The thing that i notice is from the beginning of the season its just one excuse after another why this team isn't playing well.
-Its not the offensive line, its how good the defensive line is
-Its last years Super bowl winning team, they are that good even though their rookie QB produced a throwing record against our stout defense
-Its the Steelers, they always get the best of us
-Hey Im not giving up on our O-Line they can do it
-Ok maybe not last week but this week our O-Line can do it (just keep repeating this excuse throughout the remainder of the season)
-Were 3-4, we are going to win the division because Ben is hurt. (btw have you seen how easy the rest of the Steelers schedule is? And they put up a closer game against the Pats with a backup QB...but then again, that's their excuse!)
Do the top teams in the NFL have as many excuses for why their team doesn't perform up to standards like the Bengals? No, those teams get it done. There are no excuses, every team has injuries, every team has bad calls against them(except the Steelers and thats another thread), every team has rookies who have huge growing pains. Hell every team has a head coach who has been with the same team for over a decade and are 0-7 in the play....ummmm actually scratch that last one.
Bottom line is win. No excuses because if you really believe this team is that good and still "has a chance" to do anything, expect them to step for the rest of this season and prove that they are a top NFL team that can play with the best of them.
Just don't hold your breath
Sounds like you have your own excuse already.
