We won't care about how we played in this game, if we're in the postseason. Was a must win game, and we won. We have absolutely got to improve on the field to stand a chance, but at least we're giving ourselves meaningful games to do so.

A win is a win is a win.

But can't beat good teams playing like this today.

Texans lose.

Whatever floats your boat homie.

At the risk of being pessimistic after a W (and Nicomo making fun of me, though I swear I am not crying, I just got dirt in my eye)... our wins have come against the 1-5 (soon to be 1-6) Panthers, 2-5 Giants, and 1-6 Browns.

The only "easy" games left for us over the final 10 are the Browns and the Raiders.

Oh ye had little faith.. I knew we were gonna win. I missed over half the game..

Wins float my boat. I’m weird like that.

This^ and none of them were easy or impressive.

That isn't pessimistic, that's realistic. 

Our schedule so far has been pretty 'easy' and we're 3-4. For the most part, we haven't looked good in any of those 7 games.

We don't look like a playoff team, or all that near, right now. 

The positive part is we won the game and we're still in the hunt. Absolutely got to improve, but the season was done if we hadn't won today.

Offense has crapped the bed twice in a row against good defenses. At least the D did what they were supposed to do against bad offenses.

I’m happy. Still don’t like what I see from this team offensively and I don’t hold out much hope for the playoffs, but wins in this league are always good.

Of course I only got snippets of info. To be clear, we had a kick return TD then just 14 more points? Watson got hurt at some point. I saw one note where two defenders got hurt. Stone and someone? Did the defense look good? I mean 14 points I assume, but I know the bend a thousand but not break defense we do all the time.

Fair point.

Making this more of a head-scratcher …

We also lost to the Chiefs by 1pt on a bs call and to the Rat Turds in OT (should’ve won that one too)…and the Commanders we lost a close one to - will be 5-2 in 2 hours.

We are a bizarre team. Never know which one will show up.

Not on the initial replay angle. But I saw on the 2nd one.

People will find anything to ***** about. The defense finally is playing good in these last 2 wins. Bengals offense scored on a very tough defense. KO return for a TD

Would you prefer we just lose to these teams we beat?? So you can puff your chest out?

Where did I even come close to suggesting that? Also why would that make me puff my chest out? This post is some real weird jumps of logic.
