The entire NFC South is a lot better than we expected it to be

I think that the entire NFC South is a lot better than we thought it was gonna be. The Saints have looked unstoppable in two [weeks].

The division was more competitive than in 2023, with three teams (Bucs, Falcons, Saints) finishing with 9 or 8 wins, though only one made the playoffs.

Justin Tucker is officially washed compared to his peak

Is Justin Tucker washed? Yes. He is washed compared to peak Justin Tucker. 100%. He's no longer Justin Tucker. He's no longer, 'Hey, we have a 50-yard field goal, we're gonna make it because we have Justin Tucker.'

Tucker finished 2024 with a career-low 78.8% field goal percentage, missing several kicks from 50+, supporting the idea that he is no longer his peak self.

This victory over the Lions might be Todd Bowles' signature win as the Buccaneers head coach

The Bucs, you called it the gutsy one of the week. I think this might be Todd Bowles' signature win. He won a playoff game, but I'm gonna give Todd Bowles his signature win this week. This is signature win for Todd Bowles. We've all been waiting for one.

While Bowles won a playoff game previously, this Week 2 victory was a major statement win against an NFC favorite.

The Buccaneers are currently the number one team in my NFL power rankings

The Bucs have now beaten two outstanding teams. I think I have the Bucs number one in my power rankings right now. Commanders and the Lions.

The Bucs finished 9-8 and won their division, but they were certainly not the #1 team in the league by season's end.

The Chiefs-Rams Trent McDuffy trade is the first true win-win trade in NFL history

I think the only win-win trade in the history of the NFL might be the McDuffy trade. The one that just happened. Where the the Chiefs traded McDuffy to the Rams. The Rams don't give a fuck about first round picks. They got a great player and they still have their better first round pick from the Falcons. That to me is the first win-win trade in the history of the NFL.

Subjective assessment of trade value over time.

The Rams have proven that first-round draft picks outside of the top 10 don't matter

Are the Rams doing it correctly? Not that draft picks don't matter. Draft picks outside of the top 10 don't matter as much... instead of taking risks on a bunch of 21 year olds, let's get the known commodity knowing it's a crapshoot and just keep punting that down the line being like, we don't care.

This is a subjective organizational philosophy that has yielded mixed results for other teams, though the Rams have remained competitive.

Alec Pierce is about to get a massive contract in free agency

I think Alec Pierce is about to get paid too. I think the market on Alec Pierce is gonna be crazy. Possible Patriot. Possible Commander.

Pierce remained on his rookie contract through 2024; he did not hit free agency or get a 'crazy' bag in 2025.
