Last season, this Bengals team came out of absolutely nowhere to put the football world on notice, as they made an unexpected run towards an AFC Championship and Super Bowl appearance. Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase have planted their flag as maybe the league’s top passing connection, but will it be enough to fight off that always nasty Super Bowl hangover?

In their first year under the testosterone and caffeine fueled leadership of Motor City Dan Campbell, this team showed a lot of fight despite only winning 3 games. In 2022, will that grit and toughness translate into better results on the gridiron? This episode’s got everything you could ever want to get prepared to watch the Lions on Hard Knocks this Summer!

In all my days of following the NFL, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an organization do a worse job at supporting a young (potential) franchise quarterback. Justin Fields was drafted into a rough situation, and it didn’t look to get much better this offseason. With the fouls stench of Matt Nagy finally being removed from that building, will a new coaching staff be enough to save the former Heisman finalists chances of survival in Chicago?

The final 2 years of the Mike Zimmer regiment have left a sour taste in the mouth of most Vikings fans recently. With a new General Manager and first year Head Coach Kevin O’Connell now in the building, does this team have what it takes to make it back to the playoffs and even challenge big brother Green Bay for the division? And are the sky high fantasy expectations for Justin Jefferson unrealistic or is he ready to take the league by storm? SKOL.

The Packers entered this offseason with some major decisions to make. After managing to get back into the good graces of their beloved QB and agreeing to an extension with Aaron Rodgers, this team shocked the world by trading away All Pro wide receiver Davante Adams. A-Rod now comes into this season possibly with more pressure than ever, and will have to find a way to stay at the top of the NFC without his former #1 weapon. Are The Pack up to the challenge?

With a brand new Head Coach and GM in the big Apple, the pressure is on QB Daniel Jones and RB Saquon Barkley to prove they’re worthy of a second contract. This team had a pretty solid draft and invested in their offensive line quite a bit this spring, but will it be enough? Or is this offense looking at a full blown rebuild in 2023?

***NOTE: Please skip first 90 seconds due to audio issues*** Washington is a team that somehow always finds themselves in the headlines. And more often than not, it’s got nothing to do with football unfortunately. Between congressional investigation of toxic work place culture and members of the coaching staff being asked to resign by the internet, there’s never a dull moment in D.C….We do our best to keep it to football on this one but Dan Snyder certainly doesn’t make it easy…. Big question is: Does trading for Carson Wentz give this organization the beacon of hope they so desperately need?

This time last year I released SGR #5 “The Great Philadelphia Eagles Rant” where I basically laid out everything that has been wrong with this organization post Super Bowl LII. Here we are going into the 2022 season and I’m back to betting on them to dominate the NFC East. Can Jalen Hurts take the step forward this team needs to catapult them into contender status? And is second year Head Coach Nick Sirianni still watering his plants every day? Let’s talk birds.

It’s almost become an annual tradition this time of year…when the geniuses at your typical mainstream media outlets all get together and decide to crown the Dallas Cowboys as your Super Bowl champions before a single snap of football is played. And yet somehow, this team has managed to win only 3 playoff games since the year 2000. Will this year be any different, or will we be given the gift of another classic Dallas choke job?

Only fitting the episode 69 happens to be our Jets preview after the latest rumors surrounding 2nd year QB Zach Wilson…will his performance off the field carry over to on-field success this season? Or is this struggling franchise and fan base doomed for even more disappointment?
