The thread title is "CAN the Bengals beat the Patriots".
The poll question is "WOULD the Bengals beat the Patriots".
I believe they can win because any team can beat any other team, I've seen some awfully "bad" teams beating division leaders in the past.
Would they beat them? It's a bit too far away to determine, but both teams as they're built at this very moment without considering guys coming back from injury and whatnot....I'd give the edge to NE but I don't think it would be an obvious blowout. Our team is very good from top to bottom. I do believe we need to see a lot of different variables throughout the next couple of months to really be able to gauge how the Bengals would realistically matchup with the Patriots.
^^This.
Q: Can they beat them?
A: Absolutely. If you answer "no", them why even play the game?
Q: Would they beat them?
A: Not sure. Is the game here or in Foxborough? This might be the tipping point. It's looking like it should be a good game.
