Normally, I'd be the first one to point and laugh at the Bengals, and history does tend to suggest that they'll find a way to fuck it up at our place, but they're not 6 from the last 7 by stinking the place up - and this isn't 2009, when we just had to turn up sober to beat them. They're a decent team, and they deserve some respect for that. So do I expect them to come to HF and win? No. Can they? Of course they can. Will they if the Steelers of the last two weeks turn up? If we just think we have to turn up to beat them, like we have in the past, they'll smack us in the mouth. If we do something about the piss-poor play that dogged us in the last two games, then I'm confident that normal service will be resumed.

Can we take a mulligan for this season, draft well and win a title next year?

I believe you're right - the Cleveland game deflated them (which is a shame - because a turnover riddled game where you still only lost by what, like 7? is something you can correct and rebound from - at least a more disciplined team does). I think we can agree that we were all psyched about winning at Bmore, and then "Here comes Ben now after a huge win without him - look out league!" and then we get THIS "team". Ugh

If we lose to the Bengals - might as well start talking about the draft.
