Pats have Colts this week then Bills the week after. They could go 2-0 in those games.
Titans have Steelers and 49ers. They also might be able to go 2-0.

Even if the Pats and Titans go 0-2 over the next two games and end up 2 games behind the Chiefs by the time the Chiefs play the Bengals, Chiefs may still not have the 1 seed locked up due to tiebreakers (Titans beat them, Pats beat Titans), and as such the Bengals game could be a clincher.

Rich Gannon was just talking about it on his show. I think they will play, but it will be a whole lot of 2nd and 3rd stringers including QB. I don't see the Ravens beating the Packers, especially without Lamar, so a Bengals win in Denver should move us into 1st place.

another example of the Bengals catching the right team at the right time this year

They win early in Pitt and Balt (some things they don't do often), played GB to the wire early. Then, when 1st place is on the line, late in the season, they play 2 winnable games at home and drop them both. Not really being out-played, but botching both games for one reason or the other...or several reasons actually. Those comebacks don't mean much to me when they fall short. It's always something with this team.

You see progress. I see the same ole thing. "IF" they wouldn't/would have only done...

I'm done with that shit. When this team actually starts to win games like the 2 they just played to get them in the division lead and they then go to and win a playoff game...maybe then i'll start to pay more attention again. Until then, i'm done with the "we're that close" narrative. Game after game, year after year, it's always "just that close...almost...if they fix...". Fix one thing, something else pops up to bite them. 

Nope. No faith or belief in this team whatsoever, until they actually do it.

2) There were no fans in most stadiums last year, and people were socially distancing more last year compared to this year. Also, Delta Variant and Omicron Variant (the two biggest variants to this point) were not around in the US last year. These new variants have been confirmed as more contagious than the original COVID-19, and at least with Delta, more severe compared to the original. It hasn't been identified yet whether Omicron will cause more severe illness compared to other variants or original COVID-19.

At this point, I'll quit engaging with you on this topic, as it seems like neither of us is willing to budge from our stance.

2) There were still 726 COVID cases (262 players). I don’t remember any hospitalizations last year. Blame variants if you want but the vaccine isn’t preventing record spread of COVID. If it is preventing hospitalization then we need to get rid of the COVID protocol and let people play through their asymptomatic cases.

Broncos are favored by 2.5 but the home team usually automatically gets a few points, so I like our chances. Tackle might be a question mark, but hopefully Zac realizes that we need to run the ball a lot in this game.

Ravens are giving up 7 to the Packers!

Browns are underdogs by a point and you have to think that the Raiders have to be a lot better since they're playing in a place like Cleveland.

Steelers are also giving up a point at home, so I'm liking our chances to move up in the standings!

Give 'em hell boys!

I did get covid the week before Thanksgiving but my immune system with the help of ivermectin and zinc wiped the fever out in less than 24 hours. There were some lingering affects though like loss of taste and smell that hung on for a while. My wife and 3 kids also got it. Same deal. Ivermectin and zinc. They're all fine. WTS, I'm not for or against the vaccine but I do believe it should be a choice and these people using scare tactics, like "you don't do it for you" can shove that thought where the sun doesn't shine.
