Well, yeah. Everyone wants to beat us, and everyone loves knocking off the SB winners a little more. But you're probably right, I'm not sure how much it moves the needle given most teams were pretty motivated to try and put us our place.
One other thing I was looking at was how our main rivals are likely to fare. I feel like predictions of the Bills demise might be a little premature but they have a pretty tough schedule too and their OL still looks s**t.
Dolphins schedule is tough and I don't know if you can trust Tua to hold up. Plus it feels like this year teams will have worked out ways to stifle the mega-speed and movement of Waddle and Hill.
Bengals schedule looks baby soft to me, but we'll see. Steelers have improved, Ravens finally have weapons and if Watson remembers how to play QB that's a good roster with a massively improved DL. I don't think those teams have a QB to offer a proper threat, but hopefully they can at least beat the Bengals up a bit.
Who else is there?
