The Bengals are in the exact same spot they were last year before their Super Bowl run

The Cincinnati Bengals, we talked about it last week. They're sitting basically at the exact same spot they were at last year when they ripped off all those wins and went all the way to the Super Bowl. They go into Nashville, they get in a fist fight with the Titans and come out with a win.

The Bengals did indeed go on a tear, reaching the AFC Championship game and narrowly losing to the Chiefs.

T Higgins is the best number two wide receiver in the NFL

T Higgins is probably the best number two [wide receiver]. He was awesome. And it does feel like he doesn't get any of the pub that Jamar Chase does because Jamar Chase is so incredible.

This is a subjective evaluation, though Higgins is widely considered a top-tier talent for a 'number two' receiver.

Taylor Heinicke has proven he is a good quarterback and potentially 'the guy'

Taylor Heinicke at this point has proven, I think that he's a good quarterback. I'm getting close to the point where I'm just ready to, I'm dangerously close to saying he's the guy. I'm very close.

Heinicke eventually lost the starting job later that season and has remained a journeyman/backup since, proving he wasn't 'the guy'.

Todd Bowles is a really shitty head coach

Todd Bowles is a really shitty head coach. He stinks. He is so bad. And the Bucks, the Bucks have their problems. They're not a good football team... this game is 100% on Todd Bowles. He coached like a fucking coward. He doesn't know who his quarterback is.

Bowles' tenure in Tampa was widely criticized for poor clock management and conservative play, leading to his eventual struggle as a head coach post-Brady.

The Tom Brady and Bruce Arians falling out was an FTX-level mistake

I don't know how it all broke down how Tom Brady ended up being, getting Todd Bowles as the head coach... we think that maybe he and Bruce Arians had a falling out and if they did, that was a big mistake. That was a FTX level mistake by him.

The Bucs offense fell from 2nd in PPG under Arians to 25th under Bowles/Leftwich in 2022.

Trevor Lawrence has officially arrived

Trevor Lawrence has arrived. If you're a Jaguars fan, this is the game you will have in your head for this. This buys you like three more years of Trevor Lawrence. I mean he was awesome in the fourth quarter. Incredible.

Lawrence led the Jaguars to a playoff win that season, confirming his status as a franchise QB, even with subsequent ups and downs.

Zach Wilson is literally the worst quarterback in the NFL

That's how bad Zach Wilson has been. He's been literally the worst quarterback in the NFL. So if Mike White is B quarterbacking, I think you gotta just keep rolling with him and be like, this is our best chance to win.

Wilson's 2022 stats were at the bottom of the league, and he was eventually benched and then traded by the Jets.

Nathaniel Hackett might be the worst NFL head coach ever

I am saying he's the worst coach ever. Nathaniel Hackett would understand, like, we've been very nice. You fucked up a lot... Hey, Nathaniel Hackett, like to show that we're friends, I'm gonna be like, 'Hey dude, you might be the worst coach of all time.'

Hackett was fired before completing his first season (the first to do so since 2018), and the Broncos 2022 season is statistically one of the worst offensive performances of the modern era.

Russell Wilson needs to go on an Ayahuasca journey to fix his ego

I actually do think that Russell Wilson is the quarterback that needs to do drugs the most... there's no quarterback in the NFL that's more in need of like a nice piping hot glass of Ayahuasca than Russell Wilson is. Ego death. Go off into the jungle for the next two months.

This is a humorous and subjective suggestion for personal growth; Wilson never publicly did this.

The Dolphins will be bona fide Super Bowl contenders if they win two of their next three games

They gotta go at 49ers, at Chargers, at Bills... These next three though. If they win two outta three, I don't think, why wouldn't we be saying Dolphins are a true bonafide Super Bowl contender?

The Dolphins actually lost all three of those games (49ers, Chargers, Bills), so they failed to meet Big Cat's threshold for 'bonafide' status.

The 49ers are the scariest team in the NFC

I think they will be the team that all Cowboys, Eagles, Vikings fans will say, 'No, no thank you. Don't wanna play that team.' ... I think they're by far the scariest team.

The 49ers went on a long winning streak and reached the NFC Championship game, where they only lost after being down to their 4th string QB.

Josh Allen can win you a Super Bowl, Kirk Cousins cannot

Listen, the Vikings are a good team. Josh Allen's ceiling, Kirk Cousins' ceiling, there's a big difference. That's how I view the teams. Josh Allen can win you a Super Bowl. Kirk Cousins cannot.

While neither has won a Super Bowl, this remains a subjective debate, though Allen is consistently ranked higher in MVP tiers.

Micah Parsons might be the best overall football player in the NFL

I think Micah Parsons, when he's activated, is the best defensive player in the NFL... when they turn him loose, it's his league and they just say, 'Okay Micah, your assignment is to just go out there and fuck everything up.' He might be the best football player.

Parsons is a perennial First-Team All-Pro, though 'best overall' is subjective.

Wisconsin hiring Luke Fickle is a great hire

Wisconsin Badgers. Luke Fickle out of nowhere. Loved the hire. Excited because Wisconsin could not have been more like bottomed out this year. Wisconsin's back. I'm very, very excited.

The hire was universally praised, though Fickell's first full season was mediocre (7-6). The 'back' status is still pending.
