Are we making the playoffs this year?

[bengals67]

Unless the play of O and D line improves dramatically, we are not making playoffs - but if we do we will lose first game once again.

The reason why we cannot beat the top teams is in the trenches.

Dalton would have sliced and diced our D  if he had been the Denver QB yesterday.

If The Denver QB had played for the bengals, at best we score only 7 points.

WE are getting no push up the middle this year. Dunlop has one sack I think. O line is porous particularly up the middle.

If I had to bet- and this kills me - I see us finishing out of the playoffs with a record between 9-7 and 7-9.

If we lose to Miami on Thursday the season is over.  Could be 1-6 through Pats game.

I hate to be this pessimistic and it is not my nature.
