Prime time Game = 1 Loss or 1 Win
A Non Prime Time Game = 1 Loss or 1 Win
(Excluding Divisional Win or Loss) It appears if a Team has a record of 3 and 2 and lets say they play the Prime Time Game and Win this would mean 4-2. Now if they lost this game they would be 3-3. (I hope everyone is keeping up with my math here) Now if a Team is 3 and 2 and they play a Non Prime Time game and lets say they win, they would be 4-2, and if they play that same game mind you but Lose they would be 3-3. Well Fred, it appears you are just flat out wrong. Prime time games count as Many Games Rolled into 1.
Good points, but that is not the way the crowd thinks around here.
Most people around here treat ALL prime time games like they are much more important than any other game. And when we lose a prime time game it is treated like a much WORSE loss than any other regular season game. The prime time record has become the "go to" argument for the haters because it is one of the few things they have left. Whenever I point out how much success the Bengals have had recently I always get the "What about primetime?!" rant. But for some reason when we win a prime time game these same people give it a "Meh, no big deal."
I guarantee that if we had lost last Thursday night many people here would be losing their minds because it was a ANOTHER PRIMETIME LOSS.
