Meh, expectations change.  Anything short of winning the SB this year is a disappointment.  I said that going into the season, and I really stand by it now that we don't look quite as bad as we did when losing to Mitch Trubisky and I can't even recall who the Cowboy's backup QB was.

I said this before, it used to bug me that Steelers fans were so smug and spoiled that they could say "I don't worry about the games until the playoffs start" but now I can say that about the Bengals.  We are the fortunate ones, now biotches!

So I guess our slow start was a nothingburger.  I'd rather this team not make a habit of this, but meh...I guess we're just safe expecting that AFC North crown and a season that we don't need to sweat until the playoffs.


SMUG FAN TAKE - nothing matter for the Bengals until the playoffs, and I don't even care if we are the 7th seed because we clearly can win on the road.  The first 17 weeks of the season were just pre-season.
