Buffalo’s going to be playing all of their starters a decent amount this week. We started last year flat and I don’t want that happening again this year, especially since Baltimore’s defense is healthy again and Jackson, the regular season superstar is 100%
Those early season games might be difference in home playoff games or not.
Well, the Bengals did win the first regular season game and started 5 and 2. And since there are two weeks between the final preseason game and the start of the season, I would not have a problem if the starters didn't play until the final preseason game. I wouldn't want to risk injury if they are still rounding into shape.
I remember last preseason there were a lot of complaints about Ja'Marr Chase not getting enough snaps in preseason, particularly with Burrow, but it turned out just fine.
