Before the Steeler game, I was just hopeful of a SPLIT (going 1 and 1) in the next two games by beating either Pittsburgh or the Chiefs.
Then beating the Bucs at home.
Losing two straight to the Steelers & Chiefs plus a win against the Bucs, puts the Bengals at 5 and 3 at the BYE.
(a 10 and 6 pace)
Getting that SPLIT (now a loss to Pitt & needing a win versus Chiefs) & beating the Bucs would have the Bengals 6 and 2 at the BYE.
No chance we beat the Chiefs with the 2017 Bengals offense, however, the 2018 offense has the ability to keep within a score late into the 4th quarter.
That is the Chance I want.
Another late 4th quarter opportunity to win.
It fell our way late versus the Falcons, then tipped in the Steelers direction two weeks later.
The Chiefs just laid it all out on the field and barely lost to the Patriots. A highly emotional game.
Now Chiefs players will be told via Media & fan opinion how easy their next win will be versus the Bengals but it could be a Trap game for them.
If the Bengal Offense can stay a possession BEHIND the Chiefs into mid 4th quarter, then we get our Shot.
Keep it close enough to steal.
6 and 2 at the BYE remains possible. (A 12 and 4 pace)
No need to mourn this Bengal team yet.
Key players like Dalton, Green & Geno are HEALTHY and that has more importance than teetering out a win in October against the Steelers.
This team is still in the THICK of this thing.
The Chiefs will have their hands full while expecting a Cake walk...
