I understand the the frustration of losing Burrow, but we have no idea how much time he’s going to miss.

That was a tough loss last night, but there is still a lot of football left. The AFC is a clusterfuck, and a lot of teams are going to beat each other up.

I get the tiebreaker stuff, but if Bengals make a run a lot of that can correct itself naturally. They still have 6 AFC games left, and 3 North ones.The team looked good last night overall until the injury. They responded to that punch well and looked like they could take control of the game after the touchdown. I think the wind was taken out of their sails in the moment and it affected both sides of the ball. Shit happens.

Now if Burrow is out for a bunch of games then yeah, we are probably done. But I would at least wait until we learn more. If it’s short term then it’s possible. I think they can beat the Steelers at home with Browning.

    The odds are just stacked against them. They don’t just need to play well, they need to play great and literally go on a heater to have a chance. 10 wins probably isn’t enough. We also need other AFC teams to falter.

    I’d feel differently if the defense wasn’t so bad. They’re … bad. Maybe Battle starting and getting Hubbard back will help… but damn.

    Is it possible? Yes. If they can figure it out, that would be a fun experience but my expectations are low. There’s a chance we finish with 9-10 wins and still end up last in the division.
