Lets Not Get BiPolar After Tonight

[*ochocincos*]

I mean a win doesn't mean the Bengals are playoff bound. No one should have that expectation.
But a loss would put the team 0-2.
NFL Network just shared a stat (because one team tonight will be 0-2 after) that only 12% of teams who started 0-2 have made the playoffs.

So if your expectation going into the season was that the Bengals would make the playoffs, that likelihood would be greatly reduced if they lose tonight, and thus put the team below your expectations.
