Now yes, I have said Bengals look like 1990's Bungles and they have. Still, the other teams in AFC North have losing records also. I don't know where Bengals Blocking or Tackling would magically come from. Still, the Basic Math 101 says that IF BENGALS WIN A FEW GAMES, they could be near 1st place very fast, because the other 3 teams stink also.
It would take a major turn around by Bengals, but Browns and Ravens only have 2 more wins than Bengals. Any surprise hot streak by Bengals puts them in race. If Bengals beat Ravens and Browns lose, Bengals are 1 game out of 1st Place, as crazy as that is. 1-5 could have them 1 game out of 1st place.
IF THEY BEAT RAVENS......for all the fans including me since 1968, I hope they can pull the rabbit out of their hat, For The Fans.
There will not be any "ifs" here. Bengals are a complete defensive joke with the worst LB's in NFL history. They have a DL that plays NOT to get hurt more than wanting to make plays (you listening Carlos?). Every freakin' time they play a mobile QB or even an elite athlete playing QB they lose contain, can't ever sack the guy and make THAT player look like an all pro..Ravens QB will run for 90-120 yards and easily throw for 250 plus and most of these yards will involve a missed tackle, a missed sack and at leat 2-3 defensive players bitching at each other because of missed assignments.
Sure, they'll come out sunday with some established pride and because it's a division game but that ends because they're horrid defensively, never come up with a defensive stop when they need to and make average players look like all pros..
