This comment on PFT made me feel better

Quote:Fellow Bengals fans need to come off the ledge:

We’re hosting a Playoff Game regardless.

We lost by 3 in OT on the road, in Denver (literally the toughest atmosphere), to another really good team, with our QB making his 2nd start against the #1 defense.

And I’m sure everyone will point to history recently, but be real with yourselves:

2011: No business being in playoffs, were major underdog against Houston.
2012: Best defense of this era, but offense still stunk and were legit underdog on road and narrowly lost.
2013: This was the choke job, plain and simple.
2014: Mohammed Sanu, Cobi Hamilton and Greg Little flanked out wide…enough said.

This year’s team is the best team overall. The Dalton injury is horrible timing but if McCarron can nearly win last night, I give him a legit good chance against a lesser defense at home with Eifert back. Who knows, maybe Dalton comes back WC round…seems unlikely but not impossible. Win 1 game as the favorite should and watch this team make a push for Super Bowl.

Get off the ledge…at least we don’t root for Cleveland.
