I was optimistic after our first few wins. But it's fair to look at what happened to us vs Saints and KC, and just admit that this team isn't going to make too much noise.
The "anything is possible" crowd will jump in and defend it, but the NFL is still predictable at times. It's not hard to imagine who would win in a CIN vs NE game in New England.
Well, we do have games vs the Browns and Broncos next on the slate. I could easily see us at 7-5 and back in the playoff hunt after those 2 weeks. That said...this team will be in store for epic embarrassment (yet again) should they stumble into the playoffs.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
