Real, real sick of the toxic positivity brigade in here after every abominable pants shitting saying “its just one game we’'re fine.”

We’ve lost three very winnable games out of 10 so far. We play in the toughest division in football and have an extremely good Bengals team in 4 days with several impact players almost certainly out. If we lose that game - and I’d favor the Bengals right now - we’re 7-4 with a chance to be in last place by the end of next weekend.

If you still think that’s fine and we have a chance to make it up, well, no. We have the second toughest remaining schedule of any NFL team. at Jags, at Niners, at Chargers, Rams, Dolphins, and Steelers are left. We’ll be lucky to go 3-3 in that stretch. Couple that with a Bengals loss Thursday, and we’re 11-7 on the season. At best. That’s not winning this division. That may not even get us a wild card given how easy the rest of the division’s easy schedule.

Thursday’s game is as high-leverage as it gets. And the only reason why is because we didn’t bank wins against dogshit teams - the single most important thing to do in the NFL - when we had the chance.
