After the 0-2 start 8-9 was stating to look like a big ask, but here we are with an outside chance to get the number one seed. Signs and wonders, indeed.
I don't like Saturday's game. Call it Bill Belichick Derangement Syndrome if you like, but that game worries me more than Buffalo or the Ratbirds. Maybe it's me reaching for the security blanket of homefield advantage. Regardless, if we get past Boogeyman Bill I believe we will win out and claim the number two seed, and that aint too shabby.
I sure don't like the injuries piling up, especially on the defensive side of the ball, but I think a lot of our nerves on games like this is just the PTSD from the teams of Bengals past. I'm not going to get in to a Marv/Zac debate, but this team just seems different and I think the graphic shown during the game said something to the effect of "Joe Burrow is 9-1 in the last two Dec/Jan time periods". The only loss being the Super Bowl. Heck, he might have been 10-0 since the Super Bowl might have been in Feb?
Regardless, this is his time of the year, and he has the best line he has had in front of him as a pro. I have full faith that he and the team will keep the run alive. That #1 seed will likely need some help, but wow...that would be HUGE.
