The 49ers and Patriots will both just 'pound the rock' in a rock-off game

I feel like this is a double correction game. Where Shanahan fresh off his, 'oh shit, I did the Super Bowl thing again' [passing too much] is gonna pound the rock. And the Patriots are also gonna pound the rock at, it's gonna be a rock off.

The 49ers ran for 148 yards and won easily 30-13. The Patriots only managed 73 yards on the ground. Not quite a 'rock-off' as the 49ers also threw for 283 yards.

Al Michaels is at his best when he is visibly annoyed by the quality of football

When Al Michaels is at his best now is when he's annoyed with the quality of football. And he was so annoyed. He gets into surly old man mode very early on in the first half. He was just like, well this is awful. This is terrible, Kirk, get me outta here.

Subjective opinion on entertainment value.

I love when the US dominates international tournaments the rest of the world cares about more than we do

I love more than anything—I love it when the United States dominates tournaments that we don't give a fuck about. And the rest of the world cares deeply about it.

The US did go on to win the 2024 President's Cup 18.5 to 11.5, continuing their historical dominance.

The Saints are coming back down to earth and I like the Falcons to beat them

I do think I like the Falcons in this game... I think the Saints are banged up and are coming back down to Earth. So they're, they have centers out and [Erik McCoy] their right guard is out. And I just, I like the Falcons.

The Falcons beat the Saints 26-24 in Week 4, making Big Cat's prediction correct.

The Chiefs' window never closed

I don't think we ever actually closed the Chiefs' window. I think Mahomes was just in bed because he was injured, far away from the window.

The Chiefs' long-term contention status is ultimately subjective, though their dynasty remained active at the time of the episode.

Mahomes will be back to himself by season's end

By the end of this season, Mahomes is gonna be back to being Mahomes.

Whether Mahomes returned to his established level by the end of the 2026 NFL season had not yet been resolved.

The Oregon loss could turn Dan Lanning into a psychopath

I don't think that Dan Lanning has slept since that loss. I think Dan Lanning has turned into an absolute psycho because of this loss. He's sick. It actually might be a dangerous thing for the rest of the Big Ten that Oregon lost that game.

Whether the loss made Oregon more dangerous over the rest of the season is a future, testable team-performance claim.
