The NFL will overreact to this defensive week by trying to hire the next Aaron Donald or Khalil Mack

What's going to be so funny, by the way, is going to be the NFL overreacting to one week of really good defensive play... and now they'll be like, you need to go out there and get a defense like that. As opposed to the first 12 weeks when it's like, you've got to get the next Sean McVay... now it's going to be, well, you can just go get Aaron Donald or Khalil Mack. It'll be good.

The NFL is famously a copycat league, though the 'offensive guru' trend continued for years regardless of this specific week.

The Bears are now the class of the NFC

I think that we should [talk about the Bears] because they are now the class of the NFC. I'll just say it. Sean McVay can name every single player that picked him off tonight.

The Bears finished 12-4 but lost in the Wild Card round (Double Doink). The Saints and Rams were generally considered superior as they reached the NFC Championship.

Defense still wins games when the weather gets cold

I'm just going to say it, boys. Once the weather starts getting cold, defense does show up... I think defense still wins games.

A classic football debate. While defense is crucial, the 2018 season was still defined by offensive innovation, though the Super Bowl ended up being a 13-3 defensive struggle.

The Bears offense is a major worry for January

I will be honest—I have worries about the offense at times. That's all I'll say... Mitch [Trubisky] was coming back from an injury. I don't know if he's 100% healthy. The offense did not click the way that they'll need to click in January.

The Bears lost their first playoff game 16-15, with the offense scoring only one touchdown.

Garrett Bolles should catch a pass before he retires

I want to be able to bet on Garrett Bolles to have one reception in every game. Because I feel like Sean Payton is going to try to get him that touch. He definitely will because he doesn't want him to retire as the guy who never touched the ball.

It requires Garrett Bolles to record a touch before the end of his career; that has not been resolved here.

The Eagles' offense might be better without A.J. Brown

I actually think that the offense might be better without A.J. Brown.

Whether Philadelphia's offense performs better without A.J. Brown is a season-level comparative claim and is not reliably resolved here.

The Chargers should eliminate their kicking game and go for it every time

The Chargers should just not have a punter. They should not have a kicker. They shouldn't even have like a long snapper on the team. Use those positions on somebody else and you're just—burn the boats. You're just going for it all the time. Fuck it. Who cares? Right? Season's over. Might as well try to score some points.

This is a deliberately satirical roster-building proposal, not a prediction that can be objectively graded.
