In reality we're only 1.5 games back. yet I find myself thinking about next year's draft already too. But we're 1.5 games back, have a huge game against BAL this weekend, and then four more games after that! "A lot can still happen" says my heart. "But look at the year so far" says my brain. This would all be much easier if BAL or PIT was like 8-2 or 9-1 this year.... But I will hold out hope until the math says we can't make the playoffs, then I will root for some backups to mop up the last game or two and see if we can move up a few notches in the draft. Such is life for a die-hard Bengal fan
5 more games after this one, actually...but yeah the division is abysmal this year. Sadly, we'd possibly be 5-5 with a better kicker. Maybe 6-4 with a better kicker and a fair call on the fumble in the Pitt game.
