From the Basement to 2nd Place With a Win

[sick beats]

Nice to see the bengals get destroyed.

Big game, they know it. I hope we see a heavy heavy heavy dose of Bell/Blount

We saw a heavy dose of them vs. Browns - and what difference did it make? Browns are missing 4 DLmen and we still couldn't do squat. Pathetic. The JAGS just whipped a team that smashed us. So lame.

But the steelers beat the jags and the browns once.....so what does that mean?

Ill give you a hint, it means nothing

Not to get all mathematical here, but we would still only be in 3rd place with a win (a 4-3 record is a .571 winning percentage, while the Bengals 3-2-1 record is a .583 winning percentage).

Im fairly sure that having more wins > winning percentage

Being 8-7-1 > 8-8

But being 4-3 > 3-2-1

Of course this will become clearer when the play field is equal and the steelers have their bye week. Someone will have more wins or the same amount of wins.


Not totally sure though

It's not important. Unless we get significantly better, worrying over 1/2 games vs. Cinci is just a waste of time. We aren't going to win the div. So, now we are talking wild card spots. If AFC div. winners are....

NE
Denver
Indy
Balt.

Then we have to have better records than....

SD
KC
Cinci
Hous

After tonight, we will see how likely that appears. But being that we got beat by TB, and crushed by Cleveland, I wouldn't hold your breath.
