Our 2-6 record (over the last 2 seasons) in these games has kept this team from earning a BYE and it made us a road WC team last year instead of a division winner. You also can't help but wonder if the reason Marv is 8-19 in prime-time is the same reason he's 0-6 in the playoffs.
Yup. Night games are usually against good competition. They're played at a time other than what players are used to. Just like the playoffs.
How you play against good teams in prime time is usually how you're going to play against good teams in the playoffs.
If the Bengals had around a .500 record in prime time, there'd be no need to get all brain gooey.
Since they are so inept in prime time, the brain goo is appropriate because it does nothing to predict a positive outcome for the team that sucks in prime time, when the playoffs come around--or even during those prime time games against good teams.
