The Bengals Fan in me wants to believe we're gonna turn this ship around and a good showing at NE even in a close loss might do it ? 31-27 or something
But the realist in me (the vast majority) knows that this team is still in a funk from the Pittsburgh implosion last year. Their belief in Marvin and Co. and themselves, is very badly bent. And the blowout that's most likely coming will probably break them.
2-4 is not unrecoverable for a good team, like they are, that believes in themselves and their coaching staff/system. But I don't think they believe. Only being able to lose one more game out of 10 remaining ?? I'd say anything less than 11-5 is a crap shoot at making it. Very small margin for error, and this team in no way looks like they're gonna reel off 5 or 6 wins in a row.
I'll watch the game and hold out hope. But if I had to bet I'd say we're heading downhill and the only thing left to hope for is MB waking up and cleaning house.
Well ummmmm
