00:00Isn't it funny that the Raiders, all the way back week one,
00:04beat the Patriots 20-13?
00:06I mean, it seems like impossible to think that that happened
00:09and what we thought of both teams at the time.
00:12And since then, New England was the best team in football,
00:15at least record-wise.
00:17I mean, Vinny, it just goes to show that we should all remember this
00:20for the first week of next year.
00:23I think that's my best summary, is when you and I are doing this again
00:26and we're trying to predict games in week one,
00:28we have to say, ah, it's week one, you never know what could happen.
00:31Yeah, 2025 was the year of burning all the papers,
00:35throwing stuff out the window.
00:37It just didn't add up in our minds, right?
00:41With two longest shots ever together playing in the Super Bowl,
00:45we didn't see either of these teams making this type of run.
00:48And you could have maybe given us about 10 chances
00:51to predict the Super Bowl matchup
00:52when we still probably wouldn't have had both of these teams.
00:55So you look at this, look, this is the NFL.
00:57This is what the NFL wants.
00:58They want it to be spread out.
01:01They want any team to have a chance for a turnaround
01:03and be competitive.
01:05And I think for all those people that were losing hope,
01:08where it's a league dominated by Patrick Mahomes,
01:11the Eagles are looking like a team that's going to be here for a while.
01:15The 49ers are hard to get through in the NFC as well.
01:18That's not the case.
01:19Now the doors open, and that's why you had, again,
01:22related to this, 10 coaching changes,
01:25because everyone is chasing this magical formula
01:28that goes from non-playoffs to going all the way to the Super Bowl.
01:33And every ownership is going to demand this thing.
01:36Why aren't you doing this?
01:37This guy's doing that with this.
01:39So the leashes are going to be shorter on these coaches.
01:42And I do not want to be in that position of trying to turn around teams
01:48that have issues here as one of these 10 new coaches that we now have.
