Bo Nix is the Taysom Hill of passing

If you've ever wondered what Taysom Hill would look like if he was a little bit better at passing and a little bit worse at running, you got the full Bo Nix Taysom Hill experience tonight because Sean Payton was doing the old Taysom Hill playbook for Bo Nix.

Stylistically accurate comparison for that specific game where Nix had significant rushing production and inconsistent passing.

The Saints are officially on 'Quit Watch'

The Saints are officially on quit watch. Dennis Allen, Richard Sherman said at halftime, he's like, they're trying to get Dennis Allen fired. I wouldn't be shocked. And the Saints are just like—this was so—this was a bad game.

The Saints eventually fired Dennis Allen in November 2024 after a 7-game losing streak, validating the 'Quit Watch'.

NFL Week 7 is a massive trap weekend for favorites

Just remember that on Monday it was reported that it was the worst weekend Vegas has had in like 20 years. It was one of the best weekends for favorites of all time. So this is a trap weekend. Watch out. Don't fall for the traps.

Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season actually saw most favorites cover again (e.g., Lions, Bills, Commanders, Eagles), defying the 'trap' prediction.

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 Bucs were legitimately good in 2024, competing for the NFC South until injuries derailed them.

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.

Purely subjective aesthetic opinion.

Jerry Jones should trade Micah Parsons to reload on draft picks

If I were Jerry Jones, reload on draft picks and trade Micah Parsons. You have to pay him and your problem right now is it seems like you have lack of depth going forward. What's gonna happen yet? You locked up Dak, you locked up CD, you're gonna have to pay Micah Parsons. You could probably get a lot for him.

Parsons remained on the team through the 2024 season. No trade occurred.

Nick Sirianni will be fired if the Eagles lose to the Giants

I'll say this right now, if the Eagles lose to the Giants on Sunday, Nick Sirianni will not be coaching the following week. He'll—he will be done. I think he will be fired.

The Eagles beat the Giants 28-3. Sirianni was not fired.

Mike Tomlin is starting Russell Wilson to prove he's bad and go back to Justin Fields

Mike Tomlin, a man of his word, is like, I know I have a better chance with Justin Fields, but I promised Russell Wilson he's the starter. He's gonna throw him out against the Jets to basically have him suck. And then he's gonna be like, 'See, you guys told me I need to start Russell Wilson. I told Russell Wilson it wasn't his job to lose. He sucks. Justin Fields!'

Russell Wilson actually played very well in his debut and the Steelers won comfortably, proving he was the viable starter.

Winning the Pro Bowl should grant players a 'reverse card' on the franchise tag

Especially think about the guys that are in that game... Or no franchise tag. Like they get basically an Uno card reverse on a franchise tag if you win the Pro Bowl. I feel like that—Roger Goodell, give us a call.

Subjective proposal for NFL rule changes.

Determination and hard work make a champion, not just talent

I don't think I'm the most talented guy. In fact, I think talent is very important, but I think talent doesn't make you a champion. Talent doesn't put you in the top of the game. Like, there's only one thing: is your dedication, your determination, and your hard work. Because the most talented people, for some reason, they are not always in top of the game.

Subjective philosophy on success.
