Am I the only one that thinks everyone is over-reacting a bit? As a team we look as good as we looked last year. We're having a slow start, which is understandable with the tough defenses week 1-2 and not having a pre-season, and having 4 new players up front.
We all should have known it would be a shaky start with the offensive line needing time to gel into a cohesive unit. To me I see Burrow running for his life with no time to throw. Give him time to throw and things improve. They just need to get the running game going a little more and to settle down up front. The coaching can improve as well in terms of scheme and play calling.
But what I'm getting at is people need to take a step back and remove their preconceived notions of what they thought this team would be in week 1. We aren't the Bills. We are the team we were last year, trying to improve our weaknesses and reach that elite level.
We proved last year we can beat anybody. We haven't proven to be a power-house quite yet and the reason being our offensive line. We addressed it in FA, now is time for the coaching to improve the unit and we'll start to see some wins.
I'm seeing people suggesting we bench Mixon, that Burrow is done.. I really didn't expect this level of hysteria, but here we are. My advice is to just sit back and watch. This (extremely young) team should improve a lot this year. I'm excited to see progress as the season goes on.
