So we could be 8-2 right now but our owner decided to put a guy who had no business being an OC as our OC and he let our o-line fall apart for the hell of it. I tells ya, I can't believe people don't want to play for the Bengals!
We COULD be 8-2 but ehh...let's just be 4-6 because why bother. Think about that...we COULD be vying for the 1st overall seed in the AFC with the Steelers and Patriots and their mult-SB winning HOF QBs
BUT instead Dalton is slumming it with the Jets trotting out a 41 year old never-was QB, the Dolphins who spent all year with extra out of shape Cutler and Moore, the Bills who started a rookie 5th rounder who threw 5 INTs in one half, the Texans who lost their starter for the year, and so on. We sure do put our QBs in a position to succeed in these parts. I wonder why Dalton is the first franchise QB Mike Brown had who might (repeat MIGHT) not demand a trade from here.
Could be up there with the Steelers and Patriots if only we would have done the basic things like get an NFL-level OC and maaaaybe put an o-line on the field. Oh well. Enjoy rooting for the rest of the NFL to help us back into the playoffs over a bunch of .500 teams. Early prediction? We get the 6th seed and go to Jacksonville and see the Green fight clip 10000 times before Bort Bortles of all people beats us in a playoff game. Marvin gets an extension because holy crap you guys, playoffs 7 times in 9 years or something. YES!!! SCORE!!!
We would be 10-0 if it weren't for those meddling kids.
