I've always said it would be helpful if the vaunted defense that seems to be the reason we make the playoffs every year would be able to generate turnovers, which are critical in playoff games.  Especially given how bad we have been in turning the ball over ourselves.  Also, why have we been so reliant on the passing game if they don't trust Dalton?  Is it because they've trusted the running game even less?  

The opponents in the playoffs are all good teams. No ******* allowed.

To me, the Bengals are a bubble playoff team, barely good enough to get in (as indicated by them never getting a bye) but not good enough to do much of anything once they arrive.

Last year we saw them lose badly to NE, Indy and Pittsburgh in the regular season, while taking care of the Ravens and Denver. That was the AFC playoff crowd. Only the win over Denver was convincing. They had to come from behind in both Ravens games. The Bengals just plain weren't even in the NE and Indy games or the second Pittsburgh game.

Almost everyone and his 5th from cousin from Mars has come to realize that Lewis' in-game adjustments are completely inadequate, if they even exist at all.
