Goes to show how little he knows

It's a reasonable prediction.

We should win the next 4.

Not giving him any clicks.

Can’t trust anything with this team. Most likely they go 2-2.

Honestly, this defense is so bad every struggling offense will have year highs in points scored and yards gained. Giants get to be the next beneficiary

Just win on Sundey. That's the only thing that matters.

IF the offense plays like it did Sunday, they coukd go 4-0.

That said, they could be inconsistent.

A winning streak wouldn't shock me at all. 4-5 seems about right for this squad. A .500 team with a hope of making the playoffs as a wild card or possibly no playoffs and 1st rounder in the 18 to 24 range.

Just miss the playoff and mediocre first round pick. Great season! Offense should be great without Tee next yr.

The Ravens offense, which is elite, scored 41 points (38 during regulation). So all the Bengals need to do is score 40 points per game, and we should be good :)

And this offense is good enough to do that.

If we don't make the playoffs, the worst case position in the draft is #18. With the expanded playoffs, picks 19 through 32 are all occupied by playoff teams.

Yeah, that's what I fear the outcome is. Just miss the playoffs and pick 18.

Yep, it would be a repeat of last year haha.

Pick 18 is the most salty team in the draft.

Defense has got to show us something. There’s no hope otherwise. I think the offense has to now get creative with how they score and when they score, knowing how bad the defense is. This should Burrow in the future, when he has an actual defense.

You have got to be in striking distance at the end of the game with the ball in your hands, and you have to close the drive out. They need to play the game precisely so that happens, until the defense improves.

We won't win every game from here on out, but there isn't a game on the schedule where I'd be shocked if we do.

But it works both ways... there's also not a game where I'd be shocked if we lose it either. Part of it is the nature of the NFL. Part of it is the Bengals... who knows how we'll play.

Yeah, and Vegas predicted the Bengals would beat the Patriots and Commanders. Bottom line, this Bengals were way too overestimated. Offense good, defense bad. Right now, the Bengals are average at best and really stand a chance to get a top ten draft pick next year. So be it.

To be fair, Bengals have about as an ideal 4 game stretch they could have right now. Question is can offense keep their momentum for those 4 games while defense getting a few stops.

Hell, we could go on a 10 game run but let's take 'em one at a time.

It has been a crazy 1st QTR of the season....

THE #NFL IS WILD…

The Houston #Texans are 4 & 1 with a -12 point differential

The Cincinnati #Bengals are 1 & 4 with a -5 point differential

No chance of any sustained winning streak with this defense regardless of who we play
