Getting destroyed week 1 I’d say is concerning. If it’s close either way I won’t personally read too much into it though positive or negative.
bengals started 2-3 last year but those 3 losses were by a combined total of 8 points. That’s a far cry from getting demolished by the browns haha I’d say their one seed chances took a huge hit with a divisional loss like that. It’s also never good that a division opponent has your number and the browns definitely seem to have the bengals’. So there are some week 1 results that could be an indicator of issues.
