Listen, I was very guilty of getting too excited after the loss yesterday. I apologize for that.
I get angry because year after year we lose games that are critical for playoff positioning. A win VS Indy at home goes a long way towards helping us achieve our ultimate goal which is to sit at home week one and only need 2 games to reach the Super Bowl.
I hope every single one of you wants to win a Super Bowl. That should be the ultimate goal of every football fan, whether you root for the Bengals or the Dolphins. These past few games have gone a long way towards making me assume that we will have to wait another year to dominate in the playoffs and achieve the ultimate sports trophy. Every game in the NFL is of the utmost importance, we are now 2 games back of NE, 2 games back of Indy (including tiebrakers) with only 8 to play. Our schedule does not get any easier. So the negative and sarcastic attitude I displayed yesterday was just my natural response to "here we go again".
I just need to learn how to enjoy failure, maybe I'll talk to my Red Sox friends who have mastered that ability :)
