Mike Tomlin will find his way to nine wins

Whatever you wanna say about [Tomlin], he will find his way to nine wins. He's gonna find his way to nine wins. They had to win this game to find his way to nine wins... the Mike Tomlin path is set.

The Bills are worth betting at 35-1 to win the Super Bowl

If you like the Bills to beat the Chiefs, take 'em 35 to one to win the Super Bowl because the AFC is wide open. And it's not saying that the Bills aren't, it's not saying the Bills are some world beating team. It's that the rest of the pack has come back to the Bills.

You have to wait 50 years before you can start feeling bad for a rival fan base's misery

I think 50 years is the right amount [to not feel bad for a rival]. I think probably for [the Cowboys] not making the playoffs, I would start to feel bad for Cowboys fans after 50 years. That's the right amount.

I will match Big Cat's offer of Super Bowl tickets for Lions fans

Max, thank you. Huge for you, Max. You wanna match? I'll match. I'm matching for this year. Not saying like extending it to Infinity. This season. This season we're gonna... I'm not saying extending it to infinity... I'm matching for this year.

I'm starting to think that the Browns might go to the Super Bowl

Joe Flacco and Amari Cooper... that was incredible. I'm starting to think that the Browns might go to the Super Bowl. Browns-Lions. If he's throwing the ball like that, you can win a Super Bowl if your defense continues to be like the best in the league by far.

Joe Flacco is a better option for the Browns than Deshaun Watson

If he's healthy as he is right now, [Flacco] is without a doubt, a better option for your team than Deshaun Watson.

The Falcons would be winning the NFC South if Taylor Heineke had been starting all year

The Seahawks will get the number seven seed in the NFC

Seahawks stay alive... the Seahawks are officially alive. It feels like they actually might be the team that gets in that seven spot, which we've been talking about forever. That seven spot in the NFC because the Vikings and the Packers have both died.

Mike Evans is a first-ballot Hall of Famer

Mike Evans is a first ballot hall of famer... If he plays for five more years... he would be in the list with Jerry Rice, Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss, and T.O. ... He will go down as one of the best receivers of all time.

Justin Herbert to the Bears for the #1 pick is the best possible trade

Justin Herbert for the number one pick would be the greatest thing in my life... You know that owner cares about getting fans in that stadium. If they can draft Caleb Williams... and then give the Bears Justin Herbert... I would do that in a second.

The NFL should require the player who scores the touchdown to kick the extra point

I've always said that the player that scores the touchdown should have to kick the extra point. How awesome would that be?

The Dolphins and Cowboys are both frauds

The Cowboys are frauds. Frauds, but the Dolphins are also frauds because all they prove that they is that they can beat a fraud... we didn't learn anything from this game whatsoever.

The Cowboys win that game if they have Ezekiel Elliott

The Cowboys, it's funny how the narratives work... if they have Zeke Elliott, I think they win that game. They have struggled in the red zone all year, and Tony Pollard around the goal line has been a disaster.

Bill Belichick will beat the Jets one last time then leave for the Commanders

If Belichick is going to the Commanders, Belichick will figure out a way to beat the New York Jets one last time... and then give the Patriots a worst pick, give his potential new team a better pick. That's my fanfiction world.

Taylor Swift ruined Santa Claus for thousands of children

There was one play that saved the season. It was after the pick six. They go to third and 20. That was the third and 20 to A.J. Brown was the play that saved the season. Because if they don't pick that up, they're fucked.

I predict the Giants will bring Tommy DeVito back next year

I don't think we've seen the last of Tommy DeVito. I think he was too much fun to the point where I feel like the Giants will bring him back next year as far as the backup goes. He had a few good games.

The Ravens and the Browns are the only two teams in the NFL that play defense on a different level

I did have the Ravens today and it's really just, I think the Ravens and the Browns are the two teams that play defense on a different level. When you have to play a defense that good, things don't come as easy.

NFL MVP is stupid because it's decided in the last three weeks

This is why the MVP in the NFL is so stupid... it feels like it is decided in the last three weeks of the season every year. It's whoever has a big primetime game at the end of the year.

But besides that, no heavy drinking whatsoever.

I'm gonna say this, the Rams, I think they're officially dangerous. That's what they are. They're dangerous. Matt Stafford playing great ball.

Matt Stafford is a Hall of Famer

Matt Stafford is a hall of Famer and watching him play football is fun. Like his, the the throws he makes And, it, it's, it doesn't feel like it's gratuitous. It's like it's making some of these throws. 'cause he has to make these throws.

A playoff matchup between Matt Stafford and the Detroit Lions would be the meanest thing to ever happen to that franchise

Matt Stafford going to Detroit Lions first home playoff game. Man, that would be brutal. ... That's not fun for anybody. ... That would be the meanest, meanest thing to happen to the Lions. Like of all the things that would be the meanest thing. I don't want that to happen.

The Matthew Stafford for Jared Goff trade was a win for both the Rams and the Lions

No, [Stafford] is, I think he's always just had that same arm. That arm never goes away. It's just a matter of putting pieces around him and the, and the Rams have done, I'd say, you know what, I think both teams won that trade.

Dennis Allen might be the worst coach of all time

We also need to talk about the fact that Dennis Allen might be the worst coach of all time. And that's not being facetious. That's not being like hyperbolic. That is, if you look at the stats, I think he is somewhere around the seventh to 10th worst coach record wise.

The Steelers will beat the Bengals in Week 16 because of their culture

This feels like to me and also no Jamar Chase for the Bengals and DJ reader, which will be very important in my opinion. This feels like the Mike Tomlin Steelers era is on the line. This is for the culture because it's, it's an underdog game at home. No one thinks the Steelers are good. They're very banged up and I think they're gonna win this game.

Mason Rudolph starting on Christmas weekend is an easy scripted win for the Steelers

If we're looking at this from the eyes of the NFL script writers Mason Rudolph starting Christmas weekend, that seems like an easy win for the Steelers. ... I feel like this is a Mike Tomlin, do you have any culture game? Yes. And if they lose Big Ben was right. If they win, the culture exists for at least one more week.

Chargers interim coach Giff Smith might be a rat for surviving three different head coaching regimes

He could be a rat. 'cause he survived three head coaches getting fired in Chargers now. Giff Smith was there under Mike McCoy. He was under there, there under Anthony Lynn. And now he was there for Brandon Staley getting fired. So I feel like three coaches, you gotta be like, wait, what's going on here?

Bryce Young will win Offensive Player of the Week in Week 16

I think Bryce Young is gonna get offensive player of the week. Oh. Because the last two quarterbacks that the Packers have played against have done Offensive Player of the Week, baker Mayfield. And then the week before that Tommy Devito. Yeah. So, Bryce Young, next up Player of the week.

Whoever wins this game, the loser I'm going to think is just forget about it. ... winner's a super Bowl contender in my mind.

But it it, when the media starts getting on this and starts talking about it where there's smoke, there's fire. And I just hope it's handled correctly.

Jerod Mayo is one of the smartest football players I ever played with

Jerod, he, he's one of the smartest football players I played with. You know, he was the guy that was helping me get lined up when I was playing DB. I'd look at him, he's [saying] cover fucking five, get over there. You know, so Jerod knows football.

The 49ers are beatable if you run the ball effectively and keep their offense off the field

You gotta run the ball against them. ... You do not want to get on a hole against that defensive line that only has to rush four. And then you can get all that crazy scheme of the defense behind and they fly. ... You gotta keep that offense off the field. You know, and that's what the running game does as well.

Drew Lock will make four career Pro Bowls

Drew Lock. My, my take that he would make four Pro Bowls, which I said like four years ago, three years ago in this program. Now it's at an all time high.
