And what is "late" in your eyes?
To me, late is September, or late August at the earliest.
The last time I could find a "late push" where the team hovered around .500 midway through the year was 25 years ago when they were 66-66 on Aug 30 and ended up 9 games above .500 by the end, then went into a tiebreaker game with STL and lost, missing the playoffs.
Man, that takes an incredible amount of faith and hope to believe something will happen that hasn't occurred in 25 years for this franchise.
I'm not that kinda person.
I always look at recent trends and bank my predictions/expectations off that.
Probably why I'm usually so miserable when it comes to sports lol.
Yeah, late Aug thru Sept. I'm not banking on it, just be nice to see for once, as you said, since it hasn't happened in a while. Hadn't happened in a while for the Bengals either up to that time.
It's more me trying to stay somewhat optimistic with a recent example of a Cincy sports team's performance. NGL, it probably won't happen though.
