2018 - Finished 6-10 - Injuries to Green/Dalton, and Teryl Austin
Looking at these, which type of finish do you think is most likely this year?
I've seen some predicting we lose out, which is asinine. The only time we started 5-4 and finished that poorly, it was due to losing our QB/WR tandem, and having the worst DC in team history.
As long as Burrow and Chase are on the field, I'd say we have a chance to win every week. The schedule isn't nearly as daunting as some are saying. We've already beat Pitt and Baltimore in THEIR stadiums. Convincingly.
...and as much as I'm not sold on Lou, he's been much better this year than Teryl Austin was in 2018.
Thoughts? Also, if you just want to talk about some memories of some of these teams, feel free.
Doubt we Lose out... But think we miss out on the playoffs.
