So far this season, they've played 3 teams that currently have winning records. They are 0-3 against those teams, losing all 3 games by 8 or more points and scoring 17 or less in each.
The 2 wins thus far are against teams that are a combined 2-8, and even in those games, the offense only managed 3 total TD's.
If they lose to NE next week and go 2-5...that's a pretty big hole to dig, and could be very difficult to overcome.
Cmon, you know the season is over. If you think for a second we are going to go into New England and win, is completely insane. It won't happen. I would bet the farm on it. So basically we would have to win out the rest of the year to get into the playoffs. Just isn't going to happen.
I would bet this team finishes closer to 8-8 after watching the first five games. The offensive line has made EVERY defense we've played thus far look like superstars. And the defense hasn't exactly dominated this year.
Its what it has always been...the coaching. Marvin Lewis and company don't have what it takes to compete with the big boys. Lewis never has...
