And again, every team has players dealing with injuries that impact them, even if they don't miss time. The fact of the matter is, we had fewer players miss time or impacted by injuries than most. 

Yes, the QB is obviously the most important position, but I'd expect more players to be hurt throughout the season than 3 starters next year. So saying "a ton of bad things happened" isn't really accurate when you look at the rest of the league. In reality, one bad thing happened and everything else was relatively lucky.

Baltimore is #1.
KC is #2
Bills #5
Dolphins #6
Cleveland is # 11
Bengals #13

Guess they think the window is part-of-the-way closed.

All they really provide is an opinion of someone who thinks this or that team should be good based on staff.
The PRs will change again after FA, again after the draft, and yet again through preseason.

At the end of the day, I just want a healthy Joe Burrow through training camp and going into Week 1 for once.

We just beat them the year before last and they were 0-1 then as well.

The only team that has beat the Chiefs in the Playoffs has been the Burrow led Cincinnati Bengals and he is 3-1 against them last I checked.


Very true, that is all I want this Offseason after a decent FA and Draft.
