We have Mixon and Boyd.

They don't have Conner, Juju, Johnson, Pouncey.

-Jets @ Home - Jets are really bad. 3-7 (1-4 on the Road)

-@ Browns - 4 Wins. Their coach is clueless

-Patriots @ Home - Loss

-@ Dolphins - 2 Wins. IF we win some of the earlier games, the Dolphins may have a shot at the top pick...so we could lose. The Dolphins do look better than us now. I guess it will depend on who wants to lose more.

-Browns @ Home - See above.

It's REALLY hard to go 0-16.

The Bengals have faced two winless teams so far (not counting week one at the Seahawks of course) and lost decisively to both.

While the Jets may be bad and 1-4 on the road, the Bengals are worse and are 0-4 at home.

The Jets have scored 34 points in consecutive games, and we might put up our standard 17, so there's an L.  The Dolphins have won two of the last three, including at Indy, and it's down there, so there's an L.  Steelers always pound us, regardless of who the HC/QB/jockstrap washer are, and they might actually have a home-field advantage at PBS Sunday (has a home steam ever had to go silent count at home before?), so book that L.  Browns swept us last year, and they're just plain better than us at this point, so there's two more Ls.  The Pats will absolutely curb stomp us, and many of us will be there just to see Brady in person one last time, and we'll witness the L.  

0-6 is much easier than you think.  Can't wait to buy my "I survived 0-16" sweatshirt come January.

What is the difference between 3-13 and 0-16 for the Bengals ? About 4 draft positions and all the excuse MB will need to say "see we did have it right all along. Injuries derailed us and it took some time to put it together". 

In other words we'll stand pat where we are !

Maybe, just maybe ? 0-16 will force him to act ? Free agents, trade some people ?

So, it wouldn't surprise me for the Bengals to screw it up, they do everything else, and win 3 at the end.

It's just hard to go 0-16 and we've started to be able to run the ball some. IF they put Andy back in at QB...we could likely win. With Finley, I don't know.
