Not really the thread for this conversation - but yeah, it kinda was Dorsey throwing those picks.
When an OC doesn’t make a QB comfortable… When an OC doesn’t give him easy reads… When an OC doesn’t slow the game down for the QB… it makes throwing picks super easy.
This doesn’t make any sense mathematically.
Matchup of 8-7 teams don’t matter. Either way, there will be a 7 win team.
If Colts win today, they likely get a wildcard spot. Their schedule is easy. And Browns too.
That leaves 1 spot for several teams to fight over.
Mathematically it’s the same.
However the Steelers have a more difficult remaining schedule, so more likely to lose again.
Go Steelers.
Only temporarily (others haven’t played).
Eh, maybe not.
The Bengals currently lose most tiebreakers. Which is why they are in 10th place in the conference.
This game was 0 percentage points on the divisional scale and only a few percentage points on the wild card scale.
The Chiefs are not a wild card contender. The Bengals losing to the Chiefs wouldn’t matter at all. The Browns have a 1.5 game lead on us with 4 games to go. The Bengals losing to the Browns likely won’t matter.
.
Have you run the math on this? Because I have. This game was a few percentage points.
This game was a “want” not a “need”.
If the Bills win out, we are in.
Yeah this was not a game we needed.
It would have been nice for the Vikes to win but the Bengals are going to lose at least 1 (if not 2) of their remaining games.
The Bengals have the Chiefs, Steelers and Browns left.
They are losing at least one, if not two, of those games.
I would have loved a Bengals loss here but I don’t think it matters playoffs-wise.
