Being only marginally better than last season? Worthy likely has a higher ceiling and more potential than Hardman but he is unlikely, at least for now, to be a 6-8 target a game guy as an option on the majority of passing plays. Rice is better than Rice last season so that's good. Kelce is probably worst though.
But mostly what I’m fearful about is that losing Brown is going to be a major impediment to the offense being noticeably better than last season. He was likely big in our schemes and philosophy. I know we typically struggle vs the Bengals but as of right now I'm not sure what would make me confident we dramatically improve over last season.
What does everyone think? How can we ensure the significant improvement over last season that it seems we might need? [Reply]

10 of their points were on a short field. Defense won this game. [Reply]
I didn't get to watch the whole game. But I can honestly say...I always felt like we were going to win. Got a bit dicey at the end with the penalties, but they legit did the PI to put us in FG range.
At the end of the day, this team just wins. It's not always pretty, and teams like the Bungholes and the Ravens are our biggest competition. They are built to beat us. And they both lost.
We'll be fine. We always heat up at the end of the season (last Christmas notwithstanding.) [Reply]
