Takes

The Los Angeles Rams are the most trustworthy team in the NFL right now

If you force me to pick one, I'd probably say the Rams. Matthew Stafford is playing at an MVP level. The defense is young, it's outstanding. ... I clearly trust the Rams more than anybody. I think they've been the most consistent team so far.

This will be AJ Brown's last season with the Philadelphia Eagles

This is my gut feeling. I think this is AJ Brown's last season in Philadelphia. I think regardless of whether they win the championship or not, I think they're gonna move on from him. And Howie Roseman will continue to do what he's done masterfully, which is rebuild this team.

If the Chiefs lose to the Colts this Sunday, they will miss the playoffs

If the Chiefs lose to the Colts this Sunday, they're missing the playoffs. Period. Point blank. It's just math. ... This will be the first step into them basically kind of the dynasty crumbling because if they lose to the Colts, I'm telling you right now, you can book it. They're not making the playoffs.

The Commanders are one of the worst teams in the league

I think the Commanders are one of the worst teams in the league. We just lost to the Dolphins... the offense is trash, the defense is also very, very, very bad.

I am not worried about the Panthers catching the Bucs in the NFC South

I'm not worried about the Panthers... Somebody's gotta win the South. It's not exactly the most competitive division. So hopefully we can go ahead and lock that down.

The Bears have officially graduated to being a good team

I do officially think we've graduated to good. We're obviously not great, but we're good for right now. Seven and three. You can't deny that they just find ways to win games.

If the Bears beat the Steelers next week, not making the playoffs would be a total disaster

If we beat the Steelers next week, I will then officially declare if we don't get to the playoffs, it'll be a disaster. Winning next week will then have me be like, alright, now I'm thinking about, hey, we're gonna probably go to the playoffs.

Raheem Morris is on the hot seat after five straight losses

I think that I've been hesitant to say Raheem Morris is on the hot seat. He's on the hot seat now. This is five in a row that the Falcons have lost.

We are officially done with the Bengals for the 2025 season

Can we be done with the Bengals? ... They're not making the playoffs. Joe Burrow, don't rush back. We're done. I think Bengals fans would agree. We're done with the Bengals this year.

The Rams are a Super Bowl championship level team

I think the Rams are Super Bowl championship level team. 'Cause their defense is also elite... the Rams to me are the best team in the NFC right now.

Aaron Rodgers is not very good anymore

I don't think Rodgers is very good anymore. Aaron Rodgers has not been playing elite football. The offense does not look explosive at all.

The Broncos are better than the Chiefs right now

Bo Nicks outplayed Patrick Mahomes... The Broncos are better than the Chiefs right now. Like, that's just a fact. And they are a legitimate threat and a really, really fucking good team.

The Chiefs are still going to figure it out and win the Super Bowl

It's the Chiefs. They're gonna win the Super Bowl. Whenever you think they're down, that's when they come back. Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, the Chiefs, they are gonna figure it out.

The Eagles are the most easily bullied team in the NFL

The Eagles are the number one can-be-bullied team. It definitely felt like that... they are a tough watch right now, but it works.

Nick Sirianni is allowed to make questionable decisions because he is a winner

Nick Sirianni is the winningest coach in the NFL right now... I think that Nick Sirianni is allowed to make decisions and shouldn't be scrutinized for every single thing that he's done when he just keeps winning football games.

Justin Fields is not a viable starting quarterback in the NFL

Until you have [Justin Fields] on your team, you can't fully, in theory, he's got everything. But then you watch him and you're like, okay, there's something. It's just, it's just not there the way it needs to be for a starter in the NFL.

Josh McDaniels is a great offensive coordinator who will eventually get a third head coaching shot

I think Josh McDaniels, he needs more respect. I've been saying that he's, he is a great offensive coordinator and we definitely, we whiffed on Wednesday's show when we talk about retread head coaches... McDaniels is, he is that guy that got the second shot, he's gonna get another shot.

The Dolphins will eventually play well enough that Mike McDaniel keeps his job for next season

I do think that it's a possibility that they play well enough where Mike McDaniel's the coach going in next year.

Jacoby Brissett is currently a better quarterback than Kyler Murray

He [Jacoby Brissett] has looked a lot better than Kyler Murray's looked this season. That's not—that's not a mistake. He's better right now.

The Lions are frauds who only score points against terrible teams

Every—this, it's a Lions suck fest because they score a lot of points against shitty fucking teams... This is just what the Lions do every fucking year. They score a lot of points against shitty fucking teams and everyone thinks that they're the best.

Joe Flacco is a lock to win the double revenge game against the Steelers

We're gonna start Joe Flacco. Rare double revenge game. Baltimore and Joe Burrows in the building.

The Eagles defense is nasty and Jalen Phillips was the missing piece to make them elite again

I think the Eagles defense is nasty... Jalen Phillips was a monster and they feel like they're rounding into that type of form again.

Matthew Stafford will play for five or six more years

The way Matthew's playing right now, he's gonna keep going for another five, six years... Matthew's gonna be going another, I mean, as long as he wants to really.

The Commanders should not let Jayden Daniels play for the rest of the season

Under no circumstances should Jayden Daniels step foot on the field with this team this year. The defense is Yes, historically bad... I'm full on tanking. And, and there was a report last week that, that Jayden might come back after the buy. You should. I, I wanna be perfectly clear about this. Under no circumstances should Jayden Daniels step foot on the field.

Jonathan Taylor will win NFL MVP if the Colts finish with the best record in the league

If the Colts have the best record in the league and [Jonathan Taylor] has just an unreal season, yes. I I think he will get MVP.

The Kansas City Chiefs will miss the playoffs

Memes, did you say that maybe the Chiefs won't make the playoffs? I did. You wanna stand on that? Sure. Okay. Chiefs won't make the playoffs. Oh, you're saying the Chiefs won't make the playoffs. Whoa.

The Colts are the official AFC South champions

Let us be the first to say that the a FC South champs. Congratulations to the Colts. Congratulations.

The Panthers should never be favored in an NFL game ever again

We should just never, ever let the Panthers be favorites ever again... Probably makes anyone, never make 'em the favorite ever again.

The Patriots have an inflated record due to an easy schedule

Patriots look, they look cool. Patriots might have an inflated record due to their current schedule this season... I'm hearing around the league that your schedule might not have been the hardest.

The Patriots are a top-three team in the AFC

Where would you put them in terms of the best teams in the A, FC? One to three? One to three?

The Buffalo Bills are officially broken

The bills are the bills. Okay. Because they have now dropped three of their last five games... The bills are broken. It was one of those games.

Caleb Williams has the clutch gene

Caleb Williams has that clutch gene where they're down 10 with six minutes left. He goes on a 91 yard drive and then goes on a 53 yard drive both touchdowns. And it's like, yeah, he, when the, when the lights get bright and the back is against the wall, he comes up with big plays.

It is coaching malpractice for Brian Daboll to play Russell Wilson over Jameis Winston

The fact that [Brian Daboll] has Russ Wilson starting or coming in second off the bench instead of Jameis, is it's malpractice as a coach. I think that's actually a worse mistake than losing four consecutive games where you have a lead by 10 or more points.

Matthew Stafford is the NFL MVP right now

MVP right now, I'd say Matt Stafford is the M-V-P-M-V-P. He's playing like an MVP right now. He absolutely is.

The Los Angeles Rams are the best team in the NFC

After watching everyone play, I, I think the Rams might be the best. They're number one in the NFC. Yeah.

Bo Nix is essentially the new Tim Tebow

I'm a believer. But the bow [Nix] wins football games. This is why we've been saying that he is Tim Tebow. Did you, you give him all the credit in the world for this and it was, that was a dog shit football game.

Wind is less impactful on football games in Denver due to the high altitude

Did you know that at altitude mile high, the wind doesn't have as much of an effect because the air is so thin. So if it's blowing 20 miles an hour, 20 miles an hour in Denver is like 25 miles an hour down at sea level.

The Jaguars control their own destiny in the AFC South if they beat the Colts twice

The Jaguars actually control their own destiny. If they could somehow beat the Colts twice, they will win the a FC South. I don't, I don't, I don't think the Jaguars are better than the cults. I just want that on the record. No, I'm just saying if you're looking for value, the cults have a difficult schedule and the Jaguars have a easier schedule and they play twice.

Drake Maye's early success is inflated due to an easy schedule

Drake May's wins might be a little inflated. Do their easy schedule this year. Whoa... Hottest take, I guess hottest take about this game would be... definitely a may win.

I would draft a generational cornerback over a generational pass rusher

If I had an opportunity at, you know, like a generational pass rusher with nobody behind them or a generational corner with decent rushers up front. I'm taking the generational corner... you cannot manufacture coverage. You can manufacture pass rush.

Caleb Williams is the most talented quarterback in the NFC North

I, I don't think it's unreasonable to say [Caleb Williams] is the most talented quarterback in the division... he's got a different kind of talent like the extension of plays, the throwing off tar off platform. Like that's big in today's NFL.

The Jets fleeced the Cowboys in the Quinnen Williams trade

You gotta haul. I would even say memes, I dare say fleeced. I think you fleeced the Cowboys.

Jerry Jones is the biggest loser of the NFL trade deadline

Jerry Jones is the big loser in all of this because he traded for a guy [Quinnen Williams] in on a season that things aren't going well. And then also watched Micah Parsons... it feels like Jerry Jones should have gotten more from Micah Parsons is my big point.

Kyler Murray will be a great quarterback on a different team in three years

I think in like three years, Kyler Murray will be a very good quarterback on a different team... picture this Kyler Murray on the Saints.

The Green Bay Packers are a dangerous team because they are 'desperate' off a bad loss

If you're playing the Packers next, you gotta watch out because he's [LaFleur] gonna fix this and they're gonna come out with their hair on fire... You don't want to play the Packers against the Packers off a loss.

The Bears' culture has shifted under Ben Johnson; they finally win games they used to lose

The Bears never win that game. And they, something is different with Ben Johnson. ... more than anything it's Ben Johnson because that's a game The Bears would lose. The Bears would quit in a, in a dire situation. And they just kept on, they got, got off the mat. ... it really just comes down to like, the culture has shifted with Ben Johnson where the, the team looks like they're not gonna give up in situations where they would've given up in the past.

The Patriots are going to make a trade for a running back like Alvin Kamara or Miles Garrett

Matthew Stafford will win the NFL MVP this season

Matthew Stafford. MVP. Hmm. Just think about it. ... Plus 550. I, that's an interesting one. He's, he's never won an MVP. You could get the narrative going about him never winning an MVP and being a Hall of Fame quarterback. ... Matthew Stafford going back to Georgia to win the MVP. That's a big storyline.
