Day before Christmas Eve, too many other things to do. No time to watch Steelers celebrate all 2nd half. The Chiefs game, I will be surprised if I'm not turning that one off early also, again with better things to do than watch Chiefs celebrate all 2nd half.
Now the Browns in Cincinnati THE JUNGLE could be a Bengals win. I don't care no play-offs, Beat Browns anyway.
I don't feel that bad after loss to Steelers. Probably because when Burrow was lost for rest of season, many said Bengals would not win another game. Bengals did indeed win 3 more games and stayed in play-off hunt up until Dec 23rd. Also Bengals went to Super Bowl and then AFC Championship 2 straight years, so we have had our day in the Sun and better luck next year.
No Burrow, No Chase, No Win. Browning has been playing good enough, but Steelers threw a zone defense that our pretty much rookie quarterback was confused by. Browning made some stupid mistakes and played like a rookie in his first games. Throwing the ball into a crowd of Steelers early in the game instead of taking the field goal next play is a stupid rookie mistake. Still, Bengals won 3 games with him, so he did better than expected.
Much to do, too little time. After the Holidays is this Browns at Cincinnati THE JUNGLE. Bengals could win and avoid the AFC NORTH SWEEP. 9 wins wouldn't be bad, all things considered. I know some say injuries are no excuse, but the fact is The Bengals had way too many key injuries in 2023. They were kind of healthy when they beat the 49ers and the Bills. It shows when their Super Bowl players were on the field, they were good, but their Super Bowl players were injured way too many games in 2023 from start to finish. So I really don't feel that bad, better luck next season and maybe we will see more of the players that beat 49ers and Bills in 2024.
As for Steelers, they better enjoy it now, because they aren't going to play-offs either. At 8-7, they would have to win out against a tough schedule and hope other teams lose and it ain't happening. Yesterday is as good as it gets for Steelers, no play-offs for them either.
GO BENGALS
No DJ Reader, no Cam Taylor Britt, no DJ Ivey.... injuries are just becoming too numerous in too many places.
