yea and Richardson has a 47% completion percentage.

Well, I think that is debatable. But at least Richardson has been playing and is more mobile. Flacco is a better pure passer, but is rusty and a sitting duck. And he also can be mistake prone. Higher ceiling but lower floor. 

And there is no debate that the Dolphins are worse off without Tua. 

The upshot is, we got some good news today that improved our slim PO chances.

Seeing what the Bengals need to get in, none of it seems very far fetched. We can win the next two. Even a resting Chiefs could beat the Broncos. Need the others to lose ONE game? Not all that crazy when you look at it.

I think individually any of it could happen. I think cumulatively is where it's hard to see it all happening.

Proud of our men to at least make this season interesting going into the last week.

Easily one of the more unluckiest seasons I've watched the Bengals play.

[*Awful Llama*]

Down to just four things needed:

1) Colts lose
2) Fish lose
3) We beat Pit
4) KC beats Donkeys

It's still a lot, yes, but it's a smaller list today.

I don't think luck had anything to do with the results. Elite offense. Elitely terrible defense.

When you keep management and coaches around that aren't good, you get a bunch of draft picks that don't get coached up.

And we have two chances on the Colts and Dolphins. I like it like this: 

1) We win in Pitt
2) KC wins in Denver
------------
3) Colts lose at NYG or to Jax
4) Miami loses at Cleveland or at Jets.

With Richardson out and Tua doubtful, there is some hope tomorrow.

If luck is given to chance, the odds are in our favor that the season can turn. But most successful people say they create their own luck in some way.

I'm definitely pulling for the Myles Garrett show. That's our best chance. NYG fielding the worst QB in the league (?).

Did we just guarantee that the entire coaching staff will return next year??

Currently after the Broncos win - probably
If we beat the Stoolers - almost definitely
If we somehow get into the playoffs - absolutely

LMAO the reactions here would be awesome. These fans who canstantly change their opinion deserve it. 

And I hope they pay tee big bucks and never fix the o-line or defense

(not really)

Games are nerve rattling. Cardiac Cats.

If they had me at QB I still think the Colts would win tomorrow, but I think Cleveland wins.  It's their home finale in what's been a shit season.  Nothing but pride on the line, and a chance to play spoiler by squishing the fish.

[*ochocincos*]

Burrow at 4641 yards, 42 passing TDs, 8 INTs with another 202 yards and 2 TDs on the ground.
4843 total yards, 44 TDs in 16 games.

The two QBs I am seeing being talked about the most for MVP are Jackson and Allen.
Lamar Jackson has 4807 total yards, 43 TDs in 16 games.
Josh Allen has 4063 total yards, 37 TDs in 15 games.

Burrow has had to be more of a hero than either of these guys, but Jackson is more worthy of it over Allen.
Even if the Bengals don't end up making the playoffs, Burrow has to be in the conversation.

It sucks the Chiefs could basically choose to throw the next game since they have nothing to play for and may feel much better about Denver getting in instead of Bengals, but if it happens, Bengals have no one to blame but themselves for how poorly they started the season.

I think you are probably right about NY. But the G-men are winless at home. There has been talking of trying to win one for their fans. 

However, going into this weekend, NYG have the toughest SOS of any of the 3 loss (or fewer) teams and finish with the Eagles. So a loss could drop them from 1st to 7th.

Joe Burrow is one of four QBs in NFL history to record 40+ passing TDs with 10 or fewer INTs in a season ?

Joe Burrow - 2024
Aaron Rodgers - 2011*, 2016, 2020*
Peyton Manning: 2004*, 2013*
Tom Brady: 2007*
