Drama for the Bengals!

They are still a dangerous team with Chase, Higgins, and Burrow. We'll have our hands full playing them twice. I'll be happy with a split. I'll tell you this. We ain't beating them with just field goals. My hot take is that Bengals still make the playoffs.

 

Bengals are a hot mess. JaMaar Chase is up for a new contract. Tee Higgins is in his last year and will move on. Burrows contact is going to cripple that team. Zac Taylor will not get fired cause ownership is stuck in their old ways. Defense is terrible. They have no leadership whatsoever and it will be that way for a few more years until ownership gets out of the way which isn’t any time soon.

 

I think two sleeper teams I would not write off just yet are Bengals and Dolphins. Seems Tua wants to earn that money. That's me I'm on an Island with a golf course in the South Pacific.

 

When bad things happen to the other 3 AFCN teams I still sleep peacefully.

 

Today, 3West teams, 2 North teams, the Bills, and the Texans are the 7 playoff teams. Denver is #7 at 6-5. The Colts are 1st team out at 5-6.


With 6 games to go anything can happen.

 

7 and no not Ben

 

I mean.....


Unless the Bengals can play defense a bit better, I still like our chances this season better against Cincinnati. For that matter, Pittsburgh now has the CBs to take on Cincy's WR room. The Steelers pass rush is still as dangerous as ever.


One major omission people may have forgotten; this isn't Matt Canada's Offense anymore. Yes, Arthur Smith didn't call a great game yesterday but he has been great thus far all season for the Steelers. Granted, any competent OC is leagues about Canada but Arthur Smith as an OC has been cookin' for the Steelers; doubly so in T.O.P. Pittsburgh ranks third best for Offense and third best for Defense per TeamRankings.


Now yes, scoring has to improve; Pittsburgh ranking top in RedZone Opportunities but only 20th in RedZone Scores for TDs only and 30th in RedZone Scoring Percentage; again from TeamRankings. That said, I expect this current list of rankings to pick up a bit.

 

Yes they are still dangerous. They are scoring 30s in their losses.

 

JaMarr, from what I've read, has decided that he doesn't want to be a Bengal next year. Just the things he's saying after the loss are alienating teammates, coaches....

 

It gets worse for the Bengals. Bart Simpson will be the coach
