Does that look like a gauntlet to you? The road game against the Bills is the only game where we don't have a serious advantage. Take the history out of it, these teams look like shadows of their former selves. If 6-3 is all you're hoping for, we aren't as good as people think.
We would likely still be considered one of the better teams in the league with a record like 6-3.
Seattle's defense looks excellent and their offense is nothing to write off. The Steelers are never an easy W. The Bills are playing some great football this year. The Chiefs could be surprising but they're the 1 team that I do feel we should definitely stomp in this stretch.
With the way our schedule is set up, this year could look very streaky. Win 4 straight, lose 3 straight, go off on another few wins. It's not unrealistic that we lose 3 straight at some point but are still a very good team.
