It's the dead cat bounce. The pressure is off and they're beating bad teams.

Then, what usually happens is management views this as progress and doesn't change out personnel for the next season.

How is the pressure off?

This sounds made up

bad teams out of the race have players who do not give 100% at the end of the season

you can believe what you want though. Im sure you disagree

Thank goodness for the last-minute 31-yard bomb to Chase for a TD. Justin Jefferson is on his heels for receiving yards.

Yes sir Nepa. Monster achievement for Ja'Marr if he can pull it off and he will always be fighting against his good buddy JJ for records.

Darnold is having a good year for the Vikings, but I don't see JJ ever having a QB as good as Joe Burrow to throw to him.

Both are great WR's, but I wouldn't trade Ja'Marr for Justin either.

Well next 2 games are quality opponents, what kind of bounce is that if we win? A good dog bounce??

[Gdale_Bengal]

If they can beat Menver next Saturday I’ll believe, but they beat dog shit teams but can’t beat any team with quality coaching this year. Next week is play off game #3

Playoff hopes took a devastating hit today. Look at remaining schedules for Indy and Dolphins. This was the only week there was a chance they’d drop a game.

Tonight all but sealed it.

No, I agree we've had a stretch of playing some bad teams. But that doesn't mean the pressures off. You can believe what you want. I'm sure you'll disagree

Any given Sunday honestly. There’s always upsets. I think one will most. Not sure about both.

We play on. Any given Sunday.

At the very least we will go into week 17 and maybe week 18 with a chance.... considering how this season has went it's depressing but hopeful.

I just pray that ownership doesn't take this late surge as anything meaningful... we've beat some bad teams that gave up down the stretch

No shit. The Patriots were owning the Bills earlier today.

This team is just different in December and January. They can beat anyone and the Defense DOES look better.

If the D can be opportunistic on top of our QB and Offense playing great we can beat anyone even the Chiefs as we have shown in the past.

I know the Chiefs don't want us to make the Playoffs that is for damn sure.

And given that some were saying just a few weeks ago that the coaches had lost the team, sure seems like the team is united and playing their hearts out. Sure looked like a united team in the locker room after the game.

[*bfine32*]

I heard the announcers say something today. I may have misheard but they said the Bengals have lost 4 games when scoring 30 points or more. The rest of the NFL have lost 1.

They're beating very bad teams. They've beat bad teams all year and lost to average to good teams. They find ways to lose to those teams.

The script is same. Good offenses shred the defense.
