The Bengals could still get in the playoffs. I think only the Colts and Denver are currently ahead of them for what would be the final spot(Denver has it for now). Neither of those teams are very good, and Cincy is due for some breaks. Obviously the 2 games against the Ravens could have easily gone the other way. For now I will be a Bengals fan in at least 2 upcoming games lol.
One final thought- the Dean swiss Pees/Zach Orr combo isnt working. Why they brought him in to "help" fix the problem of giving up chunks of yardage on pass plays and losing leads late when that was a feature of his defenses is mind boggling.
Was that 4th and 10 completion even a catch? They looked at it to see if it was a first down, but that ball was moving as he went to the ground. Not that it matters in the end, but at the time I was pissed for multiple reasons lol.
Its the dumb penalties that constantly hinder the Ravens- defensive holds, personal fouls, illegal man downfield. It is yet another 'feature' of a Harbaugh coached team.
They never make it easy. Cincy should have kicked the extra point imo. With Tucker struggling, pretty good chance the game would have gone to overtime.
Not likely going to verify anyway. I am just hoping for 'normal' temps for more than couple days in a week sometime this month. And multiple rain events.
In reality it will probably go back and forth as energy from the NPAC progresses eastward- warmer out in front and cooler air on the backside of the troughs. That's the way it looks on the op runs. Wave interactions/wave breaking build heights in the NAO domain as modeled. Maybe we get some rain chances if it plays out like that.
In the shorter term, both the GEFS and the Euro ens develop a -NAO mid to late Nov. If real, that should help mitigate the +EPO/-PNA and tendency for an anomalous h5 ridge in the east. Maybe keep temps near seasonal.
Not recently. Best periods have been early Jan (2017-18) and also late winter- March 2018. Also much of Jan 2022, with multiple snow events.
The CFS has been pretty consistent with the -EPO idea, esp for the mid to latter part of winter.
With a serviceable defense they don't lose to 2 terrible teams and are 7-1. Lamar and the offense weren't quite in sync yet against KC, but they certainly could have won that game.
