I always love hearing the details of those plays, because it does make it seem far less random... they were still ****ing lucky to win the game, but yeah knowing they were scheming for it puts it in a better light.

Folks have been moving that record down just a little bit since about week 4 but they keep essentially saying "Oh the Bengals can finish at {playoff record} if they just figure things out a bit...
And in so doing refuse to acknowledge that the record as it stands exists for a reason.
The odds of them 'figuring it out' were always incredibly low because the underlying issues (essentially team harmony and defensive consistency) are what created that record to begin with and would continue to get in the way of reviving it.
Now you just root for them to win 4 more games to mess up their draft status and they can continue to try to convince themselves that this season was just bad luck.
