The Bears are a juggernaut at losing and rooting for them to tank for a high draft pick is a cathartic experience.

I don't want the Bears to win this game. Just reversing my entire mindset about the Bears. I was like, I want them to lose this game. And they are incredibly competent at that. They know how to do that very well. It was like the easiest Sunday of my life. ... The Bears are a juggernaut at losing.

The Bears successfully 'lost' their way to the #1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, making this a prescient take on their tanking competence.

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'.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
