Not too early for Number 1 Seed talk...

i hate that we have the bye this early. this makes for a long stretch without a break and then the playoffs if we get there. the NFL always seems to screw us with these early byes. all of them should start to happen at near the halfway point and after.

 

While they might be getting some players back they are also trading players from that defense. All is not well in Bmore.

 

We had a mid season bye last season and still lost our last 5. The bye is helpful where it is at right now because we are getting some players back post bye and will have one less week without Ramsey or Austin. We will have the bye a week and a half before the only Thursday night game on the schedule (which should help with injuries, hopefully). I think its fine enough where its at. Would the players have preferred it later? Maybe. But it allows us to regroup from an early slow-ish start on both sides of the ball and make improvements (while getting healthier). I don't mind where its at tbh

 

This is exactly what I was thinking. The Browns will not be easy. They have an excellent defense. The offense got better when they benched Flacco. The Steelers are the better team, but not by much.

 

From what I've been reading about his injury that 3 month minimum is just that. An absolute minimum. It's more than likely a season ending injury

 

As will I.
