Those shirts mean nothing now.  BEngals can't claim best team in the AFC North if they lost to Steelers in play-offs and lost 2 of the 3 games. .......So the 8-0 start just blew up and crashed and burned. Another one and done. ....Hopefully 2016 will be better, but September is a long way off as I type this day after Super Bowl.

Well, that's pretty pessimistic but I can't disagree.  As easily as we claim Dalton's injury derailed our Super Bowl run we have to remember the Steelers and Ravens were facing some significant injuries which may very well have helped us win the division in the first place.

Thems the breaks.  Injuries happen, so I try not to harp on it too much because it's hard to go the entire season without injury AND it's unlikely you get where you are in the season without someone else's injury helping you in some way.
