I'd be more worried if this team hadn't gone 10-5-1 without Eifert, Burfict and many others in 2014.
Maybe it's time for us to accept that the Bengals are one of the better run organizations in football, and it's going to take more than just a couple injuries to ruin a season. Just like how the Pats would win without Gronk, we can (and have) won without Eifert.
We're actually 12-6-1 without Eifert since we drafted him, and have averaged 23.9 ppg in those games...and that's also including a bunch of other players we've been missing during that span, including Dalton.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
