We will miss Yanda. Hopefully also dobbins provides a good safety valve for us. We should have lots of screen plays to him.

Im guessing skura just benefited a lot playing right next to Yanda and wont be effective anymore.

No preseason i doubt has any effect. They still had camp.

It is very encouraging, however, that our line can get their asses kicked and we win 38-6 and our QB is offensive player of the week.

They did not look great once Stanley left the game, but presumably he will be back. I think this is going to pop up all season. That said, it has been a while since Skura took live reps, and he especially would suffer from the lack of a preseason, so I'm not ready to say he's cooked yet.

yanda made everyone better and skura is also coming off of tearing the trio in his knee

If we can hang with the saints offense somewhat I'll call that a win


The saints offense is a little smoke and mirrors.

Im not really meaning to complain as I think we have a beast of a team here--i just can't help but see the weaknesses that i think will sink us.

Honestly i can see us doing our thing this year where we're like 11-5 but go on a playoff tear. I think we will struggle at points this yr despite having a great team. Maybe not if we can get dobbins going

I'm pretty sure if Brees has all day to throw it's going to be a bad time

it is really hard to find 5 losses on the ravens schedule this year. the 3rd best team we play is the... cowboys?

If our line struggles like that we will drop several. Again I'm not saying we are bad at all just when you're weak up front like that which we are both on O and D right now, it can cause problems. We just need them to be ok in the playoffs.

Wow, someone is overlooking the Steelers. Have to figure they'll be in the mix with ageless wonder Ben "Matt Patricia" Roethlisberger.

I think it's way too early to write most teams off as not having a chance.

Last year their defense legit kept them in games and playoff contention with trash bags playing QB, if Ben isn't completely done they are going to be difficult opponents period, not even considering the rivalry.

Unless RG3 and the Gus Bus decide to style on them once again :smugbird:

Every Bengals game I rub my wife's head for injury luck and she's working tonight and I can't do it. When Burrow breaks his back tonight you'll know why.

Wait, this is something you've been doing? Like in previous seasons? If so this tactic maybe doesn't work as well as you think it does.

wish you would have gotten to rub that wife on the noggin. the other TEs are too slow to get 3 yards past the LOS before Burrow has to throw it

sorry for bumping this. i didn't see what the thread was. I'm sorry
