Seattle--had won their last 14 home games in September. Bengals, coming off a six win season with a horrible defense and mediocre at best offense, most of the world predicting somewhere between 3 and 6 wins, 9.5 point underdogs, a practically unheard of number. Brand new HC, first time DC. Nobody knows what to expect.
What do we get? A great effort, a game lost by about two or three plays, moving the ball, playing very tough defense, sacking Russell Wilson, holding the best rushing team in the league last year to under a hundred yards on the ground.
Reasonable fans are looking for hope, for signs that things are changing, that we might now actually have a real team on our hands. Reasonable fans are not saying a bunch of bizarre, anger driven shit about people cracking their skulls, etc.
You choose to focus on the positives. I choose to focus on the negatives. Guess which one determined the outcome of the game (the only thing that matters to me).
