Nobody supports Zac on here more than me lol but I don’t like his preseason plan. Of course another game to go. I just don’t see anything wrong with playing the first team a quarter and establishing the run game w/o Burrow. Injuries a part of the game. Anybody could get hurt the first game. What’s the difference? The first few games are just as critical.

Slow starts can really affect the seeding, or even making the playoffs at all.
Luckily for the Bengals last year, it was just the former.
Had they beaten the Steelers and Cowboys, we could have been looking at the 1 seed for the Bengals.
Ultimately though, I guess it really didn't matter since the Bengals got to the AFCCG, but getting the top seed is always nice, IMO.
