We can win out
#21
This team is not beating the Chargers, and at best we are splitting with the Steelers. So that's at least two more losses.

Season's done.
Everything in this post is my fault.

We lost by a point to the Chiefs in their building we steamrolled Bills in their building no reason we cant do it again. 4-6 and running the table isn't impossible

Yes - We held an explosive offense to 7 1st half points. Then, imploded in the most unimaginable way in the 2nd half and looked like the Keystone Cops out there. We also get zero pressure on a QB.

On offense, we can score. But, we can't run the ball. And Burrow took a lot of hits and looked injured.

Odds are better they lose out then win out. They can’t put anyone away.had the lead against KC and Baltimore twice, and can put them away.

It's interesting to me that we'll look good one half, then terrible the 2nd half...and most fans see the team as sucking and just figuring out ways to lose.

And a very small amount of the fan base sees that good and see us winning out.

I wish I could be optimistic about the Bengals, but I've been here since the 90's.

For sure we can, we outplayed the Ravens last night. Just sucks almost always being on the short end of the stick in these close games.

The Defense just cannot make enough stops against these elite Offenses.

Loved how Chase Brown played last night, not just running and catching but his effort in pass protection was awesome. The fumble hurt, 
but I think about any RB would of fumbled on that play and he should learn from it and get down before that happens again.

We were up 21-7 in the 3rd quarter. This didn't have to be a close game.

After the Brown fumble, the defense imploded. That's a sign of way bigger issues.

This isn't some good team that's just losing because of bad luck. There are massive structural problems with this team.

Cannot disagree. But you have to also look at the opponent. The Ravens are tough especially when Lamar plays like that. In their house 
and yes, after the fumble I knew they were going to come back. Just the way the NFL goes when going against a good team at home.

Wish our Defense could make a damn stop late in games. Also, I might add that Jordan Battle was playing very well early in this game 
and we took him out and put Geno Stone in there who was pathetic. Terrible move.

This team can 100% beat the chargers. I will go on record saying they WILL beat the chargers, convincingly. If this team can sneak in as a 7 seed, which I still think happens, they will have been very battle tested. Looking at last night, they can win anywhere anytime, with a little cleanup.

The Chargers do not have near the Offense the Ravens have right now, completely agree. Young players in Kris Jenkins, McKinnley 
Jackson and 2nd year players in Jordan Battle and DJ Turner can still grow. Lou gives me pause though as does that Defensive implosion
after being up 21-7 in the 3rd. But our Offense will be very hard to stop for the rest of our opponents this season.

Burrow and Chase are on fire and I like our TE's a lot.

Better not be, this guy sucks in both pass coverage and at stopping the run. Jordan Battle is ten times the player IMO.

Stone just got interceptions last season and the team thought that could continue. Battle was never the problem on D.

Beating Pittsburgh twice is where the rub lies. Chances of doing that aren't very good.

I do like Mims at RT much better than Jonah, that is the part that gives me some hope in beating the stealers. Cannot let Twatt rule.

Mims will not be rag dolled like Jonah was...

I agree! I haven't looked at how he graded out but seemed that Madubuike done most of his damage up the middle and on from the left side last night. 

He's had a couple of hiccup games, but that's to be expected. And, he seems to be learning and improving with each snap. 

Watt may beat him with some veteran savvy a couple of times, but TJ Watt damn sure isn't going to throw Mims around.  Hilarious

Yeah, Madubuikie was beating Volson like a drum all night. Mims may like you say get beat at times, but he will handle anybody with his size, 
strength, athleticism and most of all, his balance. Dude is light years better than Jonah at RT in my opinion already.

We have a QB playing at MVP level. We could beat any team in the league.

That said, we shoot ourselves in the foot constantly.

True, need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot for a start. But by then though it might be too late. It might be too late already.

I said 9-8 before the season and Ive seen little reason to amend that thus far. Except now I think I was being too optimistic

Could be. If the team keeps shooting themselves in the foot like this we will be lucky to make it back to .500 let alone 9 wins but nothing
would surprise me if they stop shooting themselves in the foot and play like they are capable. Make the right moves, bench Volson, move 
Karras to LG, start Lee at Center, start Battle, bench Geno Stone etc.

We've done it before. We ended 22 on a 8 game winning streak (should have been 9 after Buffalo quit) and we beat some good teams
