The real test for getting back to the playoffs and showing people that this team really is a contender again begins with the Titans this coming Sunday.
The Bengals' upcoming schedule has all but one team with a winning record and also currently slotted in the playoffs.
The Browns are the only team that isn't, and they have had the Bengals' number the past few years.
Can the Bengals get enough wins between @TEN, KC, CLE, @TB, @NE, BUF, and BAL to get into the playoffs?
Will getting to the playoffs with this extremely tough remaining schedule be enough to convince people the Bengals can legitimately contend again? Or are there certain teams they need to beat to prove that?
The playoff push begins now.
But let's also be honest that it's also a huge rival and division game and, also, it's really hard to win in the NFL week to week.NY Giants thought they had an easy one yesterday. Atl .blew the doors off of the 49rs on the road a few weeks ago, Carolina blows TB out a few weeks ago. Jacksonville blows the LA Chargers out. Philly has to come from behind against a cluster Indy. team with a has been QB.Point is that the worst teams can play like ball-busters any week.
Gotta win those so-called easy games to have the luxury of not having to win all the tough ones BUT I like the fact that 4 of their last 6 games are at home no matter who they play.
