I think we are beyond halfway decent.  Philbin has slowly but surely been building a good foundation for a successful team.  I think dumping Jeff Ireland this past offseason helped quite a bit, also.

The offensive line has been a major surprise, though.  No one thought slamming the reset button as happened after the bullying scandal would pay off so well.

It's due in no small part to your team having such a kick-ass defensive coordinator.  One day when Coyle assumes a head coaching position somewhere, I shall go work for him.

It is also due in no small part to Lazor creating an offensive scheme that uses Tannehill's strengths more effectively and helps take pressure off the offensive line.  I'm afraid we will end up losing both coordinators to head jobs. :(

Anyway, I wonder how long it's been since the Bengals *and* Browns have had >.600 winning percentages this late in the season.

1988.  Browns finished 10-6, Bengals finished 12-4.

I would have guessed some time in the 70s.  Thanks :)

Yeah, neither team has many super-.600 seasons to choose from. :P  I dumped the spreadsheet already, but I think it has only happened three times since the merger.

Sean Payton is a dumbass. He didn't learn from last week that you don't go for it on 4th and goal against an AFC North defense? Idiot.

I'm not fond of Steve Smith.

The Ravens looked pretty formidable with the glaring exception of their secondary. Hard to see how they can go all the way with that weakness.

I don't think there has been rickshaws in South Korea since before I was born.
