This is the healthiest this team has been all year *knock on wood*. I believe every starter will most likely play this week, other than Dax Hill who is out for the year.
It'll be interesting to see how this team really looks with a full compliment of players. Now is the time to start stacking wins and go on a run with healthy players and a soft schedule. Let's get it.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy

Bengals play against 2 teams between now and the Bye Week who are under .500, so if the Bengals are trending up, there should be AT LEAST 2 wins over the next 5.
However, to really get back into the playoff fold, they will need to go 3-2 or better.
The big games I see are vs PHI (will Hurts and co. run all over this defense?) and at BAL and LAC.
CLE could also be tough but less worried about it now that even if Chubb is activated for this game, it will be his first game back from serious injury, so he might not get an entirely full load. Also, Cooper traded away helps reduce their effectiveness in the passing game (even though it wasn't very effective anyway).
The "easiest" win I think is the Raiders.
If the Bengals go 3-2, they'll be 5-6 with 2x PIT, DAL, DEN, CLE, and TEN to finish out the season.
3-3 after the Bye should be the minimum expectation.
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.

Any give Sunday right. This year shows us it’s not likely. We’ve beaten the panthers and the giants. Both will be a bottom 5 team end of year. We barely beat the giants. The season is done when you compare all of Bengal nation’s dreams: Super Bowl appearance at least, if not win.
I think this team will always be in the mix for a playoff slot and if some other team messes up we sneak in. Either way we’re not a Super Bowl team. The franchise needs to do some serious soul searching and ask who do they want to be. Do they want to just say “we have burrow, when you have burrow, you’re always a contender”? Or do they actually get aggressive NOW and the off-season and make moves to reshape this roster. There’s a lot of change to the roster that can and should happen. Simply extending chase and franchising Tee again is not the solution. They need to get creative. Lots of possibilities but they need to do some out of the box thinking.

A good chunk of the season is already gone, so we better get stacking faster than Randy Bullock at the Frisch's breakfast bar.

Kansas City and Baltimore appear to be "super Bowl Teams"....and even when not healthy ...the bengals more than held their own...time will tell...I dont think many changes are necessary....they juts were extremely not well on defense and now we are getting healthy ..thank god

It definitely has to, they haven't won back to back games yet this season.

I said it earlier, my hope is based on I am confident a healthy Bengals team can rip off 7 or 8 wins in a row. I think we are that good on offense and a healthy defensive line rotation is huge as we saw against the Giants. Those who knock the Giants offense, they went into Seattle a week earlier and dominated the Seahawks.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

7 or 8 in a row begins with 2 in a row. Let's get this party started!
