And the Bengals were 3-6-1 at the time of when Peerman was activated (Nov 26). Technically, the Bengals were not out of it, as they did have the possibility of winning out and going 9-6-1.
Also at that time, the Steelers were 6-5, so 3.5 games behind with six games remaining.
The Ravens were 5-5, so the Bengals were just 1.5 games behind them.
Realistically, did they have a chance? Not really, but the Bengals have never been willing to give up on a season and play the young guys for development purposes until they were statistically eliminated from playoff contention.
We didn't really see the Bengals even give the young guys a chance last year until that last game or two.

I expect more of the same this year. Given they are 3-5 right now, I don't expect them to give up on the season until December, which means three more games at minimum.

I get all of that.....and it was a technicality, because realistically, they were out of contention long before that point.  

Me, I would have gone with 2 RBs, if one gets hurt, you have your "cut" made for you.  WJIII needed that PT.  He has played well this season, probably much better if he had gotten valuable game snaps last season.  Here we are, at the midway point of his second season, and he still isn't starting.  S-T-U-P-I-D.  Are they going to wind up with a Kirkpatrick scenario again?  You draft these cats high, play them, or don't draft that position that high.
