NO NFL Network analyst picked us to return to Super Bowl

[Joelist]

The 10-7 is deceiving. We had 2 losses at least that were basically due to Burrow shaking out the post injury rust (Bears and Browns 1) and Browns 2 was essentially a preseason game for us. So we EASILY could have been 13-4 if Burrow had been fully worked up at season start.

And health wise we were not as special as some claim. By season's end we had lost our starting RT and RG and all of the remaining guards on the roster as well as the starting C were playing hurt. We also lost Ogunjobi early in the Wild Card game and Burrow was even playing hurt for a while there.

This season right now we actually have pretty much everyone we expected to have healthy as, well, healthy. We majorly upgraded the OL and our depth in the secondary has also had a big upshift.
