When Eifert, Jones, Hill, Bernard, Green and the O-line are healthy, this team can put up 30 on anybody.
The bottom line is this - this team IS good enough to win the Super Bowl. It will come down to how well they play. If they play mistake free football and play to their strengths, they can and will beat anyone.
I agree with all but one part.
In the past the margin of error was slight so any mistake was magnified. This team is proving they can make mistakes and overcome them. I can't recall any team playing perfect games in the playoffs all the way to the Super Bowl, mistakes will be made as they are human and the other teams are pros also, I feel we are better equipped than ever to overcome.
The Seahawks and Ravens games both proved it. The great thing was the Seattle game, our defense regrouped and shut down the Hawks which allowed the offense to get us back into the game. The offense overcame defensive TD's (does not get much worse than that for adversity) and we won anyway.
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.
