Takes

Mac Jones is the Grayson Allen of the NFL

Mac Jones is sort of gotten the, some people are calling them the Grayson Allen of the NFL... Because he's a tripper.

The Packers will win the Super Bowl this year

I'm worried, I think the Packers are actually going to win the Super Bowl this year... I'm saying that they have looked the best team in the NFL this year... The defense is Super Bowl level at this point.

The Packers are a lock to win the Super Bowl

The Packers are locked to win the Super Bowl. I win all my locks... I'm going to know better than one to know game of the year. It's a lock.

The Kansas City Chiefs are officially back

The Kansas City Chiefs are back officially... This was the first time I think this year that we can confidently say against a good team, the Chiefs offense looked like it was back.

Washington has a clear roadmap to the playoffs

I actually think that they've got a good chance to make the playoffs. I have a roadmap for the playoffs. Here's the roadmap... They beat the Panthers next week and then they win all their NFC East games, not including the Cowboys games... I think the football team could make the playoffs at that point.

Tom Brady finally looks old

The only reason I'm not going to say that the football team is like officially back, back, back, back back is I think Tom Brady looks old. He looked old today. He was mistaking and dunk and he was bad in the first half.

Antonio Brown is the most important player on the Buccaneers

I think officially we have to say it's Antonio Brown... The Bucs are five and O with Antonio Brown and they're one and three without him. He is the difference maker for Tom Brady and how he wants to run an offense and the security blanket and the guy he trusts the most.

The Tennessee Titans are officially the AFC South champions

I'm officially anointing the Tennessee Titans AFC South champions this year... We're actually the first to crown them division winners.

Bill Belichick is the NFL Coach of the Year right now

Is this Bill Belichick's best coaching job? It's coach of the year right now. Absolutely. Mac Jones looks awesome. Jones looked incredible.

The Chiefs are the only team I'm afraid of in the AFC

[Big Cat]: Who are you most afraid of in the AFC? [Hank]: I think the Chiefs. Like the AFC Championship game, Chiefs-Patriots would be intimidating.

Zach Wilson might actually be good because the rest of the Jets are the problem

That Zach Wilson actually might be good because Mike White is bad. So maybe it's not just Zach Wilson... The Jets are just like, you know, it might not be a quarterback problem. So we could have a quarterback in the future. They've identified the problem, which is the entire team.

The Cowboys are the most complete team and could win the Super Bowl

I think the Dallas Cowboys could win a Superbowl this year. They're the most complete team when they're playing well... That's not just offense... not just their defense... but also their special teams.

Jonathan Taylor is the best running back in the NFL

Jonathan Taylor. Yes. The best running back in the NFL right now.

I am officially nervous the Packers will win the Super Bowl

I'm officially, officially nervous that the Packers might have enough to actually win a Superbowl this year... Usually I can see something in the Packers where it's like, nah, they're fraudulent in some way... I'm officially worried because they're winning games in different ways.

The Vikings will make the playoffs

If I had to put my money on it right now I'm going to say it. Vikings will be in the playoffs.

The Dolphins will beat the Ravens outright on Thursday Night Football

I'm telling you right now, the Miami Dolphins are ready to play some football tonight. The Baltimore Ravens are in big trouble. Tua [Tagovailoa] is coming back. He's going to come back tonight. He's going to throw four touchdowns. The Miami Dolphins are going to win outright.

Lamar Jackson is taking the step to elite quarterbacking

[Lamar Jackson] was the first part of his career, the first three seasons of his career, 0-6, went down double digits in the second half. What is he, 4-0 this year? Coming back from down double digits, he can do it all. He is taking the step to, dare I say it, elite quarterbacking.

Russell Wilson is currently the number one quarterback in the NFL

Lamar [Jackson] is number two... My number one's Russell Wilson.

Cam Newton should move to tight end

I would like to see Cam [Newton] move to tight end. I still think that Cam would be an awesome tight end right now. He's big enough. He's strong enough still. He's fast enough to get the job done as a tight end.

The Rams are dangerously close to super-team status, which never works out

But now the Rams are dangerous. Well, they probably were already there, but they're dangerously close to the super team tag. And that never works out.

If the Chiefs lose this weekend, they are done as contenders

I think if the Chiefs lose, I'm taking the 'Dunn' chain out. I'm thinking about throwing it on the Chiefs... I'm done thinking the Chiefs are just going to flip the switch and become the Chiefs of two years ago.

The Patriots will win the Super Bowl if they beat the Browns convincingly

As I've said the whole season, last week was going to decide how I feel about the rest of the season. They won. I'm now in 'soupy' mode. So if they're going to go to the 'soupy', they've got to win this game [against the Browns] convincingly.

The NFL covered up Aaron Rodgers ignoring COVID protocols for ratings

I'm pretty sure that the NFL, according to their own rules, should have suspended Aaron Rodgers. Should have fined him. And they're covering up the fact that he just ignored all the protocols because he's Aaron Rodgers and the rules don't apply to him. And they're like, 'You know what? We could have Aaron Rodgers sit out for multiple weeks, but I really like ratings.'

Justin Fields is the real deal

I've never walked out of a game, out of a loss, happier because Justin Fields is the real deal. That's all I took away from that game.

Cassius Marsh is the funniest player in the NFL

That guy, he cracks me up. He's the funniest player in the NFL. He's not very good, but he stands out so much. He looks like Cole Beasley if he was a Ninja Turtle.

I think the Lions might beat the Bears on Thanksgiving

I still think they'll probably hand the lions their first loss of the season on thanksgiving day... you mean the lions are gonna beat the bears the lions are beat the bears yeah i was thinking about that when they were talking about the upcoming schedule for the bears and i feel like we're enough people are agreeing with that that we're starting to time the lions win again

Odell Beckham Jr. should just do pregame one-handed catch clinics like Red Panda instead of playing

Odell Beckham shouldn't be on a team. He should just do pregame and halftime performances like Red Panda, where he goes out there with a jugs machine and puts on a clinic of one-handed catches.

The Seahawks will beat the Packers 27-18

Seahawks-Packers and Green Bay is going to be called, let's say, 27-18... 27-18, Seahawks.

Odell Beckham Jr. will sign with the Seahawks

I think he's going to be a Seahawk, based on the way that DK answered those questions earlier when he was like, no, we're not claiming off waivers. That tells me that he knows that they're going to sign him as a free agent.

OBJ going to the Bucs would significantly increase their Super Bowl chances

What team would Odell go to that you actually think it increases their chance significantly to win a Super Bowl?... It would be the Bucs because... Antonio Brown, there's something up with him. Plot twist, Antonio Brown is unreliable this season.

The Tennessee Titans are for real, for real

I saw some people saying that the Rams stink, but I think that was more the Titans are for real, for real. And we've got to start taking them as such because no Derrick Henry. Their defense steps up. They can still play offense when they need to. I'm putting the Titans as for real, for real.

Cliff Kingsbury is a good coach

Hand up. I have to do a mea culpa. Cliff Kingsbury's a good coach. There it is. He's a good coach. Yeah, because that was an impressive win for them today with their two top wide receivers out and their quarterback out. And, like, they game planned better than the 49ers today.

Baker Mayfield and the Browns are significantly better without Odell Beckham

It is not a hot take to say that the Browns are just significantly better and Baker Mayfield is significantly better without Odell Beckham. ... Because he doesn't have to feel like he has to throw the ball to Odell Beckham, and if he misses Odell Beckham, Odell Beckham's dad's going to make a fucking mixtape with R.E.M. behind it.

Vikings fans are not allowed to say they are a couple plays away from being a good team

Vikings fans, you are not allowed to say we are a couple plays away from being a good team because at some point you are what you are, and the Vikings are just the team that can play teams close but can never win a game.

The narrative that Lamar Jackson can't lead comebacks is officially dead

We got to officially bury a narrative. Lamar Jackson is now the king of the comebacks this year. ... Previously in his career, he was 0-6, went down two scores in the second half. He's now had three games this year where he's brought the Ravens back down from double digits. That narrative's dead.

The Patriots might win the Super Bowl this year

What if the Patriots get to the Super Bowl? ... This year, my brother is getting married the week after the Super Bowl in California, so I'm going to be out in California. I'm thinking it's going to be just the biggest party week of all time. I'm going to win the soupy, I'm taking the next week off, and I'm just going to live the greatest life of all time.

The 49ers are officially a broken group of guys

I think the 49ers are officially a broken group of guys. If [Garoppolo] makes that pass, that one pass... That he overthrew Emmanuel Sanders. Everything changes.

Jordan Love is not ready for the NFL

Jordan Love... He wasn't ready. I don't think any amount of sitting is going to make him better at football. ... He's not ready, guys. I don't think you want to give him more time. ... Jordan Love stunk. He's so bad.

San Diego State punter Matt Araiza should be a first-round pick

Someone should draft [Matt Araiza] in the first round. ... If he can punt like this all the time, it actually is an incredible game changer. ... You think that if the Patriots took him... I think they should take him. That's the perfect end of first round draft pick.

Mike White secured a 10-year NFL career by having one great game and then getting immediately injured

When you're a backup quarterback in the NFL, the best thing you can do is have an awesome game and then immediately get injured and secure your like status as an NFL quarterback for 10 years. Mike White—I'll remember Mike White.

I am officially back in on Carson Wentz

I'm back in on Carson Wentz. How can you not be after this performance? I do have a question, though... Why are the Colts not sitting Carson Wentz in the second half of blowouts?

A team can have a winning culture while still losing games

Can you have a winning football culture without actually winning football games? Yes. I think you can. It's tough to pull off... There's that year where you can change the culture by losing close games. The Lions kind of had a little bit of that at the start of the year.

Aaron Rodgers should be in jail for life for lying about being immunized

Aaron Rodgers should be in jail. All those that agree say aye... I just have a very cut and dry take that Aaron Rodgers should be in jail for life. Regardless of what he's done... jail until the COVID pandemic is completely over.

Tom Brady killed the Chiefs dynasty before it even started

The Chiefs are so bad... Tom Brady killed the Chiefs. I think not enough people are talking about it. He ended their dynasty. It wasn't really a dynasty, though... He snuffed out, he traveled back in time, baby Hitler'd the Chiefs dynasty.

Patrick Mahomes is no longer capable of making a normal throw

I think they do it to keep Patrick Mahomes entertained because he's so good when he's just throwing the ball. But now it seems like he's become incapable of making a normal throw, where even the normal throws that he has, he does the different arm angles. He does the underhand. He does the left-handed stuff. Just play football, and you guys will be fine. I promise.

Travis Kelce is declining and it changes the Chiefs' entire team dynamic

Travis Kelce, just put in your tickler file. He still looks kind of the same, but he also is 32. And his numbers have not looked great the last few weeks. I don't think he's over the hill. But... Like, the Chiefs are predicated on Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce both being monsters. If he went from 100% Travis Kelce to 85% Travis Kelce, I think it changes the dynamic of their team. I think we're in the neighborhood of 90% Travis Kelce right now.

Mitch Trubisky would win too many games for the Washington Football Team

The football team, we don't need to win any more games. At this point, he [Trubisky] would win us too many games, and then we would not be able to draft another quarterback. So it's pretty depressing to think about where I am as a fan, that I was over the moon thinking about that possibility.

Sam Ehlinger will replace Carson Wentz as the Colts' starter

My hot seat is Carson Wentz. Brett Hundley was recently released from the Colts, and Sam Ehlinger was promoted to QB2... Who knows if Carson Wentz gets benched, Sam Ehlinger comes in.

The Cowboys are good enough to overcome an injury to anyone on the team except for Kellen Moore

I think what tonight proved is that the Cowboys are good enough to overcome an injury to anyone on the team, except for maybe Kellen Moore.

Mike White is the present, but Zach Wilson is still the future of the Jets

[Mike White] is the present. Zach Wilson is the future. What I think is going to happen is now they have more tape on Mike White... but I think today was a great example of what the jets could be consistently going forward with Mike White, with a competent quarterback at the helm.
