I haven't had such a profound lack of confidence in our Bengals as a guaranteed loss with zero shot to win a game ..... in years now!

In years past, it didn't matter who we were going to play or where, we were going to be competitive and could squeak out a win if we dialed in our talent and focus.

This year is such BUST.

I imagine this is what it feels like to be at Carolina Panther fan this year too.  Super Bowl contender ....to ... the bottom fell out pretender. All in one season.

I can't argue we are on a very bad path. However, if we lose today looking ahead our schedule softens a little. We will be 2-4 having played 2 home games and 4 road games with a loss. I look at our home schedule and know if they get their act together will be favored in at least 5 of the 6 remaining games. 

So let's say the finish 5-1 at home rest of the way. I know one game is in London which ticks me off as we are a team with hold field advantage so that hurts us.
Then we have games on the road against the Ravens and the Browns, I think both are winnable. We struggle against the Texans, but I think the loss of Watt is huge and we beat that at Houston 2 years ago soundly, so it is winnable. I think the Giants game is also winnable.

My point is we don't have a tough road or home schedule the rest of the way so way too early to throw in the towel even if we get spanked by arguably he best team in the NFL today where Brady is 48-1 against AFC teams outside the East division in his career.
