I compare the early part of a season NFL to a good golfer that gets to the course 10 minutes before their tee time. They don't warm up, hit any balls and just go to the tee box. I'm a 5 handicap myself and if I don't hit a few balls on the range first I literally play the first 3-4 holes terrible until the swing gets loose.
Really no different than a NFL team who that MIGHT play all their regulars together a total of 2-3 series (Bengals even less) in preseason.Yes, teams do start off 3-1/4-0 but even Cinci. with all their early issues and it still took 2 last-second GW FG's or this team is 3-1/4-0.
Good analogy. You nailed it. I think with 4 new starters in the OL they needed to play them in the preseason. LAR and McVay look out of sync and they didn’t play their starters. LAR does have some OL injury issues limiting them.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
