Sorry but who hasn't entertained this scenario?
Truth...like the year Brady went down in Week 1. It was wide open. I see it as a three team race at the front of the AFC with NE, KC, and pusssyburg (puke). Wild card teams could be Jax, Buff, Jets, Tenn, Denver, Raiders, Ratbirds, and yes, even the Bengals.
There is still an outside chance if they win this week, but we have not seen ANYTHING to make us think this offense can do crap (keeping weapons that could help on the bench in favor of turds is brilliant) and the defense seems uninterested now. Special teams even pooped their pants last week.
However, we have seen teams go from dead (Balt after Jax killed them) to alive (Balt blanked Miami) in a very short time.
Stranger things have happened, but if they lose Sunday, it is officially dead and buried.
