With the weapons the Bengals have and an improved offensive line (supposedly), plus an upgraded defense (supposedly), I think Brandon Allen can hold it down the first 3 weeks. Plus that gives the Bengals time to evaluate the O-line for 3 weeks without Burrow getting hit. I think those first 3 games are winnable with a backup QB under center (Vikings, Bears, Sqeelers). I would play it on the safe side and look at it for the long haul.
Imagine actually believing this.
Don't get me wrong - I'm in the 'we're doomed with this coaching staff even with an All-Pro team' camp, but without Burrow all 3 of those games are L's. At best, the fluke a tie with Chicago or Minnesota.
