Cautiously optimistic.
I thought 2005 WAS the turn around and Palmer goes down and Pittsburgh goes on to win the SB.
I thought again in 2015 it WAS the turn around and Dalton breaks his thumb.
Even with Dalton out, it appears they have the playoff game won . . BUT the other shoe drops and they Bungle it away!
2021? Cautiously optimistic and after 30 years of egg laying and shoe dropping, so, yes, I'm cautiously optimistic.
It won't come to pass until they make the playoffs and the playoff game clock reaches 00:00 with the Bengals at least 1 point ahead and o yellow or red flags on the field!
I still understand these thoughts even if I feel different about this team.
We have too much history to not take these things into account. Different team though this year, we can run it as long as we
stay healthy and we can stop the run and we can make plays on Defense to turn games in our direction. This is even if the
worst happens and Burrow goes down. We will see how we play the Chargers Sunday. One game at a time.
I am damn optimistic after this bye though and can't lie.
