Marc Trestman was a genius offensive coordinator but not a head coach

Trestman was a great offensive coordinator, he just wasn't a head coach... you can just tell by the way the guy is wired. He's an offensive-minded genius, and he should just be in charge of anything that falls under the offensive branch. When you're trying to talk to D-linemen and linebackers, who are just a different group of individuals, then you got to have a different way of going about it.

Trestman's subsequent career as a coordinator and his failure as a head coach in Chicago and the CFL largely validate this opinion.

Derek Carr, Russell Wilson, and Dak Prescott are all 'Cali boys' who cannot handle the cold

I'm keeping a list right now of guys that can't handle the cold because we need to update this as we get into the playoffs. [Derek Carr], [Russell Wilson], and now we've got Dak. You know, they're all Cali boys pretty much.

While all three had bad games in the cold that week, the 'can't handle cold' label didn't necessarily stick as a career-defining trait for all of them (Wilson won a Super Bowl in NY cold), making this a typical PMT narrative take.

The punter 'hype bubble' will crash within two weeks

I feel like with those three guys [Hecker, McAfee, King], we're entering a punt bubble. It's unsustainable. Punters can't continue to be cool for the next three weeks. There's got to be a crash in there somewhere. So I'm predicting a punter's going to look really uncool... I'm going to go way out on a limb and say that a punter's going to do something dorky in the next couple weeks.

This is a comedic/satirical prediction that can't be strictly verified, though punters did return to their usual low-profile status.

Aaron Rodgers is officially back and the Packers are the team nobody wants to play in January

Aaron Rodgers is officially back. He did his whole thing where everyone talked about how [he] was awful, and then he's rattled off three games that have been great, and the Packers are right back in the thick of things, and they are officially the don't-want-to-play-these-guys-in-January team.

Correct. Rodgers led the Packers to six straight wins to end the season, eventually reaching the NFC Championship game.

Texas Tech LB Rodriguez is undervalued and a 'born football player'

Some guys are just born football players and this guy, the linebacker from Texas Tech... Rodriguez... I like to watch the cutups of these guys in coverage... Rodriguez has a ton of ball skills. He's also a great tackler in space. ... Reuben Bain reminds me of one of those kind of players.

This will be proven by Rodriguez's draft position and subsequent NFL performance.

Matt Nagy and Jackson Dart together in New York will be a lot of fun

I love Jackson Dart, I love the idea of Matt Nagy being the OC and not having to worry about head coach duties? ... if Matt Nagy and Jackson Dart can get on the same page, it's gonna be a lot of fun for people in New York.

The outcome of this offensive pairing will be seen in the upcoming NFL season.

Next year is the Josh Allen show with Joe Brady's offense, and DJ Moore will be a big part of it

I think what we see next year is the Josh Allen show. And with DJ Moore coming to town with a few of those offensive linemen still around, this group is still gonna be firepower on offense. Who's gonna rush the passer in the playoffs? Who's gonna be the guy that you know sends chills down the spine of a tackle on third down?

Pending - 2026 NFL season hasn't happened yet.
