We will still win the north and hopefully Andy be healthy for playoffs.

He should be good by then. Being that you are all but essentially a top 3 seed you need health as much as anything.

I don't know what he was thinking on that entire crazy play. Tuitt read it great but he tossed it right to him and then dives at his monstrous legs to tackle him. Multiple terrible decisions in 2 seconds.

Was a nice play by Tuitt. Andy was just giving effort and ended up hurt. Hope to get healthy after being pretty healthy all year.

A lot of speculation that ship has sailed.

Against my better judgement I went back and forth on FB about this last week. I asked Bengals fans (not smart ones) about how long they wanted their main players in the game vs the Browns and the majority of them wanted them in the entire game, regardless of score because they wanted to prove a point to everyone?...and keep their good play and positive chemistry going. I stuck with the once the game is in hand (no doubt on who will win) ex up 28 late in 3rd or 21 about 10 min left in the 4th.....kept saying the risk wasn't worth the reward because you have to be healthy to win in the playoffs and beating Cleveland by 50 in the regular season isn't proving your team is legit as much as any playoff win by any margin. They just kept yammering about not being respected and I told them 16-0 won't change the minds of those they were worried about.

Dalton was hurt in a freak play and in the moment......could easily happen in mop up time. Shazier did that in week 2 and was out or sucked the next 6 weeks.

I'm still not sure the Dalton injury took place on the tackle. He looked like he was favoring after the late hit on the screen pass. I liked the hustle and guts it took to make the tackle. Bad things just seem to happen to the Bengals.

Cinci is fucked. How it sounds, the thumb looked barley attached.

Another needed win. Right now, can't really afford to lose much of anything as long as the Chiefs and Jets are playing well.

Andy is done. Anyone who has ever had a thumb injury knows this. Even if the player Andy Dalton is out there, he won't be anywhere near what he could be.

It's A.J. McCarron's team going forward. Here's to hoping everyone else can get healthy by then. The defense and offensive weapons are good enough to hang in there.

Saw that they reached out to some backups today. Ryan Mallet was one of them.

I too would love to see a Pitts/Cincy matchup in the playoffs.

Ryan fucking Mallett. I mean, why would you bring THAT into what is a pretty solid, united locker room?

Ryan Mallett? I say we bring in a QB with playoff experience that has won a playoff game.

Tim MF-ing Tebow.

So Dalton won't need surgery and will remain week to week. Best case scenario he's back for the playoffs where he's never been any good. Oh the irony.

I have a hard time believing his hand will be ready in 4 weeks.

Not sure, after a quick search I can't find it. I just saw it the same as S&L. The top image for this thread.

I don't think that picture is real. We'd know if it was.
