PLAYOFFS...!!??!!!!!!!
PLAYOFFS...!!!!!??!!!

Bengals started 0-3, then made it to 2-3 getting everybody's hopes up. 

Bengals went to 2-4 but made it to 3-4 getting everybody's hopes up. 

Bengals went to 3-6 but now at 4-6.  People assuming a win over Browns and to 5-6 getting everybody's hopes up. 

Anybody starting to see a pattern to the 2017 Bengals. ....A team that has never been at or above .500 and yet the third time fans talking play-offs and even play-off wins.

Sure, what the heck, I would take 6 play-offs in last 7 years and 7 out of last 8.  Looks like an automatic one and done, but I would take backing into play-offs.  I would hold off on sending in for play-off tickets at 4-6 on the season.  

Now IF they beat Steelers and get to 6-6, then they can beat anybody.  Something has happened. Maybe they put a different team in our uniforms.  Maybe they spiked their Gatoraid with performance enhancing chemicals. If they beat the Steelers and get to 6-6, then celebrate that win and start drinking the Kool Aid.  

If they lose to Steelers after a win over Browns they are at 5-7 on the season, and no reason to be pounding down the Kool Aid.   A 5-7 team is going to find Lions and Vikings and Bears, Oh My, hard enough and Ravens hard enough.  Now if they beat Steelers this team must have ate it's Wheaties and Popeye Spinach and turned into Superman and then anything is possible.
