I think Dalton has done pretty good on the road, but outside of a few teams, who does well on the road in the NFL??
Bengals don't do well in prime time...won on Thurs Night Football
Bengals normally play anywhere from 2-4 big stage games, and rarely win more than one a year. (I call them 'big stage' because that counts playoff and London games as well. Games that are played when no other team is playing at the same time!)
Bengals don't win the close games...beat ATL with 7 sec left
Not sure where this has been documented as a 'history' problem.
Bengals don't come back when behind by 14 or more...scored 27 unanswered in a quarter and a half to win by ten vs MIA.
(See above reply)
Bengals don't beat good teams...BAL and MIA were both in 1st or tied for 1st when we played them, ATL has a really good O.
Bengals have owned the Ravens in at least the last ten games. Ravens own Steelers, Steelers own Bengals. Atlanta has a really good O except when they play the Steelers.
The Bengals have bucked history in virtually every game this season. But you'll just wait for the next loss and come back posting pitiful "I told you so" posts, even though nobody expects the Bengals to go 15-1.
History will be rewritten when the Bengals can stop letting the Steelers beat them with 'button pushing fear' because they (Steelers) know they need that edge to beat them, but the Bengals, ever since 1990, keep 'giving in'.
When PB had the team the Bengals were just a game under .500 with the head to head meetings with the Steelers.
History will also be written when they can start winning more than one 'big stage' game when they have 3 or more in a year.
Finally, history will be rewritten when they win one or more playoff games which they haven't been able to do in the last 26 years.
Bengals have completed 50 years, as a franchise, with 5 playoff victories.
Jaguars have completed 23 years, as a franchise, with 7 playoff victories.
And all pessimists claim they are realists.
That's as REAL as it gets!
