Gentle Ben is out 4 to 6 weeks and Andy Dalton is playing very well.
I think we have a 50 percent chance making the playoffs.
This pretty much sums up how I feel. AFCN is weak, Ravens stink and Ben is out 4-6 (the Steelers weren't overly impressive even with him). The rest of the schedule looks like a breeze compared to @Cowboys, vs Broncos, @Pats and @Steeler.
I'd say we finish 9-7 or 10-6, with an outside shot at the division, but a road WC game is more likely.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
