It's been 10 weeks since the Bengals beat a decent team - Blake2Pickens - 01-06-2016

11.1.15 - Last win vs a quality opponent.

Since 11.1, played 4 games vs winning teams (Teams with winning records at seasons end), of course they lost every one.

Texans, Steelers, Cardinals and Broncos. L L L L

Yeah...this game is an automatic loss. Sooner we all accept it, the easier it will be to just laugh it off.

Maybe next year!!!

You're trying too hard.

The Bengals are one of two teams to have 0 losses to teams with losing records (Panthers are the 2nd team). The Bengals lost their starting quarterback against the Steelers. Didn't have him for the Broncos.

So, outside of that, the Bengals are 4-2 against teams that finished .500 or better.

So overall, WITHOUT their starting quarterback for 4 games, they're still 4-4 against teams that are .500 or better. That's pretty good.

Steelers are 4-4 against teams that are .500 or better. Also got swept by the Ravens. Also in a game where they controlled their playoff destiny and knew that.

Gawd why do some of you wake up in the morning?

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We lost in the last minute to 2 of the best teams in the NFL on the road, one with a backup QB so excuse me if I don't go all jump off the cliff mode.

Lol
I bet this guy sleeps in a bed with plastic sheets, a steelers comforter and a terrible towel pillow. His bedroom is topped off with a sticky poster of Big Ben on his ceiling that he pleasures himself to.

He will be nowhere to be found after we beat his steelers with a backup QB. Who Dey

Somewhere out there. There's a very steep and dangerous cliff.

Go find this cliff, walk up to the edge, and just simply step off of it.

We're in the midwest. More busses and tractors to jump in front of.

Since you've already decided the outcome of the game, at least you'll have your Saturday night free to do something other than watch the Bengals game

Yes, the Bengals have had four losses in the second half of the season, but ALL were to playoff teams.
The only one that was by more than four points was the second Steelers game...McCarron's first game...in which the Bengals were within a TD prior to the pick 6....

Even though the Bengals lost all these games, they showed me something I haven't seen from a Bengals team in recent years...they can compete with the best of the playoff teams.

The Steelers, Patriots, Broncos, Chiefs, and Texans have all lost to teams with losing records at least once this season. Shouldn't they be getting chalked up with a loss too since they can't beat the teams they "should" beat?

Bottom line: the Bengals can compete and beat any team in the playoffs this year. Whether that happens or not, who knows. But at least they've shown they have a shot to do it, unlike some of the previous years.

RE: It's been 10 weeks since the Bengals beat a decent team - Essex Johnson - 01-06-2016

If we go by your logic this is a automatic win, since the last team we beat with a winning record is Pittsburgh... Hilarious

Aren't you supposed to be in Cleveland?

Primetime against Winning teams & Pukesburgh @ PBS.. Recipe for a blowout?

RE: It's been 10 weeks since the Bengals beat a decent team - Essex Johnson - 01-06-2016

Well I will counter with three important games over the last four years that the Bengals defeated Steelers

1. 2012- Last game of year , Bengals defeat Steelers in what really was playoff type game, Bengals got into playoffs, Steeler went home

2. 2013 Prime time game, both teams come in 0-1, Bengals defeat Steelers send them to 0-2 and they did not make the playoffs that year
3. 2015 First matchup,, Bengals win and we pretty much ended any hope with a victory of Steelers having a chance at AFC North.

We can and have beaten the Steelers in pivotal games the last few years, no reason we can;t this weekend unless losing Dalton is just too much to overcome.

RE: It's been 10 weeks since the Bengals beat a decent team - bengals73 - 01-06-2016

I just put the question out there.. It sounds like a recipe for a blow out to me given the history in the Playoffs.

Honestly I'm glad we're going against Pitt - They haven't been that great in the Playoffs in recent years - Then again they haven't played against MarvinBall

Proof is in the pudding for me.

RE: It's been 10 weeks since the Bengals beat a decent team - Essex Johnson - 01-06-2016

I thought I would put a free ingredients that show that recipe has not been working as well in very critical games with the Steelers in very recent history

RE: It's been 10 weeks since the Bengals beat a decent team - OrlandoBengal - 01-06-2016

This is absurd. They can only play the teams that are put in front of them. Bengals tied for the best record in the AFC this year, and had a backup quarterback for basically the last four weeks of the season. By your logic, New England might as well not even suit up for the playoffs this year... they lost four of the last six, the last two to the Jets and Dolphins...

RE: It's been 10 weeks since the Bengals beat a decent team - bengals73 - 01-06-2016

I will be rooting for the Bengals like I have been for many many years now come hell or high water. Brag on them when they win and criticize them when they lose.

The bottom line is - We all can debate until we're blue in the face about how A +B & C= Win / Loss before hand - But only after Saturday night we will know the truth.
