Forget The Trolls... We're going 6-2!

Bengals played emotionless, already defeated after that. Good coaching wouldn't have allowed that to happen.

In the Denver game, what can you say? Bengals took all of the momentum with that sequence of goal line INT, drive for score, pinning Denver deep, INT, short scoring drive to take the lead. The entire world knew Peyton Manning wasn't going to fold, but the Bengal coaches failed to continue to press on offense, until it was too late. Another blown, very winable game.

You nailed it. I was watching Pittsburgh vs. Giants and they got hosed on a fumble returned for a touchdown call, and a terrible unnecessary roughness call that led to another touchdown and they shook it off, and said eff that we're still winning this thing. If that happened to us the rout would've been on.

When a team loses to a team with 0 wins...it's impossible to look at the remaining schedule and count wins...especially when our best win is against a 3-6 team.

Here is why ...

We will beat the Chiefs . I really do not see us losing 6 in a row .
The next 4 games are

Chiefs WIN They may be on of the worst teams in the nfl
Raiders WIN Can i say more
Chargers WIN Rivers just aint the same
Cowboys WIN They find ways to lose worse than we do .

This would sit us at 7-6

Next game is the Eagles . There is a good chance vick dont play by then . and even if he does there d suks and he is a turn over machine king . I see a WIN here .

NOW 8-6

next game is pit . i say we lose .

Now 8-7

Last game is the ravens at home . Balt may be locked by then an may be sitting players if so thats a sure WIN . If not i still think we have a shot . Cook will be healthy by then as well as a few other players . I say its 60/40 we will this game .

So as you can see it is more than possible we have a winning season an even a chance we back door the playoffs .

Here you go, got this ready for you on Monday morning...

Here is why ...

We will beat the giants . I realy do not see us losing 5 in a row .
The next 4 games after the giants are

Chiefs WIN They may be on of the worst teams in the nfl
Raiders WIN Can i say more
Chargers WIN Rivers just aint the same
Cowboys WIN They find ways to lose worse than we do .

This would sit us at 8-5

Next game is the Eagles . There is a good chance vick dont play by then . and even if he does there d suks and he is a turn over machine king . I see a WIN here .

NOW 9-5

So as you can see it is more than possible we have a winning season an even a chance we back door the playoffs .

It's possible. Just look at the '09 Steelers who had a 5 game losing streak taking them from 6-2 to 6-7 with 3 games left. Is it possible for our Bengals team to get to 6-7 at the end of week 14. I would say the chances of that are actually very likely. What happened was the Steelers won their last 3 games and snuck in as a Wild Card. They ended up going to the Super Bowl.

In no way shape or form am I saying this team is like the '09 Steelers. I'm just pointing out that that sub .500 teams can come back and make the playoffs late in the season. People shouldn't give up hope yet because really I see 4 teams that just aren't good and the Bengals have a great shot against. Dallas, Oakland, KC, and Philly. Kick it off with a Giants win this week and there is no doubt in my mind that this team will beat those 4.

Well then it's a good thing we only play 3 teams the rest of the season with a winning record. (Giants, Steelers, Ravens)

Here are the records of the 5 remaining opponents:

Chargers: 4-4
Dallas: 3-5
Philly: 3-5
Oakland: 3-5
KC: 1-7

By no means is the 2nd half schedule as ridiculous as people make it out to be. If, and I repeat if, we beat the Giants, the season will start to take a really nice swing. Let's hold all judgement until after Sunday.

The sad thing about it is all those teams you listed are looking at their schedule and see a win for them. The bengals are not a threat nor a feared team I bet KC can't wait to get us at home to get some of their bad habits corrected.

Our schedule was much easier this season than last year in reality.

3 out of the 5 losses came to teams below .500. Cleveland didn't even have a win. I just can't be very positive about the schedule.

[Clark W Griswold]

Wow...some of you have to be kidding. What makes anyone think we can beat the Giants. They are everything the Bengals are not. It would be a huge upset if we somehow won this game. Some of you say we will win because you can't see us losing 5 in a row? What kind of logic is that? The Bengals have lost 5 or more in a row numerous times.

You also think we are going to go to SD and beat the Chargers? When's the last time e Bengals won a west coast game? SD is not a good team anymore but they are still better than the Bengals. Dallas is better than Cincy too. Balt and Pitt will beat us easily like they usually do.

People on here make me laugh saying that we are better than anyone right now. This is a bad team with a crappy coach. Accept it and quit being delusional.

Nobody wants to believe more than me, but the evidence is just so damning. Inconsistent, undisciplined, sloppy, like so many of Marvin's teams before. I'm anxious to believe. Just give me one game to hang my hat on.

That's why this Giants game is so pivotal.

[RageForOrder]

the loss to the browns killed us and gives me no reason to believe we can win no more
than maybe 1 or 2 games the rest of the way .

We said that last week too. We had every chance to win that game, just like every other one with the Ravens being the only exception. We could EASILY be 5-2 right now.

We are better than JAX and KC.


Boom.

[CINCYPRODUCT]

Just heard this on NFL am and you know what I agree. Though our season is tanking so are other teams seasons and guess what we play them. Don't give up quite yet.

[SHRacerX]

I don't really care for the expression "signature win", but if the Bengals could win this game....it would qualify. More importantly, it would get this team rolling in the right direction. They could steam roll the Cheifs and Raiders, and then their record would be 6-5.

If Marvin Jones and Cook were to get healthy during that time, the run game could improve substantially. Yes, even with BJGE.

If Pat Sims were able to come back and contribute on the defensive line, it could also pay dividends.

These are big "ifs", but we know Cook and Sims can play. And we know the team is worse without them. I honestly believe Marvin Jones, Cook, and Sanu can give this offense what it is missing and they could really start rolling.

If Dre Kirkpatrick is showing why he was a first round pick after easing him in over the next three games, he could be a fresh player that positively impacts the defense down the stretch as well.

I see the schedule like this:

Giants- WIN

Cheifs- WIN

Raiders- WIN

Chargers- WIN

Cowboys- WIN

Eagles- WIN

Steelers- LOSS

Ravens- WIN

That puts them at 10-6, and likely in the playoffs... It all has to start with a win against the Giants. That win could get this team believing.

So in other words, the Bengals are the most polished turd? Whoo, that's something to hang your hat on.

[SunsetBengal]

Yay, we're the best losers...

[Magikod]

Anything is possible.

[THE PISTONS]

Oh...there is a chance that 8-8 makes it.

But, with our power win being against the Redskins who are 3-6...

And our record should be 6-2 or 5-3 at worst now.

Even if 8-8 makes it, it won't make it with a 2-5 record in the AFC, because then you lose the first tiebreaker. Even then I highly doubt 8-8 makes it. Indy already has 6 wins, putting them far and away as the favorites for the first wildcard spot.. then the Steelers are 5-3 lining up for the 2nd wildcard spot. Those two teams would have to TANK the rest of the season to not get 9 wins.
