 If Bengals roll over and die against the Pats like they did against the Cowboys, this season will essentially be over.  This team should still be a good team and should be able to put up a good fight against the Pats.  Even if they do not win, they must compete this weekend to gain the confidence necessary build on.  However, having 4 loses this early in the season would be too much to overcome and I'd say with certainty that they miss the playoffs.  This game is a must win, no matter how improbable.  There's no two ways about it.

We're going to have to disagree.  If this game is a must win, with the season hanging in the balance, then the season's already ****** because they're not getting out of there with a win.  That's why I'm waiting for the Cleveland game to see how they rebound.  

If they can beat Cleveland and get on a roll, they can still get to a 10-6 record and have a shot at a wild card, and then the  loss tomorrow wouldn't have meant anything.  If they lose to Cleveland, then I'll be ready to throw in the towel.
