The NFL has a 'super team' problem because the last two winners were built this way

I want to get ahead of the take because someone's about to drop this one. Does the NFL have a super team problem? Cause the last two super bowls were ruined by super teams.

The 'super team' trend in the NFL (Rams, Bucs) didn't actually persist as strongly in the following years with the Chiefs and Eagles winning/appearing.

Cooper Kupp just had one of the greatest wide receiver seasons of all time

I would say off the top of my head, [Cooper Kupp] is up there now with greatest wide receiver seasons of all time. In terms of his regular season and then what he did in the playoffs and what he did on that fourth quarter when it was pretty much they can't run the ball... the whole world knew it was going to Cooper Kupp and you still couldn't stop Cooper Kupp.

Kupp won the Triple Crown, Offensive Player of the Year, and Super Bowl MVP in the same season, statistically confirming it as one of the best WR seasons ever.

Eli Apple is the most disliked player in the NFL

Do you think that there's a more disliked player in the NFL than Eli Apple? Cause they picked on him and it was like every single player that was watching the game, current players, were just roasting the fuck out of him. Like he was getting just dragged by guys that are like the third wide out on some of the worst teams.

While 'most disliked' is subjective, the social media vitriol from peers (Mecole Hardman, etc.) at the time was unprecedented for a non-star.

The Rams were definitively the best team in the NFL this season

I'm walking away from this season not being like, oh man, it feels like the best team didn't win. All the Rams were the best team. They kicked the shit out of the Cardinals, they slayed the dragon in Tampa Bay and made Tom Brady retire, they then beat the boogeyman and Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers, and then they beat the Bengals. The Rams are a very good team.

They won the Super Bowl after a dominant playoff run, making them the de facto best team of the season.

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.
