Wins..............5th

Points scored...8th
Points allowed..3rd
Point diff.........5th (sixth best point diff in 2nd half so halftime adjustments are not a big problem)


Forced TO.......7th
TO margin.......7th

Yds margin......10th (but Bengals are one of only 7 teams that both outrushed and outpassed opponents)

Penalties........16th (meh, refs don't hate us that bad)
Opp Penalties...5th fewest (REFS HATE US!!!)


Here are some numbers for people who claim we don't play well in big games.  All of these numbers are from games against teams that ended the season with a winning record

Total wins.....5th
Win %.........6th

And here is an interesting stats about how good of a comeback team the Bengals are.  These numbers are from games where the team trailed at some point in the game.

Total wins....5th
Win %.........4th

Fred,
Winning the playoffs matters more cause it's the next barrier to becoming a great team. If we couldn't make the playoffs, like before, then making the playoffs would be more important than winning against a team like NE cause just making the playoffs would be the next barrier.

Now, however, we need to be able to beat teams in the playoffs to move forward. Make sense?

I hope so, cause you can complain all you but this team is going to continue to be considered an underachiever until it wins in the post season. In fact, we're going to hear about the playoff win drought all season long. It will be mentioned during every single game by the announcers. It is something that is on Lewis' mind, even if he denies it.

So, it's okay if the fans talk about it.
