large majority of those are Marvin Lewis teams + 75% of their primetime games were road games

Another curse to break.
Important to break it down a little though. We're clearly a different franchise pre-Burrow.
0-4 record with him. Two of those losses to Cleveland (we lose that game regardless of when it is anyway seemingly). Two last second losses to BAL/KC.
Not saying 0-4 is good, but it's not SO tragic when you look at what the games have been.

Yes, only 4 listed were since Burrow was on the team. And it ignores that the Bengals have won three playoff road games under Burrow. I guess they aren't "primetime" because they weren't at night, but these were major viewing events.

this is what matters most. The primetime bugaboo has been shedded long ago

I consider playoff games primetime. Didn't we beat KC 2 years ago to go to the Super Bowl? Didn't we beat Buffalo last year on the road to go to the AFC Championship game.
I would consider both the wins better prime time wins than any loss during regular season game. We are banged up with little time to heal and make adjustments. The Ravens are dominant in the trenches on both sides of the ball.
If we lose Thursday, nothing to do with prime time (choking), all to do with opponent and being very banged up.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

I don’t want to hear the injury excuse. They will be without their starting tackles and starting corner. We may be without our starting DEs and WR. It literally evens out.

Having injuries seems to be advantageous to Bengal opponents. There are a couple of Ravens backup tackles about to get big contracts with other teams based on their performance Thursday.

Not necessarily. It depends who the backups are. And our back edge rushers are trash.

Take the points when we can get them. Absolutely, no going for it on a 4th down inside the 35-yard line.

I don’t disagree. But I don’t want to hear injuries as an excuse because that’s all we’ve heard from the Ravens fans every time they lose, and we’ve used it the past 2 times with Burrow’s appendix and now his calf. It’s a never ending cycle.

Silly article. Can’t count the loss to the chiefs as an L in the playoffs without counting the win the year before.

Wasn't the AFC Championship game that we won 2 years ago on the road and in primetime?

4:25 and another game after, so not Primetime.
