The Giants are a legitimately good football team, not a fluke

I know that the Giants are a legitimately good team. They're like a well coached team right now. They're not the most talented team, but I'm not even gonna have the discussion of whether they're like one of the worst four and one teams of all time because they're just a good four and one team.

The 2022 Giants finished 9-7-1 and won a playoff game, proving they were a legitimate threat.

Justin Tucker and Evan McPherson are the two best kickers in the NFL

Really what this game is, it's a battle between the two best kickers in the NFL. Justin Tucker and Evan McPherson just sort of like flexing at each other. They're doing almost ballet style poses after they drill a 60 yard field goal.

While subjective, both kickers were widely considered the elite tier of the league in 2022, with Tucker being an all-time great.

Brian Daboll is a fantastic head coach

Brian Daboll is a fucking awesome coach. I'm gonna say he is a Hoss, he's awesome. I like his entire coaching staff actually like Wink Martindale. No one thought the Giants were gonna be four and one.

The Giants went on to make the playoffs and win a road playoff game in Daboll's first year, validating this assessment.

Daniel Jones might play himself into a contract extension

The Giants are essentially saying Daniel Jones isn't the guy. So we're gonna just basically say we don't really care about his long term health. We'll run him all the time, but he might just be such a gamer that he just runs himself into a contract extension where he's like, Hey you basically said we'll waste his health to try to eek out a few wins and now he's just winning while injured.

Daniel Jones signed a 4-year, $160 million extension with the Giants following the 2022 season.

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.
