The NFL should have scheduled a league-wide bye week in the middle of the season to handle COVID-19 delays

Why didn't the NFL just schedule an extra week in the middle of the season to be like, okay, best-case scenario. Everyone just gets an extra bye week... worst-case scenario like that. What's happening every team that has missed a game can make it up in week 8.5?

The NFL did not add a league-wide mid-season bye, instead opting to shuffle individual team schedules and eventually adding a 'Week 18' buffer only if necessary (which they didn't use for regular season games that year).

Mike Zimmer made the correct decision to go for it on fourth down against the Seahawks

We 100% agreed together we watch the game and we said Mike Zimmer. This is a good move. Essentially we didn't even do it in a mass way. We said what do the Seahawks want the Vikings to do they? They want to kick they want the Vikings kick a field goal because they haven't stopped shit all night.

The Vikings failed to convert and lost the game, but the take is a subjective defense of strategy.

The Seahawks' bright green uniforms are the reason they can't stop the run

The Seattle Seahawks defense was they looked like a bunch of mall security guards wearing those like bright green like the guys in the parking lot... They didn't look like a professional defense... if you want a hard-hitting defense, they can stop the run those real [traditional] uniforms look sweet. No, if they go full color rush highlighter, I'm down for it. No, the two-tone is terrible.

Uniform color has no verifiable impact on a team's rush defense statistics.

The Seahawks defense is so bad that they cannot go deep in the playoffs

Russell Wilson is incredible and maybe when Jamal Adams is out there the Seahawks will look better. But from what I saw. I saw from the Seahawks and watching them. You know, I think we've watched every single one of their games and that defense doesn't get fixed. They can't they can't win a plate like they can't go deep in the playoffs.

The Seahawks finished 12-4 but lost in the Wild Card round to the Rams, essentially proving the 'no deep run' prediction correct.

The Bills could have three or four Super Bowls without kickers

You can make the argument that the Buffalo Bills would have like three or four Super Bowls if kickers weren't a thing in football. You can make the argument that the Patriots might not have had the start of that dynasty if it wasn't for kickers.

The claim is a counterfactual and cannot be definitively verified.

Jalen Hurts will answer the Titans by beating them as a passer

I actually think Jalen Hurts is good enough as a quarterback that when somebody dares him to do that, he could say, 'Fuck you, I will beat you as a quarterback.' And then stay in the pocket and throw for like 300 yards and three touchdowns.

Hurts' passing production against Tennessee will determine this prediction.

The Jaguars would be the second-best team in football if they win in Denver

If they win this game in Denver, I would put them maybe second in the power rankings behind the Jets.

The Jaguars' win and their resulting standing in PFT's power rankings are the relevant conditions; the ranking itself is subjective.
