The NFL should keep the seventh playoff seed

To the people that are saying we should not have a seventh playoff seed: you're wrong. Fuck you. If we didn't have that last week, these matchups would have been better... speak as a team that's like, that's our ceiling really is this 7th seed. Just like you and the Bears last year, right? Like just getting to the playoffs, that's absolutely worth having that extra seat in there.

Opinion Football Medium

The 7th seed has remained in the NFL since this take, and in 2024, the 7th seed (Packers) defeated the 2nd seed (Cowboys).

The Eagles drafting Jalen Reagor before Justin Jefferson was a mistake and Reagor is a bust

Beer before liquor, you'll never be sicker; Jalen [Reagor] before Justin [Jefferson], you just drafted a busted.

Opinion Football Hot

Justin Jefferson became one of the best receivers in the NFL immediately, while Reagor struggled and was eventually traded away by the Eagles after just two seasons.

A seven-seed will eventually beat a two-seed in the NFL playoffs

Dummies, like you're just playing the results. One year a seven seed will get hot and they'll win. They'll beat the two seed and everyone will look like an idiot.

Prediction Football Medium

In the 2023-24 playoffs, the #7 Green Bay Packers defeated the #2 Dallas Cowboys 48-32.

The Steelers aren't in a bad position as a franchise despite Big Ben's retirement

If you look at the entire NFL, the Steelers are not in a bad, like, no, it wasn't Big Ben with it. His last ride was with all his guys... they have pieces on offense. They just need a quarterback and an offensive line.

Opinion Football Mild

Since Big Ben retired, the Steelers have remained competitive but have struggled significantly at the quarterback position (Pickett, Trubisky), largely proving the 'just need a QB' part right but also highlighting how hard that is to find.
