On a scale of "plenty of time to turn this around" to "our season is hanging by a thread" to "we were never going to do anything anyway"? -

Ravens (next games @ Cowboys, vs Bills, @ Bengals)

Bengals (next games vs Commanders, @ Panthers, vs Ravens) 

Colts (next games vs Bears, vs Steelers, @ Jaguars) 

Jaguars (next games @ Bills, @ Texans, vs Colts)

Titans (next games vs Packers, @ Dolphins, BYE, vs Colts)

Broncos (next games @ Buccaneers, @ Jets, vs Raiders) 

Giants (next games @ Browns, vs Cowboys, @ Seahawks) 

Panthers (next games @ Raiders, vs Bengals, @ Bears) 

Rams (next games vs 49ers, @ Bears, vs Packers)

Ravens and Jags. Not looking good.

Very tough games coming up for Baltimore. Cowboys will be looking to respond after getting whooped. Bills look really good. There's a scenario where the Ravens are 0-4 when they travel to Cincy - who by then may have built momentum against Washington and Carolina.

Plenty of time for Jags to turn it around but low key rooting for it to bottom out.

Doug was needed to get them out of the mud but him and Press gotta go. Way too much talent on that offense to look the way it does. Just a bland, vanilla offense. One of the worst coached teams in the league.

If they don’t manage to take 2 of the next 3, changes could be coming soon.

Ravens, Jags, and Rams should be panicking.  They're already very close to ruined seasons.

Bengals have some weak teams coming up, and them vs. Ravens will dictate which one gets to salvage their season.

The rest of the teams I think didn't have particularly high expectations.  Like, the Titans' schedule isn't getting any better, but I'm certainly not panicking.

Ravens based solely on the next 3 games. If they don't go 2-1 in that span they could be in trouble. They still have a ton of winnable games on the schedule after that stretch but starting 1-4 may just be too much to climb out of. They'd probably have to go 5-1 in the division to do that.

Ravens should get 1-2 wins.

Bengals should have 2 wins

Colts probably win at least 1 of the next 3

Titals are kind of boned.

Broncos are too.

Giants are a bad team

Panthers look like a team taking the #1 pick next year.

Rams should be able to get back on track... but they're super banged up.

Ravens could very well start off 0-5 this year with the schedule we have. Even 1-4 would be virtually season-ending because it would force them to suddenly win-out in order to do anything this year.

Neglecting the offensive line like they did and hoping that a rookie and 2 unproven depth guys could just instantly step in and replace 3 starters was a massive mistake.

Not hitting panic but they’re tentatively looking over at the button every now and again.

The Bengals are frustrated but not near the panic button. A bad September? Sounds like par for the course for this team. They have two really bad teams on the block to get themselves back on track.

Not hitting the button, but also have their eye on it. I didn’t have Indy as a playoff team anyway.

They’re hitting panic. Offense looks flat and the competition isn’t getting easier these next few weeks. They can’t afford to start 1-4.

Panic, panic, panic. Will Levis is the new meme-able QB, and they’re losing games because of it. If Levis didn’t derp a couple times a game, this is probably a 2-0 football team. Wouldn’t surprise me if Will is the next QB to be benched.

Panic. Have no idea what happens with Payton next year. Nix isn’t looking good at all.

Panic if you’re Daboll. Do you survive picking top 5 next year?

Panic. Were the expectations low? Yep. Did they find a way to be even worse than that? Yep.

Not sure McVay ever panics, but he should be pressing the button. The injuries to the offense are crippling.

Only the Jags.  They had expectations, and are falling behind the Texans quickly.

The Bengals seem to start like this every year.  Baltimore has a tough stretch, but then the cupcakes start showing up, along with more home games.  Plus, Pitt closes with about the most brutal schedule I can remember in years.  So their hot start might not be enough down the stretch.

Why?  0-2 starts are a rite of passage around these parts.

Something feels off with the vibes this year. I honestly was hopeful coming into the season. Call it a gut feeling. Not a Joe Burrow injury that's the cause like last year.

Bad juju afloat.
