Will the Bengals go 4-4 to finish the season just miss the playoffs take second in the Divison and a late teens draft pick worst case scenario. If they go 5-3 (4-3 now) they could sneak into the playoffs as a late seed. Best case would be a 7-1 or 6-2 with a shot at the first seed.
I really feel they need to make a run to the SB this year. The team is stacked and with depth. One major season-ending injury is all so far, and its a big one, but at a position that was a focus of high draft picks. Next year we could see a much better Cleveland team in our division, a Ravens team that might actually draft a good WR to pair with Jackson, an improved Steelers team, and the Bengals soon will have to start paying its premier players. I sure don't want to be looking at draft picks and next year.
I really feel the pressure, as a fan, that they make a run these last seven games. The schedule is brutal. This will be intense.
