The boys are back with week one coverage of the NFL and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Matt and Tim break down this weeks match up between the Bengals at the New York Jets. Is Ryan Fitzpatrick any match up for this Bengals defense? Can Andy Dalton overcome not having Tyler Eifert? Will Tyler Kroft, Tyler Boyd, Brandon LaFell, and Cody Core play a factor in week one?

They take a look back to the surprising cuts and signs as the Bengals get the the magic number of 53 players. Was cutting P.J. Dawson a smart move, especially to sign a young unproven quarterback? When Brandon Tate was beat out by Alex Erickson, Did Matt’s dream come true?
