You'll just have a hard time convincing me that a team that lost 4 of 5 games -- TWICE -- is 'the most dangerous team in the playoffs'
They had two completely independent stretches where they went 1-4. And the only thing that prevented those from being 5 game losing streaks was beating the Panthers and Raiders respectively.
No, they're not a good football team. They're not even the sort of dynamic offense that keeps you from being dependent on game-script because they haven't demonstrated the ability to come back in games.
They're no different than the Baltimore teams of a couple years back that had one way to win -- keep you from scoring, get the lead, let Lamar and the run game salt the game away.
The Bengals have one way to win -- take the lead, keep scoring, hold onto the lead like grim death as their defense craters around them.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Broncos win STILL their only win against a .500 team this year?
I've never seen a team get so much credit on the strength of one half of good football 4 years ago. It's just the strangest thing.
