Most people around here treat ALL prime time games like they are much more important than any other game. And when we lose a prime time game it is treated like a much WORSE loss than any other regular season game. The prime time record has become the "go to" argument for the haters because it is one of the few things they have left. Whenever I point out how much success the Bengals have had recently I always get the "What about primetime?!" rant. But for some reason when we win a prime time game these same people give it a "Meh, no big deal."
I guarantee that if we had lost last Thursday night many people here would be losing their minds because it was a ANOTHER PRIMETIME LOSS.
Nah. It would have been because the Bengals lost to a vastly inferior team and would be 1-3/.
