I remember during and immediately after the preseason, many on here were worried about the Bengals struggles and how we might be lucky to finish with various good records. Then the Bengals played the first week and just marched to 8-0.
No one should be happy with last night's loss, HOWEVER, we're still 8-1. We only need to win like 4 of our last 7 games to win the division (and that's assuming Pittsburgh goes 7-0 in their last 7 games). Barring a total collapse, we will still make the playoffs and we will still have to deal with getting our first playoff win.
Most of the biggest whiners now are the ones that were only interested in a playoff victory anyways, so we should continue to ignore them.
I will say that I didn't like the loss, but I'm glad I don't have to worry anymore about "will they go undefeated all season". 'Cause if they went 16-0 in the regular season, the pressure to win a playoff game would magnify tenfold and the Bengals already are facing more pressure than ANYONE to win a playoff game.
