Takes

The Bears should fire Matt Eberflus immediately after a Thanksgiving loss

They should fire him after we get embarrassed by the Lions. Because at this point I know the Bears have never fired a coach in a hundred years history in Midseason at this point. You should honestly tell Caleb like, Hey we fucked up with Shane Waldron and Matt Eberflus our bad. We're firing him right now.

The Lions are the best team in the NFL in every category

I think the Lions... I think they're the best at everything. I really do. I think that they're, they have maybe the best running attack in the NFC... the Lions are better than the Eagles at almost everything.

The Patriots are the team nobody wants to play in the AFC East

I think so. Usually the, you know, with the Patriots, it's like all the trends reversing the Dolphins have always been like the boogeyman even when the, when Brady was there and the Patriots are good. This is the trend weekend reverse in our favor.

The Giants are starting Tommy DeVito because they are trying to tank

I think they're trying to lose. I think they're trying to lose and try to tank for a quarterback. Yeah. Which would make sense.

The Cardinals are for real

I'm ready to fully believe in the Cardinals. I might crown their asses. I just know the Cardinals feel like a very sound football team through and through off the bye week. Their eyes are there. They have the NFC West. If they could string together some more wins, especially in the division, they're undefeated in the division right now.

The Ravens' offense is unstoppable

I think the Ravens I believe are gonna be there no matter what because their offense feels unstoppable.

Shane Waldron was the primary issue behind the Bears' struggles

Shane Waldron is the Antichrist. Shane Waldron caused all the problems. Shane Waldron, every war tragedy, anything you can think of in history. Shane Waldron was the issue behind it... The only way I can tell myself that the Bears have a chance is that Shane Waldron was deliberately holding the Bears back in every capacity and now everything's gonna be different.

The Bears' organization has ruined Caleb Williams

The organization's a fucking joke... None of it makes sense. Everything sucks. The organization is a joke. They've ruined Caleb Williams.

Caleb Williams just needs a comfortable system and he will still be a good quarterback

Caleb Williams is still a good quarterback. He just needs to get in a comfortable system. He needs to not be like surrounded by a hurricane of shit... Don't make him feel like he's got too big a part of that failure right off the bat. Give him easy shit to do.

The Jets' defense does not travel well

Defense doesn't travel... We got smoked by the Cardinals. Graveyard teams.

The Falcons are the perfect team to lose in Wild Card weekend

I think the Falcons, they're the perfect team that you would put into the slot of losing a Wild Card weekend playoff game.

Villanova head coach Kyle Neptune is a worse coach than Nick Sirianni

I will not say a bad word about Nick Sirianni for the rest of the year... You don't have to watch Kyle Neptune coach basketball. [He is worse than Sirianni] without question. They lose to everyone. He has more... seven [losses to teams above 100 on KenPom] to two for four times as many years.

I officially apologize for hating on the Buccaneers

I've retracted my take. I've done some soul searching about the Bucks. I apologize for saying the Bucks aren't very good. It is a hundred percent Chaps bias. I sat with Chaps for an entire game watching him and it just—it sits with you and it really eats away at you.

The Packers' all-white 'Winter Warning' uniforms are a disgusting affront to football

The Packers going with the all-white uniforms and all-white helmets are a disgusting affront to football color rush. It's a disgusting front. The Green Bay Packers—and I hate them—their football jerseys and color scheme are football. They should never do any type of gimmicky alternate bullshit. If you're a Packers fan, you should be disgusted by this.

The Vikings are the best team in the NFL

The Vikings are the best team in the NFL... Sam Darnold potential revenge game. Even though we already had it one time. But it's a bounce back. There won't be any rain.

Justin Jefferson is the best wide receiver in the league and it's not close

Justin Jefferson is the best wide receiver in the league and it's not close. I agree. I know that not close is a stupid thing to say. He has scored in every single game this year. He's so goddamn good that it's, to me it's not close right now.

The Dolphins should start tanking for the #1 overall pick

The only team that I could say confidently that should tank as of right now is Miami Dolphins. Yeah. I think that's the only team I would say you should tank. 'cause you're gonna need a sit... because Tua, you can't, you can't say that he's gonna go through a whole season.

You should never have a quarterback wearing number 19

Skylar Thompson wearing number 19 is terrible. That's a bad quarterback name number. It's Johnny Unitas and nothing else. You can't, yeah. Number 19... it's a just warning sign that this is a very backup quarterback.

Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick have beef

I think there might be beef there between Belichick and Kraft. Do you think so? I I mean I'm What would, listen, I wasn't able to make a, a definitive statement on it until I figured out who he followed. Yeah. [Belichick] follows 12 people... No Patriots, no craft.

Jalen Hurts is definitely a good NFL quarterback

Everyone knows that Jalen Hurts is good quarterback. Is he? Yeah. Jalen Hurts is the guy.

JJ McCarthy is my 5th ranked QB because he's a game-managing system quarterback

JJ McCarthy... is the bottom... He doesn't throw, he didn't see any long balls or all the long balls are wide open. Short throw. Short throws... he's seen the, he, he was a game manager. System quarterback.

Drake Maye looks short on film and the ball looks heavy in his hands

Drake Maye... This was the biggest, the biggest deterrent and, and the thing that I see happening the most, the ball seems very heavy in his hands... It just seems like it takes him a long time to get the ball up and out... [He] looked short in the film that I was watching.

UConn only needs to play a 'C-minus' game to beat most teams

UConn is just a kind of a, there's levels and they're just at a different level right now if they come out and play. Like UConn would have to play what a c minus game to give Alabama a chance. Like if I think of, if UConn plays a B game, they beat everyone.

Deebo Samuel is a bigger factor for the 49ers than the weather or Brock Purdy's skill set

That is way more significant than the rain and how Brock Purdy looked is losing Deebo Samuel. If he's not playing, the Lions are as live as live could be. He's that much of a game changer.

Baker Mayfield should win NFL Comeback Player of the Year

He [Baker Mayfield] should win Comeback Player of the Year. Joe Flacco. I no disrespect to DeMar Hamlin, but why is he winning? He should not win Comeback Player of the Year.

DeMar Hamlin should not win NFL Comeback Player of the Year

I'll be the brave one and say, this guy shouldn't win the award... It is just a fact. He shouldn't win the award.

Antonio Pierce has earned the full-time head coaching job for the Raiders

I do think that Antonio Pierce has, has coached his way into being the full-time head coach. Agree. If they really wanna win this game, Mark Davis should announce before the game starts. Like you're giving away a scholarship like this, this Walk-on now has earned his position.

There isn't a single team in the NFL right now that can be fully trusted

I don't think there's a team you can trust right now in the NFL. You go down the list... I don't think there's one team that you can, you could say like, put my life on the line. They win this game.

Russell Wilson played himself out of a Hall of Fame career

We'll always have the danger witch. Yeah, he, he definitely played himself out of a hall of Fame career. Right. I don't know that, that's gonna be a tough one... Russell, Wilson is nowhere near top 10 now.

Aaron Rodgers' injury is the most human thing ever, not a superhuman recovery

Aaron Rogers is not even human. I'd actually say missing the entire season because you got injured is the most human thing ever. Well, was he injured scenes? That was, I mean, he's literally showing that he's human. The fact that he hasn't been playing.

The report that the Patriots have decided to fire Bill Belichick is 'fake news'

As a Patriots fan on this podcast, I'm just gonna say that that seems like fake news to me. Seems like a fake news media report from Tom Curran. You know, the media's been out to get us since 2000... Belichick didn't do anything wrong... there's no chance. 0% chance. I don't think Belichick would leave.

The NFL wants the Chiefs to play on Wild Card weekend to maximize ratings from Taylor Swift fans

I think if the NFL wanted anything, they should want the Chiefs not to get the bye. 'cause that's one extra game of ratings for the Swifties Super Wild Card weekend.

Dolphins fans are insufferable and it would be funny to see them lose the AFC East

Dolphins fans are annoyingly cocky and Bills fans... I feel more of a connection to... Dolphins fans are insufferable. Like they're super annoying. They're super cocky. They haven't won shit. And seeing them blow a season and somehow lose the AFC East would be funny.

Baker Mayfield was the best thing to ever happen to the Cleveland Browns.

Do you think people are coming around to the take that Baker Mayfield was the best thing that's ever happened to the Browns and they should never have let him go?

Josh Dobbs is the ultimate 'fix-it' quarterback for struggling NFL teams.

There are so many teams right now being like Josh Dobbs could fix all of our problems. If the Jets had Josh Dobbs, they would be a playoff team... he basically is the guy that everyone looks to and is like, he could solve everything.

The Miami Dolphins are officially off the NFL 'Fraud List'.

I think I'm ready to take Miami off the fraud list. They won't do it this week, but I'm gearing up for them to be off the fraud list because I'm thinking that their defense is gonna start playing really well... I'm ready to push the button and say no longer fraud.

The Bears are no longer one of the 'truly terrible' teams in the NFL.

The bears are not as bad as people think they are. They are. They're [not] the worst teams in the league... which are the Panthers, the giants, maybe the Patriots, the Cardinals... I think the Bears are a step above that. They get lumped in there. They've actually been playing really good defense.

Bet on any team playing the Bears to win their division

I've told everyone, If, you want to If you like the Saints this week. Which you should. 'cause they'll beat the Bears. Bet 'em to win the, the, the division. Now's the time. It's a free win bet. Every team who play, every team who plays the Bears just bet that team to win the division. 'cause you know, you'll get at least better odds once they beat the Bears.

Arthur Smith is a sneaky genius for limiting Bijan Robinson's touches to keep him fresh

Could Arthur Smith be a sneaky genius? Could he be saying we just spent a lot of money on this first round pick running back. Don't put too many miles on him early in the season. Bijan is gonna look that much faster late in the year.

Trent Williams is the most important player on the 49ers offense

I think Trent Williams is [the most important player on the offense] for sure. Christian McCaffrey at 85% without Deebo Samuel and without Trent Williams... things look different.

Jared Goff is a top-five quarterback this season

I think Jared Goff has been playing... I think he's a top five quarterback in terms of this season.

Benching Desmond Ridder would mean the Falcons are giving up on the season

I think if you benched Desmond Ridder right now, it's, you're done, you're done over him... You're giving up.

The NFL London games have lost their allure and are now a burden

I'm kind of sick of the London game. I like the early football. I'm sick of the fact that they have made something that was unique and different into just every week. This is the third week in a row. They're just changing the schedule on us. Now it doesn't feel cool and unique, it just feels like a burden.

I am officially back in on Justin Fields as the guy for the Bears

The Bears might be back if they win this game. And I am all the way back into Justin Fields. I liken it to a relationship where, listen, Justin Fields threw some interceptions, I said some things... but at the end of the day, don't go to bed angry. So I'm no longer going to bed angry. He's the guy again.

David Tepper is a meddling owner who is hurting the Panthers

[David Tepper] basically in those two quotes was like, 'Yeah, this guy is putting his nose where it shouldn't be and micromanaging a football team.' And that's not how a successful organization runs. You can't have the owner forcing the coach to have a meeting multiple times a week. He sounds like a miserable person to work for.

Brock Purdy is an MVP candidate

Should we be talking about Brock Purdy MVP Watch? If you look at his stats right now, Brock Purdy has MVP level stats right now. That's all I'm saying. He's the number one quarterback in the entire NFL in yards per attempt.

The Broncos' offensive success is a result of playing terrible defenses

Is there a chance that Russell Wilson, he's looked better, but he has not played a good defense? ...he played the Raiders, bad defense. Commanders, bad defense. Dolphins, bad defense. And then last week they played the Bears, the worst defense. So is there a chance that we see bad Russ here against the Jets defense?

Defense wins championships

Defense wins championships. I'll go to my grave thinking that. The Bucs defense smothered Patrick Mahomes [in the Super Bowl]. That was completely a defensive effort. The Patriots' last Super Bowl was a defensive effort when they stopped the Rams.

I want Jim Harbaugh to coach the Bears and draft Caleb Williams

I want Caleb Williams. I have said the names Caleb Williams and Jim Harbaugh probably a hundred times in the last four days. I want to bring back man football. Let Jim Harbaugh just stuff all the dorks in Halas Hall into a locker and just go back to being a man football team.

You can't appreciate a lighthouse if you don't go out to sea

It's good to get away from the lighthouse. It makes it that much better when you see it on the way back. You know, as any sailor knows, you can't appreciate a lighthouse if you don't go out to sea.
