Did We get Lucky?

What would of our record been early this season if not for all those bombs to Chase that kept us in games?  Not good I'd bet.

Sure lucky... but I'm not wishing that kind of luck on our starting QB.  I do think without that injury we win that Washington game and perhaps 1-2 more. Which knocks us out of the Chase sweepstakes.

Honestly, that draft had some insane talent at the top.  Sewell and Chase were hotly debated, but guys like Pitts(2nd rookie TE in history to have a 1000 yard season), Waddle(Set the rookie record for receptions), Parsons, and Slater were also monsters their rookie years.  

Ultimately, the Bengals got the right guy for them.  That's extremely lucky.  It they were even one pick down the order, they likely wouldn't have.  They still would have gotten a great player in all likelihood, but they probably don't even make the playoffs, let alone have the playoff run they did.
