If you rewatch the Ravens game we looked horrible. Specifically the second half. Actually we looked bad all the way up til the 4th and 12 play. The Ravens blew that game.
I wasn't all that impressed with the Detroit win. That was more to do with their inept D coordinator.
I understand the coulda/woulda stuff. We coulda/woulda been 10-6 if the ball bounced our way. Yes. But nobody lost more games by a TD or less then the Browns and that didn't really help them in the ratings or national perception.
Like most have said, these "experts" have been pro Bengal and burned a lot during the Dalton/Green era. Top 12 on power rankings for a record 5 years. The team will have to earn the trust from the media again.
I wasn't impressed with last years Bengals. I'm happy they won the last two games don't get me wrong, but the wins hurt significantly as the cover up for all the real underlying problems the team had/has were (obviously) forgotten. It saved Marvin's job, which means even on our best days (or great years) we won't be able to beat the Steelers, win in prime time, or win a playoff game. And that's why we must not lose focus on what this team really needs to take that next step, and likely why pundits aren't sold.
