It's why I honestly didn't want burrow playing all these reps in the preseason risking injury. I didn't think it would make a difference although I understand why they tired it. And honestly they got the w and if they destroy the jags maybe there is something to it. It's just really weird. He reminds me so much of Brady and I believe he's the best. So it's just bizarre. The pats game last year was completely ridiculous. I remember the Allen game vs the jets opening night in 23. I swear I thought Allen did about 3 lines of coke before the game lmfao. That was absolutely brutal. Allen had a brutal game vs the jags in 21 losing 9-6 lol. It's not as surprising to me with Allen because he always will have a little variance and that devil on his shoulder. Burrow is extremely poised, on time, patient. So it's just more surprising to me when burrow is off like that. The burrow game I remember watching that was one of the best I've seen the past few years was vs the 49ers in 23. Absolutely a work of art from the QB position.

I'm honestly out of answers on why the Bengals and specifically Joe burrow on week 1 looks so off. I honestly can't explain it anymore, it's extremely bizarre. My only guess is, and this probably doesn't even make sense, is that because burrow and the offense is such a timing based offense it takes a couple games to get into a rhythm. I don't get it tho Regardless I do think the Bengals and Burrow come out on fire and play to their real abilities, especially the passing game. Bengals 34 Jags 17

Cincinnati is going to win the division brother. You can never really put too much into week 1. Coaches have been game planning all year, there's new pieces and teams are rusty. I believe Cincinnati has the true star power to win especially in high leverage moments in the playoffs. If buffalo plays Cincy I think buffalo would need a game from Allen like tonight and a couple turnovers A division win is huge which is why I'm more concerned with beating the jets next week for my bills. The jets look good

I've always said Allen is this eras Elway. Pretty lucky win for my bills. Bengals had a tough division game today but they got the w and that's all that matters. Burrow is still the best qb in the NFL imo and I think the bills vs Bengals are playing for the 1 seed in December. Bengals are still my favorite Week 1 is always weird

Hendrickson & Stewart are going to be flying off the edge Chase is my dark horse MVP although burrow would probably get it and deserves it. You guys know I'm a bills fan and I think Allen is great but I think burrow has been the best qb in the NFL since 21. I think this is the year for Cincinnati and I'm rooting for you guys If buffalo can't get it this year. So happy football is back

Opening day is always weird and I don't put much into it even though as fans we will That being said Cincinnati is my super bowl pick. I've said as a bills fan burrow is the best qb in the NFL and has been since 2021. I get the sense he's on a mission and the Bengals will have a historical year. Bengals 44 Browns 20

I understand you're being funny but seriously I think this is your year. The Bengals look pissed off

The Bengals are going to obliterate Cleveland opening day bro. Like 44-17

What's your opinion on the eagles? Their trenches are elite and have depth. Are you picking the eagles to represent the NFC again?

If Newton, Ivey and Turner struggle id seriously consider signing Gilmore.

The interior oline looked solid. Fairchild looks like a star. I think when the Bengals come to Buffalo it will be for the one seed. My problem with buffalo is I don't know if they have the elite perimeter talent at corner on defense or at wr on offense to keep up with Cincinnati. And if Allen has an off day it's basically over. In order for buffalo to get past a KC or Cincinnati, a few things have to happen 1. Someone on the defensive line has to emerge as a game wrecker. Could be the rookies, could be bosa staying healthy, maybe Rousseau breaks out as a 15 sack guy. But someone has to emerge as a true difference maker 2. Tre White has to stay healthy but hairston or strong as rookies need to emerge as man cover cbs who can help buffalo with specific matchups like a Cincinnati 3. Keon Colemani or Kincaid has to emerge as a true number 1 option or at least have a breakout season If buffalo even wins the one seed, I think buffalo will need a turnover or two to get past KC or Cincinnati in the playoffs. Or maybe a return for a TD. I personally don't quite see it. I just think KC and Cincinnati have those 2-3 difference makers buffalo doesn't have. But maybe Allen can elway it. Elway took some good not great bronco teams to the Superbowl

I'm not concerned about the defense because a lot of the starters including the starting CBS weren't playing. Regardless for my pick to manifest, I don't need the Bengals defense to be great, they could even be slightly below avg. I think it will be enough with what I think will be a 2007 patriots level offense Burrow is the best qb in the NFL.

I just don't like the idea that the Bengals are going to be playing their starters a lot longer in the preseason. If it was a team still trying to establish itself sure. But the Bengals are legitimate contenders and I don't buy the idea that there is any causation between playing in the preseason and starting fast or slow.

Good to hear daxton hill is back. He's an incredible athlete. The national media doesn't understand how many guys on the Bengals defense are either rookies, or going into their 2nd and 3rd yrs. There's going to be growth and a big jump in development...

The Bengals are a legit top tier top 3 contender in the AFC Chiefs - until proven otherwise mahomes is incredible Bengals - burrow reminds me of Brady and has been the best qb in the NFL since 21 imo. Bills - solid roster with this eras elway at QB. Defense has to show up in the playoffs.... Next tier is Baltimore and Houston imo. NFC is a different landscape with lesser QBs imo but the eagles are obviously stacked and possibly the best roster. Hurts is underrated
