Obviously all NFL games are difficult and a glance at the Bengals schedule shows games 1 - 6 are a gauntlet to start the season.  But games 1 - 4 for me are of the most important, mainly due to our injury situation.  If we can somehow come out of this stretch 3-1 I think we'll be off an running.  Burfict will be back, Eifert should be close, our 2 injured O-lineman will hopefully both be back in the mix adding depth.

This is just one of those fluky years where we open with 2 straight on the road, one against a divisional foe, and we're not at full strength.  If we can just weather the storm and not get anymore critical injuries (fingers crossed) I like our chances.

Thoughts?

Honestly without Burfict and Eifert, I would be happy to come out of that 2 - 2.
