The defeats are getting to John Harbaugh. The Ravens head coach -- struggling to cope with a potential 0-3 start -- went out of his way to compliment the Bengals in the most asinine way imaginable.
"I'll tell you, I do believe it is the most talented team in the league," Harbaugh said, per ESPN.

Not the Packers. Not the Steelers. Not the Seahaws.
The Bengals.

"We have great respect for them, for their coaches [and] the way they play. Obviously, it starts with A.J. Green, but the whole cast of characters there on offense is very talented and gifted -- tight ends, running backs, quarterback."
Yes, the quarterback. One Andy Dalton, the epitome of mediocrity.
Admittedly, the Bengals and their talent have reached the playoffs in each of the last four seasons; however, not a single one culminated in a playoff victory.
Dalton -- who somehow managed to sign a 6-year, $115 million contract -- completed a pedestrian 55.7 percent of his passes. Even worse, in four playoff defeats, the 26-year-old has six interceptions and one TD.
One. TD.
If that's not talent, I don't know what is.
