The Bengals are tied with the Patriots for the 8th spot in the conference. The Chargers hold the final playoff spot at 4-3. We are 4-4. So we are right in the mix of it (good news I mentioned). More good news is we have wins against the Jets and Dolphins who are ahead of us in the standings. We don't play the Chargers, but we do play the Patriots and Titans (who are in the hunt with us). We also aren't too far behind the Ravens. 

This team needs to improve and will need some big wins down the stretch to make the playoffs. With the talent we have I give us a 60% chance to make the playoffs. If we miss the playoffs and Taylor isn't fired fans should probably respond.

This team is very similar to last year's team. We get outcoached more than we would like, and manhandled up front more than we would like. Same as last year. I'm not sure if we will have the magic down the stretch this year. The good news is it's still possible.
