I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

I think it was Parcells who said real football doesn’t start until after Thanksgiving so they’ve got a chance, but they basically can’t lose anymore games. Or if they do, they’ll need like three other teams to also lose a bunch to back into the playoffs.
Meh, Cincy is going to have to win out to get to 10-7 and even then may still need some help idk.
But, with that Defense (disgusting), O-line, and McPherson missing every other kick not likely to happen at all. Seriously, I'm struggling to even think of a Cincy defense the past few decades that is worse than this one. This might be the worst D Cincy has ever fielded. They're gross especially at the back end.

Brutal loss. Come back 21 points down, set up for the game winning FG twice, and MissPherson as they call him misses both kicks.
I know, right? Can't even go on for a proper meltdown lol. [Reply]

The odds of them 'figuring it out' were always incredibly low because the underlying issues (essentially team harmony and defensive consistency) are what created that record to begin with and would continue to get in the way of reviving it.
Now you just root for them to win 4 more games to mess up their draft status and they can continue to try to convince themselves that this season was just bad luck.

Kickers.
When they get in a funk, its really really hard for them to pull out of it. It makes what Butker did after that season where he was struggling a bit awfully impressive.
Many - if not most - kickers just don't ever get it back on the rails when something like that happens. I mean it's fair to start to wonder if Tucker's ever going to get back to what he was. Age is age and he's not young, but 34 isn't really 'kicker old' either. Morten Anderson was out there drilling everything he hit inside of 50 yards into his mid 40s.
I don't know if this is an age thing - he's just in a funk. [Reply]
