The NFL's 'fumble through the end zone' touchback rule is actually good because it's the only rule that favors the defense

Everyone says it's a bad rule... I disagree. I think that it's not a bad rule. In fact, I think it's a good rule. It's the only rule that favors the defense at all. The way that the game's going, every rule change is in favor of the offense... This is the one rule that on defense, it gives you a little bit of [help].

The rule remains highly controversial but unchanged, making this a permanent philosophical debate.

Drew Brees is clearly washed

Drew Brees clearly looked very washed. I've been on the Drew Brees is washed train for two years now and I've said that the Saints have a Super Bowl roster and the only thing that's holding them back is Drew Brees.

Brees threw 3 interceptions and averaged 4.0 yards per attempt in this game, and retired shortly after, confirming he was at the end of his career.

Drew Brees' physical limitations cost the Saints the game

It was clear. [Brees] can't throw the ball over 15 yards. His mind is still there, but he doesn't have any of the physical abilities. And that cost the Saints the game. Drew Brees unfortunately lost them the game.

Stats and film from the game showed Brees unable to push the ball downfield, which allowed the Bucs to compress their defense.

Jameis Winston's one touchdown pass against the Bucs will earn him a massive contract next year

That one pass made Jameis Winston $25 million next year. I don't know about that much, but it definitely... whoever comes in second with the Deshaun Watson jackpot, they're going to have to pony up some cash for Big J-Dog.

Jameis Winston signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal to stay with the Saints, which is significantly less than the $25 million mentioned.

Brock Purdy is the MVP and the 49ers are the NFL's best team

The 49ers are, I think, the best team in football. I think Brock Purdy right now is the league MVP.

The 49ers' eventual season result and MVP award are not yet known from the available context.

Dan Quinn should be fired after the fourth-down disaster

I think Dan Quinn has to go and he's a nice guy.

This is primarily a coaching judgment, although the proposed firing is also a future personnel outcome.

The Jets would win the NFC East

The Jets would be—I would take the Jets to win the NFC East. Without a doubt.

The 2026 NFL season has not yet reached its conclusion, so whether the Jets win the NFC East is unresolved.
