I know that it's dangerous to play the "what if" game, but if Palmer hadn't gotten injured, where would the Bengals have ended up that year? If Andy doesn't go down with the thumb injury leading up to the 2015 playoffs, I felt confident that that team was destined for the big game. That 2015 defense was freaking awesome!
Sunset, you are aggravating deep wounds here my friend.
I still believe there was only one Team standing in our way to SB in 2005, the Colts. Carson was going to bomb the hell out of Steelers that day, and they knew it. We had just beaten them in Pittsburgh 4 weeks earlier, dropping 38 points on them.
And yes, 2015 was the year we had built up for. That Team started at 8-0 and was the most complete group of Marvin era. Then the thumb injury......
