Having a new young QB, so many draft picks needing to contribute, and with so many changes on defense, missing preseason was a big deal for this team. We've seen huge leaps in Joe Burrow's development, Tee Higgins is growing more confident. Yesterday gave us a real look at what this offense can be when everything is clicking. The defense can perform in short bursts, but they still have major consistency issues especially in the way too leaky run defense. Even still, they are better than they were last season.
Hopefully, we will continue to see improvement for the rest of the season. They aren't likely going to the playoffs at season end but, other than a few games (cough cough Ravens) they should be competitive.
Feel the same, I watched a different team yesterday that gave me much hope for the future. With Burrow playing as good as he is
and the O-line improving we could make a run you never know. Been the weirdest year ever but the team looked to finally be playing
together as a unit and I saw improvement all across the board in a team that has been in every game so far against tough D fronts.
We will see how we handle the Ravens. Big test.
