I say you're on to something if the Bengals go in and beat a fiesty Bears team in Chicago next Sunday.
Here's why I think the Bengals can do it: The Bears do not have an offense to keep up with the Bengals. The Bengals are not making offensive mistakes (as the Lions did yesterday; as much as I think Harrington is totally cute, he's playing awfully and this may be the last year you see him in honolulu blue and silver). Kyle Orton's always been a solid QB, but I think it's too much to ask for him to try to keep with Palmer-Johnson-T.J.-Rudi et al. And the Bengals D can be just tenacious enough to keep the Bears out of the endzone and force the Bears into ditching the run. I think this game will remind a lot of people of the early 1988 Bengals, which won by outscoring teams with the pass and forcing the other team out of their game plan. The Bengal D then was just good enough to be able to take advantage of teams having to try to play catch up.
