Bengals D playing rope-a-dope. Let the Browns chew up a bunch of clock marching down the field, then hold them on fourth and goal.

just 3 short of 30 combined
The bye finally comes for a banged-up team. They will need it before heading west to San Diego. If I'm Marvin, I pull an Eddie Money and buy Dalton and his wife two tickets to paradise for the week off so he can get his mind off football for a while.
Offense was still an issue today. Several passes sailed on Dalton, receivers running bad routes/drops/not getting open, tons of missed blocks, some penalties, and a pick six. Terrible play from them, and we still won by 21. Goes to show how good this team is.
Our offense will get much better. I think it all starts up front for us, and the bye week is coming at a perfect time so those guys can get some rest to heal. I expect us to finish the year strong.
I love watching these mud games like Chicago vs. Baltimore right now. Don't see it too much anymore with all the turf fields, but this feels like real football.

I don't see how someone doesn't hire Zimmer as HC this off-season. My guess is he winds up in miami. They're going to want a strong character guy.

Where would this team be without Burfict? He's the team MVP, not counting coaches (Zimmer). He's the best Bengal LB I've seen. What a find!

Arise and walk, come through. A world beyond that door is calling out for you. Arise and walk, come through. It's calling out for you.
That should be the division. Three home games left, and both road games are theoretically winnable, should only need to win 3 of 5.
