In any case, they’ve got the 49ers and Bills the next two weeks. A short “break” against a feisty Texans team and then they play on the road at Baltimore. We’ll have a better idea of what they’re about a month from now.
I've just seen them be able to take it on the road in the past. I knwo this is a different iteration of that but until they're out of it, I'm kinda keeping my eye on em. [Reply]

Geno was harassed, yes - but a smart coaching staff takes advantage of that aggression and helps Smith out. Pete Carroll ain't that guy.
They should've lost yesterday and would've lost to probably 2/3 of the teams in the league (the Jets, for instance, would've beaten them by 10). That OL just destroys everything they're trying to do on offense. [Reply]

It's quite possible. I didn't get to watch much of it, but was listening some on my drive home.
I try not to derive too much from week to week stuff, but the league this year....it's pretty set up for KC. [Reply]

We should absolutely be in the SB again. The Bills are the only major threat I see.
Yes, for now.
But things can change fast in the NFL.
Any one of these three teams could get hot late and be a tough, tough out. Burrow hurt and Bengals look weaker overall esp on defense
Burrow has looked healthier and their younger new pieces are coached by Lou who always gives us problems.
Ravens look like a mirage
New offensive system but if they start to figure it out and get a few more guys healthy one of the few teams who have personnel to remove Kelce and then we have to beat them with ?????
Dolphins have no defense and Tua is a system guy
They have talent and Fangio. If they get Ramsey back and start actually playing (lack of effort often seen when I check in on them) then their offense doesn't need anything other than get the ball out to speed, speed, speed.
Again, not saying we should not be favored but because of our lack of weapons we are going to make this closer than we need it to be if 1 or 2 teams gets hot at the right time.
Right now our offense is entirely dependent on a 34 year old Tight End who has been banged up a lot the last two years. [Reply]
