I Was Afraid Of An 0-3 Start, I Now Think A 2-2 Start

[kevin]

2-2 won't be bad.....some teams will be 0-3 and they can already forget about it.....I looked at the schedule starting with 2 road games. Then Super Bowl Champs....At New York on 9 /11, at Pittsburg, Super Bowl Denver....and I was not happy we got stuck with that, and I saw 0-3 as a real possibility.....I do think they will beat Miami and go to 2-2 on the season....They will get Eifert and Burfict back and I do think this team can make play-offs. .....I say this because of all the fans jumping ship because they thought team would start 8-0 again. ...Jump ship if you want, but I think this team has the best yet to come....

Bengals will WIN in a few days on Thursday....so don't jump off the ledge yet.

Kevin, you are my dude! I can always count on you to build me up!

I'm staying right here with ya, baby!

[OrlandoBengal]

They must win on Thursday. Only 21 teams have made the playoffs after starting 1-3 since 1990. You basically have about a 7% chance, which is really bad...

[Big Boss]

Thursday's a must-win.

[Captain Happy Pants]

I was really pissed we lost today but after looking at the rest of the league, I don't feel so bad about it. Who's still undefeated? Broncos, Vikings, Ravens and Patriots? The way the Steelers lost makes me feel better. Thursday is a must win but I think we roll on the Dolphins

[Whacked]

If they can't beat Miami at home when they're desperate for a win they don't deserve to be in the playoffs. You can justify a lost at home to the reigning champs and at Pittsburgh due to our rivalry but at home against? Inexcusable and on acceptable.

I'm with you on that Steelers loss--that's the best feeling in the world that they got ROMPED! Bwahahaa. I love it. Dickwads

No one is jumping ship because they thought the team would be 8-0.  You're just hearing the typical post-loss grumbling.  A win on Thursday, no matter how ugly, and this board will have them winning all teh superbowlz yet again.

Thursday night. The Dolphins. Primetime. Short week. 1-3 is in our future boys. Better buckle up for it. At best, we're better off hoping to get out healthy.

[kevin]

OH, is anybody else happy STEELERS LOST.....OK, Ravens 3-0, but they won't go undefeated....Browns 0-3 and already out of it....Colts almost went 0-3 but Luck made a play-off game rally to avoid 0-3.

Hahaha you're not wrong. 

It's Primetime Bengal football, this won't be an easy game for us. It will be a struggle until the bitter end, I'm sure.... Unless we have a replay of the Dalton we saw on Thursday night a couple of years ago 

With said said, I expect us to win but we will not blow the Dolphins out

Small joy hanging out at PBS post-game to watch the Browns blow the game-winning FG and then hear the loss later on radio.  To paraphrase Lucy: Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, they're the Charlie Brownest.

Won't here Super Bowl talk from me, even if we beat Miami 63-0. I see this team finishing 8-8 with wins against them, Cleveland twice, the Bills, Redskins, Houston, and Baltimore here. Might get to 9-7 with a win against the Cowboys. I just don't see us beating the Pats, Giants, the Ravens there, Pittsburgh, or Philadelphia.


Golf is a relatively simple game, played by reasonably intelligent people, stupidly.

Thank God for a short week to put this loss behind us and get back to .500

Or (gulp) 1-3.  The fish have had our number of late.  Dare we think it?

[Millhouse]

Bengals at home for a national night game with a short week to prepare, against a team they havent beat in 9 years. Yeah, my confidence is booming for this one

I beleive in this team.

They have the character and can go toe to  toe with this team.

[NATI BENGALS]

13-0 the rest of the way

[*rfaulk34*]

Cardinals and Panthers both 1-2 as well. 

I'm pissed, but not worried yet.
