Just happy Bengals got out of this one with a win. Jags defense is respectable. Good to see AJ back on the field. This had all the makings of a trap game - sandwiched between an emotional game against division rival Ravens and a quick turnaround against rival Browns.

 

Bengals certainly did not look great today (and Dalton makes me want to throw stuff at the TV sometimes) but in the NFL a win is a win is win...

What do I need to spin? The bengals won a game today, at the end of the day thats all that matters. As they pointed out before the game the bengals have six starters out and still won. Are they playing great right now? Nope not at all. Just look around the league on good teams who have struggled to beat bad teams or lost to them like Seattle did against the Rams. I have never understood why bengal gans remain so negative even after wins and act like the top teams always win pretty. All that matters is winning. Which in the bengals case winning games while trying to get key players back is huge.

 

So just keep winning and hopefully get some players back and then start playing at a level that can hopefully win playoff games.

Does anyone know when Eifert is supposed to be back???
