Our Best Hope is 0-4

Every year, this same thing happens.  Every year, the first week is chaos.  Some teams look horribly ill-prepared.  Shitty teams look like world-beaters.  Everyone over-reacts to small sample
sizes.  Every year, we find out no one
can predict shit, except teams with Elite QBs usually do well.   Furthermore,
after every loss the sky is falling, and after every win, maybe we’re not so
bad.


One thing I feel highly confident about.  Zimmer has never been worse than 7-9.  I don’t see us improving the roster by this
much and still being worse than that.  I
don’t care which teams look unbeatable right now.  Some of them will get injured.  Some of them will just suck.  Other easy wins will rise out of nowhere and
be fairly good.  The margin between
winning and losing any given Sunday is very small, and you can’t predict how
that shakes out.

...and the teams who are expected to be bad look much better on week 1 than they really are. If you were to ask me who the worst teams in the NFL are, I would've said New Orleans, Houston and Detroit. All three looked pretty good yesterday. After a few weeks it typically evens out. I would be very surprised if any of those teams are contenders in 10 weeks. I would also be surprised if Green Bay, Minnesota, Buffalo and Tennessee were not.

"Zimmer has never been worse than 7-9." That is a ringing endorsment if I ever heard one! This offense is often unprepared and out of sync. The next 3 weeks bring top notch opponents. We could easily be 1-5 going into the bye.

I was particularly impressed with how Zimmers D came out fired up after half..... and promptly gave up a 75 yard drive ending in 7 more points for the bengals.
