The Bengals have finally fixed their defense

I'm buying the Bengals stock. Good team. That is showing that they're different than the Bengals of last year and what we saw last year. They have a good defense. It feels like they've got it figured out.

The Bengals' ultimate quality is season-dependent, while the opinion that this defense is materially improved is evaluable over the season.

The Saints might be for real

I think the Saints might be for real. I think they're a very well-coached team.

Whether the Saints prove to be a legitimate team over the season is not yet resolved.

The Texans can still win the Super Bowl

I think the Texans can still win the Super Bowl. They have to play a lot better. In a world where Tank Dell comes back, Nico Collins stays healthy, CJ Stroud plays like he played his rookie year, they could win the Super Bowl.

The Texans' ability to win the Super Bowl will be resolved after the 2026 NFL season.

The Jets should be 2-0

They should have won that game. I should be sitting here two and oh on a high horse. But instead we're just one and one, 'cause we're still the Jets.

This is an assessment of the completed game rather than a future prediction; whether the Jets 'should' have won is inherently interpretive.

The Falcons are the second-worst team in the NFL

I'm not gonna say they're the worst team in the NFL because the Miami Dolphins are, but they're the second worst.

This is a subjective ranking of the teams at that point in the season.

The Buccaneers should have moved on from Todd Bowles

This is why I said when we finished last season, it's like, how do you bring Todd Bowles back? It feels like you're back. The Bucs have, since Week 8 of last season, gone three and ten. It feels like we're just doing it again.

Whether retaining Todd Bowles was the wrong decision is an evaluative judgment that cannot be definitively resolved from one early-season stretch.
