Wide receivers wearing single-digit jersey numbers is wrong

Julio Jones, he's wearing number two in Tennessee. I'm still not comfortable on a personal level with wide receivers wearing single digits. It's going to fuck my brain up... Number two is a bad kicker or a slow quarterback.

Subjective aesthetic opinion.

Marc Trestman's start to his NFL coaching career was statistically better than Matt Nagy's

Through 23 games and their NFL career one coach has 7,472 yards of offense the Has 7,887 yards of offense... Congrats? You took Marc Trestman. One was Matt Nagy and the other was Marc Trestman. That's interesting.

Statistical comparison of the two coaches over their first 23 games shows Trestman had significantly higher offensive yardage and scoring totals.

The 'Seven-Year Bump' for NFL quarterbacks is real

Somebody actually put the stats together out there... they found out that nineteen out of twenty two quarterbacks entering year 7 had a better touchdown per attempt percentage... everyone except for Jay Cutler had a better completion percentage... Basically the seven-year bump is real.

While statistical trends can be found for certain cohorts, 'the seven-year bump' is more of a show-specific narrative than a universally accepted football principle.

Winning Super Bowl 53 means Rob Gronkowski has three rings because of rounding rules

If Gronk had lost that Super Bowl, he'd still have one Super Bowl ring, but winning that Super Bowl means he has three... if you weigh 250 pounds, you can say, I'm pretty much 300 pounds... everybody would be like, yeah, you definitely look like you weigh 300 pounds.

OpinionFootballHotSarcastic
Gronkowski literally had 3 Super Bowl rings after this game (SB 49, 51, 53), though the math used to get there is fictional.

Von Miller is so fast that you have to make a 'business decision' to avoid him

Newton's first law is when Von Miller is diving at you, make a business decision. I actually fully buy in on the Al Davis, let's just get all the fastest guys... speed kills.

Subjective description of a player's skill.

The boat picture officially jinxed the New York Giants franchise

The Giants are 1-9 and have been outscored by 113 points since the famous boat picture... Even Cam Newton knew you had to get on board the Titanic... I am fully on board with the theory that the boat totally jinxed the entire franchise for the Giants.

The Giants had one of the worst records in the NFL for the five years following that picture, effectively ending their decade of competitiveness.

Andrew Luck is the NFL's version of Derrick Rose

Andrew Luck, by the way, is now... He's, like, almost, he's not Derrick Rose, but, like, there's that semblance of, like, he could just have a random surgery at any moment without an injury happening

Luck would ultimately retire early in 2019 due to the cycle of injuries, making this comparison quite prescient.

White cleats scientifically make you faster

Scientifically, white cleats do make you faster. That's actually just science. You just look a lot faster. You feel a lot faster. Look good, play good.

There is no physical scientific evidence for this, though there is a psychological 'look good, play good' factor.

The worse Bill Belichick looks, the better the Patriots play

The more I actually review these outfits, it's just the worse he looks, the better they play. It actually makes sense. He's the opposite of look good, play good.

Statistically true according to the 'Pat's Propaganda' data cited in the episode (Belichick had a much higher win percentage in cut-off hoodies than suits or jackets).

Jacksonville cannot beat teams that are named after big cats

Jacksonville has lost seven straight games to teams that are named after big cats, just like the Jaguars. So it's one of those situations where Superman can beat anybody, but he can't beat Kryptonite because he's from Kryptonite.

At the time, the Jaguars had a long losing streak against fellow feline-mascot teams.
