Bengals technically should be able to afford a couple more losses before being "out of it," but what's the likelihood of going 7-2 after seeing the product on the field in the first 8 games?
It's possible they turn things around, but I think as each week goes by, more and more fans are getting into this "Time for next year" mindset.
Fielding a great team through FA is going to get even harder from here on out, especially if they sign Chase to a mega deal.
Improving the scouting department and coaching staff to better identify players and coach them up will be critical in the coming few years to get back into the contender category.
I don't think it will happen, but the Bengals were 3-5 in 2012. It *could* happen, but I doubt it. Just saying it ain't over yet....
