I can’t with any confidence say this team is going to win anymore games the rest of the way even if Burrow throws no more picks. Every team they see can gang 40 on this defense easily with these performances and Burrow probably can’t win a shootout every week assuming his line holds up.

I see a 5-12 team playing right now and I cant be convinced otherwise until that unit proves otherwise.

I think that depends on the fan.
Some fans like to go to games simply for the atmosphere. They don't care about winning or losing.
Some fans like to go as long as they think there's a chance to win.
Some only care to go if they think the team is a true contender.

Maybe the Bengals have more fans that fall into the last category, but look at the Browns fans. They often sold out or a high percentage of their seats even when they knew year after year their team was going to be bad. 

I'll say this about myself.
I will continue watching games until the team is nearing elimination from playoffs.
I think we won't know that until December.
I think they've got at least 2 more wins in them, if not 3-4 more.
I don't see a double-digit win season though.
