At this point?

Hate .to root for a loss but it’s better for everyone involved at this point.

Heck, the Bengals don't even lose when they are supposed to. The win against DET is probably going to cost them at least 2-3 spots further down in the draft. Kinda glad to see the fight in them again, but winning yesterday served very little positive purpose. I think it was more detrimental than good. I have two selfish reasons why it would be better for them to lose the finale against BAL...first is draft position, second is to keep BUF out of the playoffs. I hate the bills and their fans.

You know for the coming draft, we will get a QB or WR or an RB. Because that's what we do with our first pick.

Yeah... It wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't rolled over two straight weeks. As I'm watching it, I'm unenthusiastically pulling for them, but a loss helps a lil more at this point.... It was nice to see them look like pros though.

Just think..they're gonna draft guys who'll look great in next year's pre season games in the 4th quarter!
You can almost feel the tingling already I bet. 
We're the champions of 4th quarter preseason games against undrafted scrubs! Hold your heads high 4th quarter preseason fans!

We would have a top 10 pick which would be enticing to a new coach as well as a AJ trade if the Bengals win the RFA vs FA argument. Just curious what everyone else thinks.

I don't care. But as long as it advances the next team that could prevent the Steelers from advancing.

I never ever encourage the Bengals to lose.
A win over the Ravens means some of these young players like Westerman and Redmond are going in the right direction as far as their development especially olive development
What does it really matter if the Bengals are picking at 9 11 or 12?
Just as long as they get a player that can make a DIFFERENCE right away
The Pats and Steelers never pick in the top 10 12 and they seem to make the playoffs
Some of you get too caught up.in draft position

Well Marv says we got some pretty important games coming up so...

And these players will be let go if this organization stays true to form.

Ha! Just spent some time on a Lions board and its pretty much the same arguments against team ownership and coaching staffs.. It's copy and paste where the names have been changed to protect the innocent or not so innocent..
We really do share common threads with Lions fans other than just I-75 and the time zone. The only real difference is the longevity of our beloved head coach v Caldwell.. 
Did I just say beloved? Freudian slip..

Quote:especially olive development

We're definitely developing olives..
Our olives are extra extra extra virginal.. And judging by our pass protection in most games I'd say they're pretty darn oiled up so not much sticks..

They haven’t taken a QB with their first pick in 15 years.
