We will not win many, if any games, without him. This injury could be the final nail in the coffin for the season

Browns played the Chiefs a lot tougher than we did, no pushovers there. Raiders are a lost cause but the Broncos are no 'easy' win by any means.
With the D playing as it is and the injuries, this team has a tough road ahead of it.

A "realist" looks at match ups. And this match up with the Saints does not bode well in any scenario for the Bengals. Our best offensive weapon is AJ Green, period. Without him defenses can play straight up. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see this. Just pure common sense, or keeping it "real" if you will. How does this offense score enough points to beat the Saints when our defense is like a sieve? Boyd, Erickson, Ross, Malone, Core, Tate, Uzomah? C'mon man. I like most of these players but at best we score 24 if all have great days. The Saints might score that much by the 2nd quarter!

Unfortunately it's being heard as a negative defeatist mentality. "Being a realist" is perceived as wallowing in sorrow. Can the Bengals beat the Saints? Yes there's always luck and a snowball's chance in hell. The Bills have 3 passing TDs in the whole season but managed beating the Vikings. I honestly didn't think the Bills could beat another NFL team going into the season. To get to the point. People don't like someone(you)snuffing out hope. Call it "whining, squealing, whimpy" or whatever. That's what they're really getting at.

I just object to the term "realists" when the "realist" have been proven wrong before. There were many years when the "realists" said we would have a losing record but we made the playoffs. and I am sure there were a bunch of Eagle "realists" who said they could not win the super bowl last year. So feel free to be negative about things. You have the right. Just don't claim that your opinion is based on reality when you really don't know what reality holds in store.

A "realist" might say that our odds of winning without AJ Green are diminished. Even though this team has won without him on the field. How is that not being realistic? Yes this team has won without AJ. Yes their chances have diminished and will be going forward. Both of those statements are correct... are they not?

Just a little FYI. The Dr that is looking at AJ's toe is currently being sued by former Viking Sharrif Floyd for damaging the nerves in his knee after a simple surgery....

I absolutely agree with the people who say our chances of winning are diminished without Green. The people I was talking about are the ones who said Green was out for the season or that the season was "finished" before they had any idea how long Green would even be out.

And when you do that many surgeries, sometimes shit happens. And nothing says it was his fault that Floyd has defective nerves...

Hobson's take on whether or not to sign a vet WR:
As for the A.J. Green situation, how long is he going to be out? A week? Two weeks? A month? I don’t think they know, which makes things a lot tougher. In a season that began with the release of Brandon LaFell, is anyone surprised they’re not signing an older receiver? Maybe I’m nuts, but if there’s one team that shouldn’t be signing a veteran receiver, isn’t it the Bengals? There’s nobody out there that can run like John Ross and Josh Malone and isn’t it time to find out if they can play or not? Do we know? They’ve got 39 NFL targets between them in two years and that’s it. The one thing I do know is if they’re not the two fastest guys on the field this Sunday, it’s by a lean. That’s the frustrating thing to me. You’ve got all this speed that can break a game open and people are burying these two kids and they have yet to turn 23 years old. Yes, Ross has had his struggles. He’s also got the longest TD catch on the team. Yes, Malone turned one of his targets into a pick. But he’s had only four balls thrown at him this year. That’s enough to draw a walk, not a death sentence. Nothing scares the bejeezus out of me more than a veteran receiver coming over at the beginning of the season, never mind in mid-year. They don’t know the quarterback, they don’t know the system and everybody can get ugly quickly. (By the way, how’s it going in Baltimore with John Brown, Willie Snead and Michael Crabtree, all new this year with the Ravens? It hasn’t been all bad, but not great, either. They’ve thrown the most passes in the league, have lost three straight and are 4-5). Go back a little. The presence of Michael Westbrook nearly got second-year receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh cut. OK. Go back a lot. In his one season here, 36-year-old Terrell Owens was their best receiver. But the reality TV show was a killer while the reality was a talent like Jerome Simpson didn’t play until the end of the year and they found out they had something. You wonder if Simpson had played sooner how things might have panned out for him. Just wondering. Here’s my thought for the day. The faster, logical answers seem to be here. At the very least, we’ll get some answers. It seems to me they’re in a can’t-win situation. Bring in a vet and they get killed for letting go a young talent like Tate, although I doubt he’s going to play much at all from scrimmage. https://www.bengals.com/news/hobson-s-choice-stretching-for-a-run

The Chiefs were playing us for the top seed in the AFC. I guarantee they were up for that game. The Browns are the Browns. One reason they have a lot of close losses is that nobody is giving the Browns their best shot.
