Justin Tucker is officially washed compared to his peak

Is Justin Tucker washed? Yes. He is washed compared to peak Justin Tucker. 100%. He's no longer Justin Tucker. He's no longer, 'Hey, we have a 50-yard field goal, we're gonna make it because we have Justin Tucker.'

Tucker finished 2024 with a career-low 78.8% field goal percentage, missing several kicks from 50+, supporting the idea that he is no longer his peak self.

The Saints are the best team in the NFL through the first two weeks

If we were just going off of two weeks, are the Saints the best team in the NFL? Yes, they are. I think that they are the best team in the NFL. If you go off two weeks, cumulative scores are 91 to 20.

The Saints cooled off significantly after Week 2, losing seven straight games shortly after this take.

Brian Daboll cost the Giants the game by failing to carry a backup kicker

Brian Daboll, what the fuck are you doing? They could have brought up another kicker. It felt like Brian Daboll cost his team the game here by not having a kicker.

The Giants lost by 3 points and missed an extra point/didn't attempt field goals due to Gano's injury, making this a widely accepted factual criticism.

Sam Darnold has officially arrived in the NFL after seven years

Sam Darnold's back. Sam Darnold has arrived. Sam Darnold is our Baker Mayfield of this year. It took him seven years, but he has finally arrived in the NFL. He is now, dare I say, good.

Darnold led the Vikings to a 5-0 start and remained a top-tier starter throughout the 2024 season, effectively proving the 'arrival' take correct.

Anthony Richardson is not currently good at quarterbacking

Anthony Richardson is just not that good at quarterbacking right now. He had two very, very bad interceptions. Missing guys. I just don't see it what other people see. Kale Williams was really good in college. Anthony Richardson wasn't. So that's where I'm like, I don't know.

Richardson was eventually benched for Joe Flacco later in the 2024 season before being reinstated, confirming his struggles with the fundamentals of the position.

Bryce Young's career in Carolina is over

I feel bad for Bryce Young. It doesn't feel like it's ever gonna happen. Carolina, I feel like that part is, is kind of done. 'Cause even if he plays the rest of this year, there's no way the Panthers are gonna be good enough where they're like, we're gonna keep him going forward.

Young was benched for Andy Dalton the day after this podcast aired, though he eventually returned to start later in the season.

The Bengals are the team the Chiefs fear playing the most

I think you proved that now that Joe Burrow's back, you guys are the hardest out for the Chiefs. That's a fact. If you ask Chiefs fans, if you ask Patrick Mahomes, you ask Andy Reid, you hit him with truth serum and you're like, what team do you not wanna play? It's the Cincinnati Bengals.

While the Bengals lost this game on a late penalty, they are statistically the most competitive team against Mahomes in recent years.

Caleb Williams won't survive the season behind the Bears' offensive line

Caleb Williams is gonna get murdered. He's gonna get killed behind this offensive line. I'm actually like worried that even if Caleb Williams, I still believe in Caleb Williams. I don't know if Caleb Williams will survive because the offensive line is that bad.

Williams did survive the season, although he took a significant number of sacks and the offensive coordinator was eventually fired.

I will cut off the tip of my pinky if the Falcons win the Super Bowl

Falcons are not winning the Super Bowl. Guaranteed. Falcons are not winning the Super Bowl. That's, I I believe it end the season. Tip of the pinky. If the Falcons somehow win this game on Monday night, I have to also have the Rams.

The Falcons were eliminated from playoff contention in January 2025.
