Given how bad Burrow was injured, 3-3 is not an optimal spot to be in, but it is the best spot we could be in all things considered.
A couple of rays of hope: first, Joe is more mobile, and can move much better, hopefully helping our offensive line by allowing for more rollouts, moving the pocket, etc. Second, I really don't think Tee will continue to be this bad all year. He also gets a bye week to help his ribs heal. Third, Jordan Battle gets a week better, and perhaps beats out Scott for the job and elevates the level of play at that position. As for the TE, there's no easy fix there apart from one of the backups showing they can play consistently and actually catch the ball. Again, I'm kind of pinning my hopes of Tee having a resurgence to mitigate not having a threat at TE.
I too have my doubts but I think that for sure after SF/Buffalo we will be in a much better spot to evaluate the team's potential for long-term success this year.
Definitely will know more by the first Sunday in November
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.
