We started off 0-2 as you well know and looked pretty damn bad. Since then we're 11-2 including reeling off 7 in a row including 4 road wins. We're in a great position to challenge for the #1 or 2 seed and of course already a lock for the playoffs. It hasn't always been pretty, it hasn't always been flawless. But we've found ways to win. And if you look around it's pretty much that way with everybody.

If you would have told me after the Cleveland game we'd be here I would have said uh huh, with a large dose of sarcasm. But they've ironed out most of their problems (looking at you Oline) won through injured top players missing games, overcame bad plays, turnovers, mishaps, and gotten it done. The mark of winners.

No matter how this season ends I take my hat off to you guys and apologize for doubting early on. Big thanks to everybody from F.O. to the waterboy for a job well done. There's no doubt we're one of the top teams in the NFL.

   

The media thought 2021 was a fluke, then we started 0-2 and they pounded their chests. They picked everyone but the Bengals, some even said the Steeler's with a rookie QB. It is fun to watch them now act like they were on the 2022 Bengal train all along.

I feel we can beat any team because of Joe Burrow and the offense, but it has been the defense stepping up and making plays to finish off some of the games. This is a sound team in all 3 aspects, defense, offense and special teams.

Fun time to be a Bengals fan after years of struggling.

Also, this forum is laced with great, smart football fans and a pleasure to share the highs after going through the lows with many of you.
