I will say Kevin, I do admire your optimism with this team. I'm not being sarcastic there either, fair play.
To add something to the topic, yep if we can beat the Raiders and then beat the Ravens, we're back at 500 and there would be some scope to believe again. On paper, we should beat the Raiders and we should already have beaten the Ravens, so it's not obscene to suggest this is possible.
My lack of optimism is more centred around the fact that we have looked like a poor football team for half of this season, and our wins are all against bad teams. We don't play many bad teams from here on out, and only have room to lose two more games at most. We still have Ravens, Steelers, Steelers, Browns (not a good team, but we generally struggle with them and Winston > Watson), Chargers. Cowboys are Cowboy-ing but aren't a bad team. Broncos are 5-3 as well. There isn't anything I've seen so far that suggests we're running through all of those teams. But I will agree that the Bengals have to be considered as 'in the picture' if we win the next two.
