What if we go 0-3?

Does it leave a salty taste in the coaching staff and the FO against Chase's hold-in, or Tee's weakness, or our weak WR depth, or our weak RB squad, or our new OC? Does it put pressure on Zac or Lou?

Any given Sunday. What do you say?

Here is what the experts on NFL shows say every Week 3 each year.  The ex Coaches and Players on NFL Pre Game such as John Madden in his day, always say that no teams ever start 0-3 and make the play-offs.  You can stat 0-2 and make the play-offs, but not 0-3. 

So if Bengals lose, they can't make play-offs.  If you start with 3 losses, stick a fork in Bengals, they are done.  

So this is a MUST WIN GAME if Bengals have any hopes of going back to pay-offs with Burrow this season. 

If they start 0-3, they spent a lot of money on franchise tag of Higgins for nothing.  They could finish out of the play-offs without him.  This team has a large payroll if they start 0-3, because you can start 0-3 for half the payroll.
