Nah. I figured someone...Patrick, Dungy, or Harrison...would EVENTUALLY mention the Texans sandbagged 90% of today's game and was a 2-pt. conversion away from beating Titans starters.

But no, that wasn't important information when considering our chances next weekend. No mention of the Ravens beating the Bengals today. No analysis regarding the Bengals' loss record vs playoff teams compared to their record vs non-playoff teams. That would be too hard for them to utilize and discuss.

When asked which AFC South is the best, Rodney Harrison chose his old team, the Patriots. Shocker!

Boomer Esiason, today, emphatically picked his old team the Bengals to beat the Ravens.

It's just funny to watch these guys go goo-goo ga-ga over their old teams. Sentimental fools.

Yes, our game might be a close one. But those two guys on NBC acted like we already lost it. LOL.

I was actually thinking the Bucs of last year when I posted it.

We had a season or two similar to that. Our wins were vs normal teams and our losses were vs great teams.

A few posters pointed it out, and it was a good predictor (most of the time) of how we'd do in upcoming games.

Texans would be highest seed to advance if they win, meaning they'd play Baltimore... If Cincy wins, seeing they're the #6 seed, they'd get New England...

Makes sense. Thanks to all for the clarification.

It's as if they didn't realize we played 2nd and 3rd stringers on BOTH sides of the ball.

These guys on TV stage sets, they're not even analyzing things. Texans lost today, so that means Bengals will win.

Amazing.

Dungy hates Houston for some reason. We never beat him but he has an ax to grind.

We lost today because this was a non important game to us. It looked like preseason out there today. Seriously, who goes for two in that situation?

We are going to kill the Bengals.

Cincy: 1-7 vs winning teams. Best wins: (9-7) Tenn and (8-8) Arizona.

Yep. Like I said, we stand an excellent chance of winning our very first playoff game. It's the second one I'm worried about.

We are just going to have to take a deep deep breath and keep telling ourselves we are not the Oilers, we can make it out of the second round of the playoffs.

So, who's the QB for the Texans I wonder. Delhome or TJ? TJ beat the Bengals at their place in a very meaningful game for both teams.

TJ starts, Jake finishes.

I think that Gary might just be intent on starting TJ regardless of his injury status and inexperience, but I think that TJ won't be up to the pressure of a playoff game and that Gary will have to call on Jake to try to salvage a win.

Pundits will observe that the Bengals have a rookie QB too. That is true in the strictest sense of the word, but I don't consider Dalton a rookie any more, just as I wouldn't call JJ Watt or Brooks Reed rookies. They have all seen enough NFL snaps in my view, while TJ hasn't.

I truly believe that our best bet in the playoffs is Jake plus our running game plus our defense. Obviously just my opinion.
