Absolutely produced with the toughest schedule in the NFL for that stretch with 6 of the 8 playoff teams. Red letter performance. And everybody but you on this board will agree with me.
We both agree that the Bengals got hot for 6 wins in our last 8 games.
The difference is that you think those six wins mean we were a great team while I look at all 20 games.
Plus even when we were "hot" we won half of our games on the last play of the game with one of them requiring a 3rd-and-27 conversion. And in 2 other one-score wins (Den, LV) the opposing team turned the ball over inside their own 10 yard line in the 4th quarter.
We were far from a great team. We gave up a lot of yards and needed a lot of breaks to win by the skin of our teeth.
