With even an average defense, we have 10-11 wins.
Yep. It'd be interesting to see if there has ever been a defence more detrimental to their team than this Bengals D has been. That's not me saying they're the worst of all time, they aren't that, but have many other team's had a year where their offence is as on fire as ours largely has been, and it be so badly nullified by the defence being so bad?
Bengals with a poor defence are probably at 9 wins. Heck, even with as bad as they've been a little luck and we'd be at maybe 8. This season has been the definition of anti-clutch unfortunately.
Anyway, 1 successful week down, 2 to go. Don't we need the Dolphins to lose as well? I'm probably less confident they'll lose a game than I am about the Colts dropping one. They're a bit like us... a team you'd expect to have done better this year. They have the Browns and Jets left to play....
