100% gonna make the playoffs
100% gonna lose in the first round

Book it?

I get it, speculation and off-season and all that, but we're just assuming the Bengals are going to make the playoffs when the NFL is designed to shake things up on a yearly basis unless you have a HOF QB and a HC who knows his head from a hole in the ground.

Anywho, I'm not counting us in the playoffs any more than I'm saying they are going to win or lose, but I do find it amusing that the world of sports fans and analysts have found a way to turn the Bengals being a lock for the playoffs into a perennial insult.

The more this team has been built over the last 3-4 years, the better chance they have making the playoff--even with a major injury. 

Now, i did say "better" chance, so yes, a lot of people are going to consider the playoffs a foregone conclusion. I know that until/if they are knocked out of contention, i'm going to assume they're going to be there and there's really nothing in the last 4 years that anyone can point to and say that's irrational.
