    Alright the meat of the schedule is done, two divisional match ups remain. This of you who started looking at the scheduled hard core at the beginning of summer time to confess what you thought went the way you thought, what went pear shaped, and the WTF moment of your predictions.

    I predicted 9-7. I will be very disgusted if I am right.

    I think I was at 11-5 or maybe 10-6, but that was without the injuries, so I'm pleasantly surprised we are where we are.

    Confirmed: I figured we'd lose to the Cheats and Seahawks
    Denied: I didn't expect a loss to the Ravens (even with injuries) or the Bengals (even with Ben's first game back)
    Pear shaped: I guess the Arizona game, or maybe that would be a WTF moment all things considered!

    I thought we would finish 11-5 but with a loss against Denver and a win over the Chiefs. I just had those flip flopped. I also thought we'd have Bell as well so so far the team is performing better than i expected.

    The WTF moment of the season for me was bringing in Mike Vick.

    Oh hey now, no one mentioned personnel decisions! I think I'd have quite a few WTF moments for personnel decisions, as usual. :D

    9-7

    Figured they'd lose to Denver and also to Arizona, but beat the Chiefs and lose at SD.

    I had us 11-5 or 10-6, I can't remember. I'll be very upset if they don't get to 11-5.

    I predicted 10-6 at the start of the year. I believe I will be wrong. Its more apt to be 11-5

    And Real Steel had us going 0-16

    I don't recall picking a record. I did say however that if Mike Tomlin can come out of this season with his streak of 'not having a losing season', that he should just bypass the HOF process, because to get 8 wins out of this season with THIS GROUP, would be remarkable

    This group? We have a lot of talent on this team. Yeah, we have some garbage players in the secondary but we have some players on this team that are the best or top 3 in the entire league. Particularly on offense.

    If we went 8-8 this year, I would've been really disappointed

    I think he means because of the injuries and yeah, theres not a single star in the secondary so thats impressive too. We could have easily lost every game without Ben and we wouldnt be talking playoffs now.

    I think we are right about where we should be. I think I was either 11-5 or 12-4. But that was with a fully healthy line and Bell playing the full season. No way did I think we would be in this position with Ben missing several games, Bell on IR along with Beachum and Pouncey. Add in the fact our secondary at times is a bit suspect I am pleased with the season, so far. Hopefully ends with 2 more wins and a playoff berth.

    Got ya. Yeah I agree. Its pretty impressive that we've kept winning despite the injuries and suspensions we've had to deal with.

    I picked 10-6 and division champs. I didn't know how top heavy the afc would be. I didn't expect cincy to be as good

    Pretty sure I had us at 16-0 or 15-1. No way I predicted worse than 13-3. Thus the WTF moments were failure to kick vs Ravens, no offense vs Chiefs, and terrible D vs Seahawks.

    I predicted 12-4. I thought we'd beat the Pats, split w/Bengals and lose to Denver. Can't predict injuries!
