Just heard last night that wide receiver Martavis Bryant is upset at not being used enough and asked for a Trade out of Pittsburgh, adding to the negative Drama.  Still 4 & 2.

Even if the Bengals can win in Pittsburgh next week and embarrass the "3 B's" (Ben, Brown & Bell) they will still be a game ahead of us in the Win column.

Their schedule just got easier now that they get to Host Green Bay without Aaron Rodgers on November 26th.

I hate to say it but barring an injury to one of the "3 B's", it will be a slim chance for the Bengals to pass the Steelers up for this Division.

Have to beat them twice to make it a real race.  IMO

Meanwhile, the Bengals Wildcard chances improved with losses by Jacksonville, Denver, Raiders, Jets & Ravens.

Getting a 1 and 1 spilt of games with the Steelers, then winning key AFC tiebreaker games against the Jags, Colts, Titans, Ravens & Broncos may be the likely best path to the Playoffs for the Bengals.

Then maybe a do or die shot against the Steelers in the Playoffs as the hungry underdog that no one respects.

Well Hell, Why even play the rest of the season then.  Send all the players home. Cancel rest of Bengals games.  Give ticket money back to fans.  Have ownership give money back to TV Networks. Have ownership give revenue sharing back to NFL and the other 31 owners.  Lose a ton of money and maybe another city will buy franchise and move it from Cincinnati to states away.

There are many threads on here today making excuses for why we will lose to Steelers this Sunday and this season.  The NFL is unfair to Burfict.  The Refs let Steelers get away with everything and a different set of rules for them.  Many threads with built in EXCUSES for losing.  Excuses are the crutch of losers. You can be all ready to lose when you have already made your excuse crutches. Of course Bengals haven't played Steelers this season and therefore haven't lost yet, but fans already have the excuse crutches for losing lined up all over this web site. 

So why even play the rest of the season since all the experts have us losing ?......Then again, the experts haven't been very right about anything NFL this year or in years past.....So since the experts are wrong more than right.....Maybe Bengals should go ahead and play the rest of the season.  The game is not played on paper or a computer and is played on the field. Often what happens on the field is different from what gamblers or computer slide ruler geeks predict. Even Collinsworth and Michaels last night on Sunday Night Football said that the NFL games are showing all the NFL experts and pregame shows including theirs are being shown they don't know anything. The scores are the opposite of what the experts predict and so the experts don't know anything. Collinsworth and Michaels agreed that nobody knows anything and all the experts are wrong....So if that is the case, maybe Bengals should just keep playing the season.
