Injuries as an excuse

Ossai was a big blow based on what we saw early on, but consider this:  Last year's team lost Burrow, Mixon, Uzo, Waynes (all year), XSF, Jonah Williams, Dunlap (not to injury), Hubbard, and Reader for a significant amount of time.  Couple that with the fact that your two supposed stars (AJ Green and Atkins) all but disappeared.  

This season's start has been relatively healthy thus far (knocks on head) and there is substantially better quality depth.

Burrow was starting to come on strong last year and might have taken that M*A*S*H unit to a few more wins had he been healthy, but I liked his trajectory.  

This is the year they return to relevance and threaten a playoff bid.  I would lose my mind (in a good way) if they were able to sneak in to the playoffs because I think Joe only elevates on the bigger stage and that would mean our offense is likely rolling.  

It's going to be fun.  10 wins.  They need to start fast.  It is going to happen.
