We're Cooked: A One-Month NFL Misery Index

In this episode of The Ringer NFL Show, Sheil Kapadia and Dan Hanzus discuss whether certain NFL teams are "cooked," meaning their seasons are essentially over due to poor performance or other factors. They analyze the New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, and San Francisco 49ers, debating their chances of recovery and success this season. They examine team dynamics, coaching, injuries, and statistical performance to determine if there is any hope for these teams or if they are destined for a disappointing season. The conversation includes banter, statistical analysis, and personal opinions on the state of each team. Kapadia concludes with a commentary on the NFL's increasing trend towards standalone game windows driven by financial incentives.
