I figured Fitzpatrick would play pretty horribly in his only post-season game and throw 4 INTs and we'd win by default. Sadly, he had his 4 INT meltdown a week early and lost to the Bills which then led to the Steelers getting to the playoffs by default and we all know the rest.
That was our "Can't fail" chance and we didn't get it. Oh well, Marvin Lewis would have a 10 year contract if we won that game and Denver would have killed us in the next round.
If I recall, the Chargers and the Steelers were both let into the playoffs by other teams screwing up and letting them in and both teams marched into our stadium and beat our 11/12-win teams like the paper tigers we are.
I have to believe Fitzy would've done his best TJ Yates impression had he faced us, and even if he were that erratic, we probably woud've dropped any potential INT's.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
