No doubt we've lost to 4 really goo teams...and probably teams that are going to win their division.
Story of the Bengals though...they can beat the bad teams, but not the great teams...and in the playoffs you see the best teams.

It's amazing how quickly attitudes change. For the past several seasons people have credited the FO and the coaching staff for assembling a team full of depth and really talented players. The Bengals have received praise for being one of the model organizations in the NFL. And now after a tough start to the season people want to dismiss all the accomplishments.
I'm not saying I'm in love with ML. I wish he would have moved up in the hierarchy and Zimmer became the HC. But he's what we have right now, that isn't going to change, so we might as well make the most of it and support the team.
Please rewatch the following clip in its entirety:

Yep, we lost to the good teams we've faced. This isn't very surprising when you realize we've finished 12th place in the NFL 6 of the past 7 years. .

Dallas' O line and TEs are the real deal. They're out there blocking like the 05' Chiefs.
Ironic, since it seems like yesterday that their line was their weakness and they were picking up bums like Nate Livings to fill in the gaps...
They seem like a team that could go to the NFC conference championship this year and lose, only to return triumphant in the next few years and win a Super Bowl.
