Believe it or not... We’re still in this... - milksheikh - 09-23-2019
Sure, the morals aren’t too high right now and being 0-3 sucks a LOT when we should be 2-1 but the rest of the division isn’t doing too hot either. Steelers are 0-3 like us, Browns are 1-2 and Ravens are a top at 2-1... It’s not out of reach yet folks, a win next week against the Steelers could be huge... I don’t know, still trying to be optimistic and giving myself reason to keep watching.

So true. but any more hits to the OL and we will be having TEs as OTs lol

I’m really hoping Glenn comes back this week and also Green, these injuries are killing us

If we should be 2-1 the Steelers and Browns should be, too. You can't just give us close games and not them.

I agree we should be 2-1.Take away the bad holding call on Tate that negated a touchdown and the Bengals win against Buffalo.They clearly outplayed Seattle but lost by 1 point.This team is playing sloppy right now,and they need to clean it up.To many penalties and turnovers.

We have one of the easiest schedules and we are struggling to win.

TEs might be better than what we currently have a tackle...

I know that was true before, but after draft/FA does that remain true? I didn't peg SF or Buffalo to actually be decent teams when the schedule came out, for example.

If you mean we’re still in this same shit show from 2016 when they let the O line completely fall apart then I concur.
If you mean we’re still in the playoff race at 0-3, historically there is about a 3% chance of a playoff appearance based upon teams starting 0-3 since about 1980.

Our opponents are 8-1. Now the Bengals contributed three of those wins, but still.

Buffalo clearly outplayed us just like we outplayed the Seahawks. We can’t have both those victories. Which one do you want.

@buffalo and @seattle are not easy games.

Seattle opponent record: 2-7 (both wins by the Saints, who beat Seattle)
Bills opponent record: 1-8
49ers opponent record: 1-8
So the three teams that beat the Bengals have only played a combined 1 game against a winning team, and they lost that game.
Bengals have had an easy schedule so far, they have just been worse than the other bad teams they've played.

Yea once we get Redmond back and Sample more involved this offense will be unstoppable.

Based on your silly mental gymnastics the Patriots are weaker than any of our opponents because their opponents are 0-9.
The Seahawks, 49ers, and Bills are all decent teams.
Bills had the #2 defense in the league last year (#6 this year), but made major improvements to their offense (added 1000 yard receiver Thomas Brown and 4 new starters on O-line including $45 million OC Mitch Morris)
Niners had the #13 offense and #17 defense last year, but they added two Pro Bowl LBs in free agency and a QB with a career 97 rating.
Seahawks won 10 games last year

If the Browns beat the Ravens and the Bengals beat Pittsburgh, Cincy will be one game out of first place.

"Based on your silly mental gymnastics the Patriots are weaker than any of our opponents because their opponents are 0-9."
There you again, using Straw Man arguments when you disagree with an opinion formed by facts. by another poster. Never did he say anything about Pats.
Yet, you provide facts and expect others to respect your opinion based on facts. Why should we?
2018 stats mean little for 2019. In time we will see if the 3 teams we played are great teams as all undefeated, good, average or below average based on how the rest of their season goes.
