pretty good team this year.

Kyler Murray's 2026 season and Minnesota's performance will determine whether this forecast holds.

Jayden Daniels is going to remind everyone that the bad man is back

I think Jayden Daniels, he's as healthy as he has been since the start of last season. ... I think that he's gonna remind a lot of people who he is. Yeah. That's what I think. I think the bad man might be back.

Daniels' 2026 season will determine whether he re-established himself as an elite or feared quarterback.
