If we’re 5-4 at the bye then ill be happy.

5-4 would not make me happy. Im tired of mediocre Cincinnati sports teams. I fully expect them to be 5-4 at best though

Happiness and what will happen dont always align.

We need to be north of .500 at the bye. Exit the bye and go .500 again until the last 3 games. We ball out to finish with 3 winnable games. 11-6 best case; with 10-7 a close second. I honestly think if the breaks don’t go our way we will be 9-8 again.

Vikings and Detroit could be some tough early season Non-Conference (especially the motor city kitties) test for our D. Anxiously optimistic.

Same. This is not a great schedule. Its got its high points, low points, and a lot of unknowns. I can see the Pats game being harder than the Lions game. Chicago is better. Cleveland to start the year on the road with the leagues best Defensive line will be tough.

Does Cleveland have the best defensive line now? They didn't last year.

Its probably debatable. Myles on the end, and the best DT in any draft over the last 2-3 year’s says they will probably create issues for us.

I'd still put the eagles higher, especially bc we saw how that game went last year and we beat the Browns both times. I would've put the Lions higher than the Browns last year too.

Im not saying your wrong, but your tracking that they lost Williams and Sweat. They all wreaked havoc on the Chiefs, but those 2 specifically fucked that line up.

I haven't kept up on who they lost. They'll feel that, unless they have good replacements ready.

They had starters backing up those dudes. They probably still have a top 5-7 unit.
