I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

Mediocre OL/weak D/one standout offensive weapon = top 5 team?
They'll be fine.
I could explain the logic, but i've actually already done it many times and i don't feel like re-stating it right now. So let's go with they'll be fine and you'll just have to trust me. [Reply]

I trusted you the last two years and look where it got me... [Reply]

To the AFC Championship game where they lost by a FG and Burrow playing like an elite QB last year when he was healthy?
The only way the Bengals falter is if Burrow is injured. He still has a hump to get over when he's healthy though. If he's healthy this year and they don't get the job done, then i have to believe it's not going to happen. [Reply]

Did they fix their OL issues? As much as they can anyway, I realize that they still have Brown. And what's the word in Burrow's wrist? I saw part of a podcast a couple months ago and he seemed completely relaxed about it, but I was curious what the official word was. [Reply]

The wrist seems to be a nonstory. He's been working out and doing normal things for a couple months now.
Oline fixed? We'll see. They have 3 massive--and at least decent--tackles. Karras and Cappa are above average. Volson is not good but he's going into year 3 so we'll see if he has any growth at all. I will say that i'm not at any kind of 'worried' stage in regards to the line, right now.
This is Burrow's 5th training camp and he has yet to have anything close to a "normal" one in the previous four. [Reply]

Good to hear about his wrist. Some of the initial predictions were kind of bleak. [Reply]
Bengals QB Joe Burrow’s wrist will “NEVER be the same,” per discussion with my Cincinnati source this morning.
“Joe’s surgery in LA was not to fix his injury, but to make sure the bone grows correctly. Joe will always be at risk of injury because his bone has to grow back and that could take two years. His playing will all be off of risk.”
