on the road no less. regardless of being without our number 1 qb , receiver tightend 3rd best pass rusher, and with a little luck we still have the potential to win our first playoff game in 26 years. I give it a 5 percent chance of happening but its better than nothing.

The playoff system is kinda broken when you consider the chargers will not get a home playoff game but what ever crap team wins our division will.

We owe the Chargers one if it happens and thats an extremely huge if at this point. Last time we played them in the playoffs we were clearly the better team and they won. This time the situation would definitely be reversed by some Christmas miracle Marvin wins a playoff game this season give him a lifetime contract i have lowered my expectations as a fan

Better keep Marvin then. All the Bengals need is for everyone to stay healthy, then SUPER BOWLZ!!!!!! :andy: :andy: :andy: :andy:
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

I still want Marvin replaced until he wins a playoff game. Even if he wins this season we could do better but we will be Atlas giving the Lions that huge weight on their back instead of ours.

Is this is what it has come to for some Bengal fans? Not even winning but coming close enough to win against a good team makes us a deep playoff contender?
Underachievers are even shaking their heads at this point...

Really? What kind of numbers do you think Dalton would of put up without AJ Green and Eifert against that team with a crappy Oline getting so many flags.

I don't think him matching Driskels 174 yards is all that out of the question.
The chargers game was all about the improved Defense under Marvin (which if anything will be the reason he returns), and a strong run game. I think Dalton can hand it off just fine.

Dalton folds like a lawn chair in some games. Do you really think the D would be playing this good with Dalton at the helm? They didn't start playing decent till they got a QB that they think can get the team wins.

Are you saying the defense never played good under Dalton?
And unfortunately they haven't won anything with Driskel. So I guess if I listen to you, you can't trust them to pick a QB.

Pretty sure the Chargers were looking past us to the game last night. A la the Bills beat the Vikings, Raiders beating Steelers etc.

Not this year they haven't and Dalton didn't play well when the D was playing bad. Driskel at least puts up a fight even if all the stars are not in line.

That not even taking into account Driskel has had 2 NFL starts and Dalton is an 8 year vet.
