Some damn good coaches in the division as well. Absolutely nothing is easy and is earned every single week. 

Good if you make the playoffs you are very well prepared but a gauntlet to get in.

Maybe we will get some help from the Bills.

Losing those first three games against AFC opponents — including two division games — is looking worse. The Bengals need to go on a world-beating winning streak to make the playoffs at all. Cincinnati could end up 10-7 or 11-6 and completely miss the postseason.

Honestly I thought Cleveland would burn out but sadly their play is improving. I liked it better when it took the Browns three years to win five games. The Bengals have four games left against the AFC North and now we have to win all of them.

Zac really needs to figure out how to be better in the beginning of the season. With the NFL scheduling division games in the first games, he can’t continue to completely fail at the beginning. 1-9 in the first two games of the season. 0-3 in the division the last two years.

He took no reps last week so he came off the bench totally cold with this offense

The wait is becoming excruciating. If I had it my way we would never have a game beyond 1 PM EST.

This year was different.  All 3 of our losses revolved around the health of the QB.

Getting close to game time. Dark awful early tonight. Go Bengals!

[NUGDUKWE]

Well I'm ready for the game. I wasn't anticipating how much the time change would make this start feel even later. Come on already.

Is this the first game Carman is active? I hope it's not an indication of Orlando Brown's health . Carman literally seems to only play LT adequately, so makes me wonder if he's active as OBJ's backup.

[bengalrick]

Hey Chris Simms, it BENgals not BANGals……… he’s as dumb as his dad

Thanks. I hadn't noticed. Probably just "insurance" for OBJ the last couple.of weeks with the groin concern.

[Joelist]

Only an hour to go. As I expected we got no help from any of our division rival opponents (not surprising considering they are all average teams at best). Oh well, we will need to make our own progress. Let's hope for a clean game with no injuries and few flags and a Bengal win!

He jumped over D'Ante Smith in the depth chart
