Well, you certainly didn't. That was my point.

Going into it we were convinced the secret to success was handing the ball to Hill constantly. Fast forward to the end of that playoff game and the general consensus was handing the ball to Hill was quite obviously THE reason we lost.
I've just never seen an off-season narrative blow up so amazingly.
Hill went from being certain success to being certain failure. Man oh man. Welp, Mixion might be what we thought Hill was. Ida know. I have a bad feeling about hoping a rookie is going to not only be great, but turn the decades-long tide of futility against a division rival for us. Hope springs eternal!

Mix on may very well be everything Brad thinks he will be, but if you can be wrong about Hill, you can be wrong about him too. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

It's just reaching for smack talk when you have to bring up the prospect of a guy who hasn't even played in the NFL yet being THE reason the tide is going to turn. You may as well just say that TJ Watt is going to sack Dalton 6 times per game.

Cincinnati/Pittsburgh
Baltimore
Cleveland
Your likely to win the 1st contest.

1. Steelers (10-12 wins)
2/3. Ravens/Bengals (6-9 wins)
4. Cleveland (3-5 wins)

They're rarely bad 2 years in a row, and they were in the playoff race till the end.
