The Bengals' schedule is no cake walk, especially when you consider how they have played to this point in the year.  The only "for sure" win I see is Cleveland and would not be overly shocked if they lose that one.

Hell, I was cheering for em like they were the Bengals!

Exactly - two more prime time, nuff said

two against Ravens, one more Steelers, Texans, Bills won't be easy, neither will Eagles. This team will have to have an epic recovery to win out !!!!!

This isn't all about Dalton though besides AJ the whole team is bad this year...

Watching that Jets game, I thought the Jets must be really good. Little did I know at the time the Bengals would just be really bad this year.

It all depends on how the OL and defense plays. I think we can beat any team remaining on the schedule if they decide to show up. But I don't think they will. The OL is going to kill our offense and the lack of a defense will make any game hard to win.

McCarron didn't almost have that playoff game won. We almost won despite McCarron. The defense was the only reason we were in that game. Give me a break. Anyone who thinks that doesn't remember how poorly McCarron played.

Only thing I could think is AJ Green poor guy has the red head throwing to him and is still great playing in this dysfunction.

The problem isn't Dalton. Yes early on he was a choker when it came to big games. When people would point that out, at that time, they were called haters by those who have some sort of mixed up gender crush going on with Dalton. These Dalton fanatics really did Dalton a disservice by making a bunch of excuses for him.

But that was Bad Andy and we really haven't seen Bad Andy since 2014.

Dalton has improved A LOT. He's changed his game A LOT. He's a MUCH BETTER leader for the offense than ever before.

Now Marvin and Mikey are another story entirely. These two blokes have their heads up their rears so far that daylight is a distance memory. Marvin Lewis has brought a whole new meaning to sucking in big games.

Betcha with a different owner and coaching staff he will win a SB. Just not in Cincinnati for obvious reasons.

[*Awful Llama*]

While they are mathematically alive, I do not believe they can accomplish what they need to accomplish.
As Mo was saying on his show today: are they capable of beating Buffalo? Yes. Baltimore? Yes. Philadelphia? Yes. All three of them in a row?

We're dead, we're just not broke yet.

[OBX Bengal]

As far as hopes for the Bengals making the playoffs, I am treading water and gasping for air.

I don’t see any team in the AFC North getting a wildcard.

This is how I see the chances for a division win:

Baltimore    40%
Pittsburgh   35%
Cincinnati    24%
Cleveland      1%

['E']

Absolutely no chance of this team getting thier crap together in time to win this division this year. Bye bye playoff streak.

 Singing to the choir. 

Around these parts Dalton is the shiznit, but he doesn't stink.

[Butchie Tiger]

I'm at the point where I am tired of this team wallowing in mediocrity......
I feel like I wouldn't care to watch another game as long as :

A) Marvin Lewis (the worst coach in the league) is still coaching this team
B) Peko (the most useless player in the NFL) is still on this team .
c) Andy Dalton (the most un-clutch QB in the league) is still the starting quarterback of this team.

[*Go Cards*]

The division is horrid so there is a chance at that.

Believe the wild card ship has sailed though.

Yet even the division is a long shot with the trench play.

[motoarch]

Lots of crying in here.

A Baltimore loss to Dallas this weekend along with a Pitt win vs Cleveland and a Cincy win against the Bills and its 5-5, 5-5 and 4-5-1.

If the Bengals lose to the Bills I'll pack it in but if they pull out win then back it up by beating Baltimore the following week how many of you will be back on the bandwagon? What if that plays out AND the Colts win at home vs. Pitt in week 12? That would be 5-5-1, 5-6 and 5-6.

How you like them apples?


god this division sucks

[J24]

Weirder things have happened in the NFL. What I know about this team is they will not quit and they will fight to the end. You can say what you want about Marvin coached teams but they don't quit. I don't think it will be enough though.

Mediocre Marv and Mike Clown have always been the biggest problem.  Good coaching and good talent can mask ANY player's deficiencies.....just ask Colin Krapernick.
