The Texans being determined to 'feed' David Johnson is a bad sign for their offense

I think David Johnson, I think that's a bad thing. Bad thing because you know Bill O'Brien's like, we got to feed David Johnson. And he's not David Johnson anymore.

The Texans offense struggled, Bill O'Brien was fired after an 0-4 start, and David Johnson was largely ineffective.

The Buccaneers at number five is fine because they already had a decent core and a good defense

I'm actually okay with the Bucs being five because the Bucs... they had the core of a decent team last year. They just had a quarterback that threw 30 interceptions... And they had a pretty good defense, too.

The Buccaneers won the Super Bowl this season, proving the high ranking was actually too low, if anything.

The Buccaneers' rushing attack is underrated

I also think that the running game in Tampa is underrated... so many people are talking about Tom Brady and Gronk and Mike Evans that no one's talking about Barber and the rushing attack that they had, which was pretty effective.

Peyton Barber was not on the team in 2020. The Bucs finished 28th in rushing yards per game in 2020, so the ground game wasn't actually a strength.

Peter King's power rankings are influenced by which coaches and quarterbacks return his phone calls

Once you get out of the top five, you can tell which coaches and quarterbacks return Peter King's calls. Because that's also why Tom Brady's up there is because he calls him back.

Subjective claim about a journalist's process.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
