Ok guys hear me out. Our next 6 games are all winnersble games after going through murders row 4 of the first 6 games. I believe we can be 6-2 after the best 6 with the giants or eagles being the toughest games we play. The browns are this Sunday plus we play them one more time the steelers again as well as the ravens twice. Benching ced is dumb as he will be very good it's just going to take time the should of benched bodine instead since he is awful. It was a 9 pt game with 4 mins left so it's not like we were blown out. We control our own destiny and with the fish beating the steelers and the ravens losing again it's possible we could win the arc north with a 9-7 record. The Browns is a get well game and I hope it leads us to more wins especially when we get eiffert back which will help tremendously.

i honestly hope we lose every game for the rest of the season so we can get a shot at another AJ green level player and hopefully dump some of these coaches.

winning the next 2 games will maybe give this team a very needed Jumpstart and infusion of confidence.
but at 4 4 and maybe Pittsburgh struggles with Landry Jones and they are 2 2.
but the window is closing quickly this season
big Bens injury might be a godsend for this team

It's about more than making the playoffs. It's about winning a playoff game.
This team has played horrible against 4 playoff teams this year.
Basically, people are hoping we beat enough bad teams to make the playoffs...

We must start winning, of course however other teams in our division need to start losing. This is a real posibility after watching yesterday games. Anything can happen if we get to the post season, A Lot of Football left.

NY Giants... Two time Super Bowl champs (with Eli that is). 9-7 both years I believe. Weren't the Packers 9-7 when they won it a few years back?
It's all still right there, and it's better to get hot in late December tan it is in late September.... At the same time, this team has to start scoring more than 17 points a game.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

No that is not it. We are hoping that we improve enough to win playoff games.
We have lots of new coaches and players that could get better as they gel together over the course of the season. Plus we could get jackson and eifert back from injury.

this one thought gives me hope.
last year this team go off to a 8 -0 start and we were the talk of the league
not enough good things to say about the Bengals
then what happened.
we blew a chance to get a 1st RD bye and melted down vs the Steelers
it's not how you start it's how you finish
hopefully this team will peak at the right time and who's to say what will happen.
if there was a undefeated team in this division I'd worry.
there isnt so I'm not.

Speaking of London, I think our record on the west coast isn't very good. Wonder if it's because of the difference in time zones? If so, London could jack us up. Probably not the concern to put high on the worry tree, just something I thought about.
