I'll start...the O-Line needs to gel/react accordingly. Didn't see a lot of improvement from last year. WAY too many sacks. Sacks don't win games.
The oline was worlds better than last season, especially in the 2nd half. We dont give enough credit to the Steelers excellent defense. Crazy 1st game for a rookie at LG.
This is like opposing fans saying their oline sucked and giving no credit to Geno.
Our defense was amazing.
How many more games will Burrow have 5-6 turnovers? None.
How many more games will the longsnapper get injured and cost. us the game twice? None.
How many more game winning TDs will Zac not challenge? None.
Volson will get better, the entire oline will get better. The offense as a whole will get better, we know what they can do, if the defense can keep up this great effort we will be fine.
As to your question:
The Bills look incredible, the Ravens, Chiefs, and Chargers are all better than us right now (at least the football world thinks so and they maybe right today). The competition will be the reason we dont go far, IMO.
