Have We Yet to See the Bengals at Their Best?

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

I think there is another gear on offense. ZT made the decision to basically sit the starters for pre-season (save for Volson). Collins was hurt & Burrow stunk for the first couple weeks because of the apendectomy. The O linexwas terrible early, as was Mixon. Then Higgins had a lingering hammy issue, Chase got hurt for 4 weeks. Mixon missed timexwith a concussion. Hurst got hurt. Boyd molissed a game. The O line has been super healthy, but the skill guys have all had dings and weeks out all year.

We had a string of injuries at NT early with Reader & Tupou both down, and Wilson with the shoulder. The Chido went down. Now Hilton, Trey, Hubbard, and CTB. Bell & Bates, Pratt, Apple, and BJ Hill have been healthy (knock on wood), but everyonexelse has missed time. And Chido ain't coming back.
