That win was HUGE!!!!!!

No game in the NFL is a given and no game should be taken lightly. However, only four games left on the schedule seem like we wouldn't have a heavy advantage: Baltimore in Baltimore, both Steelers games, and the 49ers game in San Fran. I believe we still have a very good chance to make the playoffs and, now with Baltimore and Pittsburg falling to 4-3 and 4-2, we can make a good run at the division.

One game at a time, though, can't take anyone lightly.

Wow, the Bengals managed to pull out a win when they absolutely HAD to have it! It was good to see them beat a team they were supposed to, after the Browns and Chiefs debacles.

Like you said Fritz, the season isn't done yet. I said all along that the Bengals had a good schedule, and now they are almost through the worst part of it. If they can make it through their next three games (Pittsburgh and Baltimore sandwiched around a trap game at Buffalo), the rest of the season looks very friendly. In their last 7 games, they should be favored in at least 4 of them, with only a toughie at Pittsburgh and tossups with Tennessee and at San Fran being major obstacles. I could easily see them winning 8 of their final 10 to finish 10-6 and hopefully make the playoffs. But they have to take care of business and quit farting around against the lesser teams.

Hopefully we will get some relief as guys start to get healthy. There is a chance we get Rudi Johnson, Caleb Miller, and maybe even Chris Perry back this week. Once we get them, Ahmad Brooks, and Chris Henry back in the fold, I believe we'll see a totally different team.
