Well, we are right where I thought we would be at this point but for very different reasons. The AFCN wins are HUGE as we all know. Our early success means our season comes down to 10 games. We need to win 5 to go dancing. So how do you think this plays out?
REGULAR SEASON
Sun., Sept. 12, MINNESOTA - WIN
Sun., Sept. 19, at Chicago -LOSS
Sun., Sept. 26, at Pittsburgh - WIN
Thurs., Sept. 30, JACKSONVILLE - WIN
Sun., Oct. 10, GREEN BAY, -LOSS
Sun., Oct. 17, at Detroit - WIN
Sun., Oct. 24, at Baltimore - WIN
Sun., Oct. 31, at N.Y. Jets -----WIN
Sun., Nov. 7, CLEVELAND -----WIN
Sun., Nov. 14, — BYE —
Sun., Nov. 21, at Las Vegas -----LOSS (WE COME BACK FLAT ON THE ROAD)
Sun., Nov. 28, PITTSBURGH ----- WIN (BIG BEN CANT STAY HEALTHY AND WE REBOUND AFTER THE ROAD LOSS)
Sun., Dec. 5, L.A. CHARGERS ----- LOSS
Sun., Dec. 12, SAN FRANCISCO -----WIN
Sun., Dec. 19, at Denver ----- WIN
Sun., Dec. 26, BALTIMORE ----- LOSS (RAVENS SPOIL OUR CLINCH PARTY)
Sun., Jan. 2, KANSAS CITY ----- LOSS (KC BACK IN PLAYOFF FORM AND THEY ARE FIGHTING TO CLINCH LIKE WE ARE)
Sun., Jan. 9, at Cleveland ---- WIN (NEEDING THIS ONE TO GET TO 11-6 AND SECURE OUR AFCN TITLE WE UNLEASH HELL ON BAKER'S BOYS WHEN THEY TRY TO SPOIL OUR PARTY)
I say 11-6, AFCN Title, 3 seed in the playoffs and our first playoff win of the Burrow era comes against a rematch with the Chargers in memory of the Freezer Bowl game at PBS.

Re: Our 10 game season
Last weekend I was trying to put together how this team gets to 8 wins.
This week I'm trying to figure out how this team doesn't get to at least ten wins. What a difference a week makes.
I no longer see a game remaining on this schedule that we can't win. We are not going to win them all, but individually, we can win each of them.
It helps a lot that we have the Chargers, Ravens, Steelers, Chiefs, and 49ers all at home.
The only game I look at and say it's probably going to be a loss is the Raiders game. If Cleveland is healthy by the time we play them up North, that one could be a struggle. The Chargers will be a tough one, but it's hard not to look at what the Ravens did to them without thinking about what we just did to the Ravens. The Chiefs have been underachieving all year. Yesterday may have been rock bottom for them. This certainly could be a bounce back type of week for them, but they are not the same scary team that they have been the last couple of years. At Denver is always a tough place to play regardless of how the Broncos are performing.
Bottom Line - I think 10-7 or 11-6 is a real possibility. Maybe even better. I don't think the Raiders are our only loss for the rest of the season, but it's gotten a lot harder for me to predict which games they are going to lose.

#Jets QB Zach Wilson is believed to have suffered a PCL injury that will cause him to miss some time, but he'll have an MRI today to determine the full extent of the injury.

Re: Our 10 game season
If the difference in this game comes down to who is playing QB for the Jets between Wilson and Mike White, then the Bengals went into this game and laid an egg. There is no good excuse for this team not having their third straight blow out victory.

Re: Our 10 game season
i see 17-0.
after blowing out everyone the rest of the year, the Bears and Packers apologize to us and vacate their wins.

Re: Our 10 game season
