I fee like I'm whining, when I'm happy that the Bengals are at 3-3 heading into the bye. But..
If the Bengals had shown up to the first game of the season ready to play we could be at 5-1 among the leaders of the NFL and 2 games up in the division. Before today the Bengals had a less than 20% chance to make the playoffs per the oddsmakers. Today the Bengals had 77 yards of offense after the 1st quarter in 8 possessions. If our defense disappeared as often as our offense does, we'd already be talking about the draft.
As a result, I'm not looking for the offense to came alive and become top 5. I'm just looking for them to become better, competent at moving the chains, getting the defense get off the field and scoring 2+ touchdowns (right now the offense has scored 8 TDs in 6 games).
