Do we tank this game vs New Orleans?

While Saints have been good on the road so far, it's gonna be pretty cold Sunday, plus it's a classic trap game after a big home victory last week. On the other hand we could completely suck and lay down like the doormat we were in Kansas City. But even more likely from knowing our Bengals, they give us the worst thing we could have...hope! They come out hot and dominate the first half, and we get all warm and fuzzy all over. But then, in another Bengal tradition, we play not to lose and Drew Brees warms up and rolls us in the 4th quarter. But, I'll keep hoping we put together a complete game and take one huge step towards (dare I say it?) the playoffs! Who Dey!

This is my fear as well. We'll play with them in the first half, perhaps even be in the lead a bit.

Then we'll pull our 3rd qtr. disappearing offense act and New Orleans will pull to far ahead for us to overcome it. 2.5 points in the 3rd isn't going to cut it against the big boys.
