The last thread is over 300 comments so mad a new one. Bengals thankfully get to the bye week at 3-3, anything worse and the season may have been over before it really got started. Storylines the rest of the way:
- Schedule-The next 4 games are brutal before we finish on a very easy stretch. We have @49ers, Bills, Texans, @Baltimore. Really need to find a way to go 2-2 in order to stay alive in this tough division. After that group you have Steelers, @Jags, Colts, Vikings, @Steelers. If this team gets hot that could be 5 wins rattled off in a row.
- Division-AFC North is strong this year. At 3-3 we are in last, we would be second in every other division.
- Rookies-Myles Murphy hasn't done much to start the year but the rest of the class is doing well. DJ Turner and Jordan Battle look like they can be quality long time starters. Charlie Jones and Iosivias have looked like decent contributers.
- Pending Free agents- Tee Higgins has struggled going into a free agency year. On pace for his worst year, would be interesting if he takes a cheaper deal because of this. DJ Reader continues to be the best run stuffer in the league. Jonah Williams has been surprisingly solid at RT.
