I am confident in the talent level of the team.
But none of that really matters if your QB doesn't have time to throw, your Oline can't open holes for your RBs and your WRs can't make up the difference with quick routes that generate separation off the snap.
Our defense looks really strong though and will only get better when Burfict returns.
We still have an outside chance at making the playoffs if 1. Ogbuehi drastically improves (he won't) or 2. Ogbuehi is replaced with someone who is merely "serviceable" I.E. gives up a pressure/sack only half the time, rather than every single snap.
Maybe we could swing a trade for Duane Brown who is holding out in Houston
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
