The Bengals are one of the best teams in the AFC but will probably miss the playoffs

I'm walking away from this Bengals game and I'm thinking the Bengals are one of the best teams in the AFC. And they're probably not gonna make the playoffs.

The Bengals fell to 4-7 following another close loss in Week 11, making their playoff path nearly impossible.

Justin Tucker is officially washed

Lamar finds a way there. Justin Tucker. Wash this. It feels like the Ravens might be destined to get into a close playoff game... and to get out kicked. I hope that's not the case, but there's something up with Justin Tucker.

Tucker has struggled significantly in 2024, posting the worst field goal percentage of his career and missing multiple high-leverage kicks.

I am never going to give up on Joe Burrow and I think the Bengals will still make the playoffs.

I'm never gonna give up on the Bengals. I don't know. It's a sickness at this point. I'm not gonna give up on Joe Burrow... I think they might be able to do it. If they can beat the [Los Angeles] Chargers, I think they can do it. It's crazy to say, but I think they might be able to do it.

The Bengals fell to 4-7 after losing to the Chargers on November 17th, making their playoff chances extremely slim.

The Giants will win the international game in Germany against the Panthers

I actually think the Giants are gonna win. Do you know the Giants are leading the league in Sacks? 35. Their defensive line is very good... I like the Giants in this game just because I'm gonna bet it because it's gonna be on.

The Panthers defeated the Giants 20-17 in overtime in Germany on November 10, 2024.

The Ravens' fourth-quarter problems are moving earlier

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.

This is a season-long assessment that can only be judged against Baltimore's eventual 2026 performance.

Baker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland

This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.

Whether the personal history materially affects the game is subjective, though the stated public grievance is part of the episode's context.

The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games

I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.

The preferred NFL schedule is a policy judgment, though the player-safety rationale is grounded in the discussion's cited study.
