How far away are they?

A tie? I had always heard a tie is like kissing your sister, but my sister is hot so I think it is more like giving your grandmother a bath. Anyway...

The Bengals have consistently found a way not to win. Yesterday's tie with the Eagles was encouraging for a team that is just playing to keep season ticket holders around next season. The Bengals have been in every game late into the game with the exception of the Texans game.

They are not that far off. Maybe the 8 inches between their ears is the difference between them and the Titans or the Giants. The Bengals are hanging in their without their best offensive player (Palmer) and without their best defensive player (Rivers). They have played a tough schedule. Their opponents have an average of 6 wins a piece. The Titans' opponents, for instance, have an average of 4 wins each. I believe they aren't that far off. They can get this turned around, but it will take a change in attitude.

Dude

You can’t be serious that you think this team is close. Close to what? The worse team in all of pro sports? They’ve been there before and are very close to visiting that camp again. These guys are pathetic.
