People are Sleeping on us, and that's okay

People are still high on us, but there's too many outside variables for people to be comfortable with penning us in as the favorites to take down Kansas City.

If Burrow stays healthy,

If the O line can block better.

If the defense isn't as bad.

If you multiple pi by the square root of my girlfriend's ass.

Then maybe, maybe, the Bengals have a shot. It's almost like...it's the same vibes as the the 2021 season.

Honestly, I have tempered expectations going into the season, which is usually a recipe for me having a better time. When the Bengals exceeded my expectations time and time again in '21. it was the most fun I ever had as a Bengals fan. Honestly, I kind of miss those times.

Overall i was happy how we finished with Browning, we did not just fall apart, hopefully the defense rebuilds and we have a healthy Burrow but if we have to roll with Browning early I still think we can be competitive for a period of time before Burrow comes back
