Out of the 14 different teams we played this year, 11 had a winning record. 8 of those were playoff teams.
With that and the Burrow injuries, this season was the epitome of “wrong place at the wrong time”
Literally. Imagine if we were in the afc south. Or west.
I’m a Bucs and Bengals fan and was just thinking this.
We did make history tho, only division with all teams above .500 in…i forget how many years. Doesnt mean shit tho.
My money is on browns or ravens winning it all. The nfc teams aint prepared for those defenses.
I think the divisions are a relic of a bygone era and they should be abolished, or at least made irrelevant like the NBA.
Make it a 15 round season. Every team in the AFC play each other once. Top 6 make playoffs. Get rid of the 7th seed. Only time AFC plays NFC is the Super Bowl.
I am not a crackpot. It’s not perfect but I hate the system the way it is now. It’s bullshit you can win 8 games and win a division and get a home playoff.
Division games are usually the worst games to watch. The teams have each other figured out. I’d rather watch Dallas play San Francisco than watch them play the Eagles for example.
The competition makes us stronger.
The 2023 Ravens were forged by the 2021/2022 Bengals.
