A little perspective....

They just came off games where they scored over 30 in consecutive road games.  

It was a horrible loss.  Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.  HOWEVER, it was one game.  They got out of it relatively healthy.  They are still right in the thick of things.  Yes, the defense has looked awful for two straight games.  They will figure it out.  

As far as winning 2-3 more games, that may be right, but there is NO ONE on their schedule that is just demolishing teams.  This was a bad matchup against a desperate team and, as I said earlier, everything that could go wrong did go wrong.  It won't be that every week.  I bet they come back with a big road win against the Raiders and we are all very excited about the team again.  

Reps. Couldn't agree more, this is a little perspective that we need to keep in mind. We had 3 road games in a row followed up 
by a Home game against a desperate rival who has tons of talent. We turned the ball over a ton and that will have you losing to 
even the lowliest teams in the NFL. We are in the thick of it in a tough Division and are 2-1 in the Division and I am not scared 
of the other 2 teams who we already beat soundly in their stadiums.

The Bengals have lost their last 2, including a blowout loss at home and getting upset by the Jets.
The Ravens are 1-2 in their last 3, including a blowout loss at home and getting upset by the Dolphins.
The Brown had lost 3 of 4 before beating the Bengals, and are 2-4 against teams that currently have a winning record. 
The Steelers started out 1-3, and barely won home games against the a terrible QB in Geno Smith and the Chicago Bears.


The division is still very much up for grabs, and the AFC as a whole is pretty much wide open.

Truth, the Ravens loss last night reflects none of the four teams is running away with the division just yet. It's still up for grabs and the Bengals have a chance. PLEASE Zac and Lou, make the right adjustments to put your players in a position to succeed from game to game.

Bengals just need to get their Jekyll ego back more consistently and suppress their alter ego Mr Hyde.

Hoping its only an alter ego anyway.

Yet there is still plenty of time left to make some AFC noise.

Do feel it could go either direction at this juncture. Just not giving up hope that the Bengals head North in the AFCN standings and make a run at a playoff spot.
