Cincy has a very tough (on paper) schedule left this season.

Their next 3 games are:

vs Seahawks (I'm going to the game Sunday)

@ Buffalo

@ Pitt


They've already swept 3 AFCW teams, but still have to face the Broncos late in the season.


As long as their key guys stay healthy, their offense is a legitimate force to deal with.


Coaching is still a real issue with them IMO. Marvin Lewis continues to make very bone-headed decisions at least once every game. He's been very questionable in every playoff game, and continues to do so.


Lewis has been a master at drafting (almost their whole team was drafted by them,,, sans Reggie Nelson and Adam Jones).

But his coaching gaffes, and inevitable Dalton gaffe once or twice a game most likely will take them out in the playoffs again.


** Last year's playoff game almost their whole freaking team was out for injury (Green, Marvin Jones, Eifert, Andre Smith, Gresham I believe went out, Mauluga and Burfict both starting LB).

They almost had no chance at that one. Brandon Tate and Burkhead were their top passing threats. It was ugly.
