The Bengals are a scary team of destiny with Jake Browning

Now I'm, I'm back to being like Bengals team of destiny. Nick Foles, Jake Browning... the Bengals are, I, I can't believe that the Bengals are like actually kind of a scary team.

The Bengals finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs in a crowded AFC, so they weren't exactly a 'team of destiny' this year.

The Jaguars are currently allergic to the end zone

they had the debacle at the end of the half where the Jaguars are just allergic to the end zone until they, they hit that deep strike. But I have no idea what Doug Peterson was thinking at the end of that half. No, it was, it was all time.

The Jaguars lost 23-7 and did indeed struggle significantly in the red zone during this specific game.

Nick Mullens is the ultimate backup gunslinger because you always want to watch him

Nick Mullens... he's the ultimate like backup gunslinger. Right. Yeah. I don't think a team will ever commit to Nick Mullens as being like the guy ever. But he's fun. At least you'll say this about Nick when he plays, you wanna watch the game because he's gonna do some crazy shit.

Mullens' subsequent performances in 2023 continued to feature high yardage and high turnovers, confirming his status as a high-variance backup.

The 2023 AFC playoffs are so wide open that no result would shock me

The a FC. There's no rhyme like the a FC playoffs. I will not be shocked pretty much with any team that gets to the super Bowl at this point. Yeah, you could, you could see.

While the AFC ended up being won by the Chiefs (a very standard result), the path featured many unexpected contenders, making the take 'partially correct' in its assessment of the landscape.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

Jeffrey Simmons makes the Bears Super Bowl contenders

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.
