Overreactions to Week 3 of the NFL Season
Photo via jaguars.com from Chris Kim Another week of the NFL season, another opportunity to overreact to what we are witnessing. Down to 5 undefeated and defeated teams this season. It's about that time to panic. Only a couple weeks left where we are truly overreacting to what we watch. So let's overreact to Week 3 of the NFL season. The New England Patriots have unsolvable problems A 1-2 record is exactly where New England stood a year ago. And yet this season, it feels insu

How Bad are the Packers? Week 3 TNF Breakdown
Photo via atlantafalcons.com from Jay Bendlin The Green Bay Packers sit at 1-2 on the season and simply have not run a clean operation in 2026. There is a lot that can be discussed about what has led the Packers to be in their current state. A state where I believe, going back to the offseason, Green Bay is not a playoff team and has serious issues in multiple phases of their team. From the way the organization handled the Josh Jacobs off the field situation, to how they mana

Overreactions to Week 2 of the 2026 NFL Season
Photo via bengals.com from Ryan Meyer Week 2 has passed, what are we overreacting to after 32 games of NFL football? Just eight teams are undefeated and eight teams are yet to win a game. Are we allowed to panic yet? The beginning of the season is so exciting because we truly have no idea what will transpire in the ensuing week, let alone 3 months from now. Let's overreact to Week 2 of this NFL season. Turn of the TV, Giants fans I said this a week ago when positively reactin

Overreactions to Week 1 of the 2026 NFL Season
Photo via panthers.com from Andrew Stein 16 games into the NFL season, let's overreact to what has happened in Week 1. Most people will tell you Week 1 of the NFL season is irrelevant and has no bearing on the outcome of the entire season. Well right now I am telling you that each game counts the same, and everything we just saw happen on Sunday, and Monday and Thursday, and even on a Wednesday, will repeat itself over the next 17 weeks. Obviously, the majority of the "analys

Patriots Week 1 Offense - Good and Bad
Photo via patriots.com from Eric J. Adler The New England Patriots lost the season opener to the Seattle Seahawks. They scored just 10 points, had just 277 yards of offense, and averaged just 4.1 yards per play. A brutal display from the 2025 MVP runner-up and Assistant Coach of the Year on offense. So let's just talk about what happened. What I liked, what I didn't like. What there is to be concerned about, and what is no worry. To preface, I am not Bill Walsh. I am not an o

5 Flaming Hot Takes for the 2026 NFL Season
Photo via packers.com We are less than an hour away from kicking off the 2026 NFL season. What are the hottest takes we can produce? I recently released my full season predictions a few days back. If you have read that, you will know the predictions in the article below will not match. These flaming hot takes are not meant to match. These are somewhat extreme scenarios that I could potentially see playing out. Again, these takes are flaming hot. You aren't meant to agree with

4 in, 4 out - Rising In and Falling Out of the NFL Postseason
Photo via denverbroncos.com For over 30 consecutive seasons, at least 4 NFL teams who did not make the playoffs in the prior season, make playoffs the following season. Which means 4 teams across the NFL will fall out of the postseason. This was a very difficult assignment. So let's discuss what "criteria" I used in an attempt to narrow the pool of teams. But first, one of the reasons this was difficult was simply because I believe the options are fairly wide open this season

Buying Stock for the 2026 NFL Season
Photo via bills.com When you invest in a stock, you buy ownership shares in a company, also known as equity shares. Your return on investment depends on the success or failure of that company. NFL players are the company, and claims of ball knowledge are your ROI. The word stock, in non-monetary contexts, can be squabbled over. Mostly because we do not have money to show when we actually bought the stock, and what the stock was worth at that time. We are buying based off of t

Hot Seat! Who's Coaching for Their Job in 2026?
Photo via thejetpress.com from Kim Klement Neitzel(Imagn) On average, around 7 head coaches are fired every offseason. There are many reasons NFL head coaches get shown the door. From not maximizing the roster, power struggles within the organization, underperforming for years, or even just because the franchise sees a chance to upgrade, NFL teams are not afraid to start fresh. In fact, many teams seem willing to cycle through coaches constantly until they find "the one." Wit

Every AFC Team's Fatal Flaw Headed into 2026

Crystal Ball: Conversations we will have in the 2027 Off-Season
Photo via cleveland.com Let's take a glance into the future. There are always storylines in the NFL. Some are logical, some are completely fabricated, and some are very dramatized. We are going to take a gander into the future and have come up with some storylines that may be had after the conclusion of the 2026 season. This is a bit predictive, but that isn't the point. If it were totally predictive I'd be talking about how Tyler Shough and Jordyn Tyson are the next Montana

The Epidemic of NFL Draft Analysis
Photo via cbssports.com The way much of the media analyzes the NFL Draft is simply awful. Why? Particularly in this era of social media and the increasing number of individual creators, we have an epidemic on our hands. As stated, this era specifically seems to be worse. Mostly because there is an ever increasing amount of opinions and information on the internet. And the fact that getting clicks is incentivized only makes this issue worse. "WHAT ARE THE ____ DOING!"

Grading the 1st Round of the NFL Draft

Which, oddly enough, after weeks of news and rumors, I feel strangely good about. But we're back, on the morning of the draft. And we have our final mock draft, with a lot of trade movement in Round 1. Before we get into it, let me repeat my disclaimer about trades: You may have heard of such a thing as t

NFL Draft 1st Round Wild Cards
Photo via freep.com Every year on the first night of the NFL Draft, there are surprises. Whether someone goes way higher than expected, or drops out of the 1st round. Let's discuss what prospects might fit into this category. Last year, we saw Will Johnson, Mike Green, and Shedeur Sanders plummet down the board, for various reasons. In 2023, as pictured above, both Jahmyr Gibbs and Jack Campbell were drafted well above where they stood according to the consensus board. I rele

Matching 1st Round Prospects to NFL teams
Photo via statecollege.com from Jeff Roberson(AP) Less than a week until the NFL Draft, where are the best landing spots for certain prospects? I wanted to take a look at some 1st round prospects, and make a (somewhat) realistic match for them with a 1st round team. This will be more personal to my opinion. These will be my favorite fits for prospects in the 1st round. A combination of where is best for the player, but also a realistic possibility for the team. Let's get into

While every year is different, let's take a look at the averages for how many of each position go in the 1st round of the draft since 2020: QB: 3.5 RB: 1.166 WR: 5.3
