The Bengals are not in trouble despite starting the season 0-2

I was like very walked away from that game saying the Bengals that I thought the Bengals might be in trouble. I was teetering on that with the wrist and everything. I do not think the Bengals are in trouble. They just couldn't beat the Chiefs because the Chiefs just are inevitable.

The Bengals finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs, marking a disappointing season where they were indeed in trouble.

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.

This victory over the Lions might be Todd Bowles' signature win as the Buccaneers head coach

The Bucs, you called it the gutsy one of the week. I think this might be Todd Bowles' signature win. He won a playoff game, but I'm gonna give Todd Bowles his signature win this week. This is signature win for Todd Bowles. We've all been waiting for one.

While Bowles won a playoff game previously, this Week 2 victory was a major statement win against an NFC favorite.

The Buccaneers are currently the number one team in my NFL power rankings

The Bucs have now beaten two outstanding teams. I think I have the Bucs number one in my power rankings right now. Commanders and the Lions.

The Bucs finished 9-8 and won their division, but they were certainly not the #1 team in the league by season's end.

I love the DJ Moore trade for the Bears because it clears cap space for Max Crosby or Tyler Linderbaum

I love this trade because you clear up money. [DJ Moore's] got a big pretty hefty contract so you clear up money to maybe go get a Max Crosby or a Linderbaum. You get a pick and you make the bet that Luther Burden and Rome Odunze are gonna be taking leaps forward.

The trade is real in this transcript's timeline. The outcome of the cap space usage depends on free agency results.

DJ Moore would not have had a 1,000-yard season if he stayed in the Bears' offense

He could have a thousand yards [with the Bills] and be like, wow. How, how could you trade him? He wouldn't have had a thousand yards in this Bear's offense.

Moore finished the 2023 season with 1,364 yards for the Bears, so this retrospective hypothetical is likely incorrect as he had already proven he could do it.

Malik Willis is the #1 free agent backup quarterback

Top quarterback free agents... Is it also Malik Willis? Malik Willis is, yes. So he's number one. Malik Willis one.

Willis was traded to the Packers in 2024 and performed well as a backup, but ranking him #1 over established vets is a subjective value judgment.
