I remember that last game of 2003. After the LeBeau debacle of 2002, we were 8-7 with Merv and needed to beat the Clowns and have Pit beat the Ratbirds later that day and we'd have our first playoff birth since '90. If memory serves, one of the Steelers even told the Bengals not to worry about it - they would take care of the Ratbirds for us (different times, indeed). Cleveland was good then and we lost, and later the Ratbirds won so it wouldn't have mattered, anyway. But, I remember leaving that stadium that day disappointed, but thinking "Damn, this team is gonna be a contender."
I picked 8-8 as well. Hoping I'll be two wins low.
