Griever Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I've been wondering what everyone's feelings are on comfort level at the BYE week depending on how these next two games shake out. We play KC and TB: (4 - 4) - The absolute worst case scenario at this point. Not only would they be dropping a game away at KC (pretty much accepted at this point), but also dropping a game at home...to the Bucs (unacceptable). To me, this wouldn't offer much hope going forward, especially if Bal, Pit, and Cle all win at least one game in the next two weeks (Pit on BYE next week). (5 - 3) - Not great, but not necessarily bad either. Win one you lose one, still in pretty good shape. Obviously we'd prefer to have a conference win in there but either way we'll gladly take the "W" from either team. (6 - 2) - The best case scenario, which would be spectacular. Not only defending our home turf against an opponent who I believe isn't as talented as the Bengals, but more importantly a win on the road IN PRIMETIME which puts the league on notice. I think this catapults their confidence level and propels them to division champs. The second half of the season is filled with divisional matchups (50%!). Finishing strong before the bye is crucial if we want to see our boys back in the Playoffs. Who Dey!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhfinks Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 well i believe we let two games slip past us and we should be 6-0! However after the injuries we are facing this week and the opponent, I would be very happy with 5-3, 4-4 would be ok but disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthPaw Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 5-3. little doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esjbh2 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 5-3 and not very happy about it. If we drop to 4-4...well...uhhhhh...ummmmmm...I dunno what to say. Still have my fingers crossed on 6-2, but seems like too much to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleEarl Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 5-3. A loss at KC, two in a row, will negate what could be a trap game at home vs TB. If the Bengals find a way to win at KC I still predict 5-3 as Lewis will not have them ready and they will fall right into the trap and lose to TB.

You're not wrong. Also the folks telling us getting rid of Marvin will bring back the bad 90s Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
