5. The improved OL should expand our playbook. In the Athletic Podcast earlier this summer Brian and Zac lamented how it severely limited what they wanted to do on offense.
6. The Bengals weren’t a fluke. Flukes don’t beat KC twice. Flukes don’t beat Baltimore 41-17 & 41-21 Pittsburg 41-10 & 24-10 Beat the Raiders 32-13 on the road. Go win in the playoffs on the road in OT & last 30 seconds. They were 6-2 to end the season ( not counting the Browns)
With all due respect, Baltimore had no secondary. Big Ben had no arm, we had a last place schedule and played the worst combined pass defense rating in the league last year. So the skepticism has validity.
But I agree, the team is being slept on too much. One more year to grow, I don’t see us losing the division.
