You do realize that this poll is a little confusing.
You are asking will or won't we win a playoff game.... without having Dalton.
If I answer No, that doesn't mean I don't think we won't win a playoff game. It just means I think Dalton will be back in time, which if 1 of these 2 scenarios, Dalton may get an extra week (even though reports are that he might not need it):
1. We beat Denver and not only clinch the Division but the so important bye.
2. We lose to Denver and beat Baltimore and San Diego beats Denver (don't count them out of winning), and again clinching both the Division and bye.
Now to me the most interesting thing, which I will make a bold prediction right now is this.
Bengals win on Monday and beat the Ravens. The Patriots (yes, I am looking at them), they have 2 road games against the Jets (who played them tough earlier in the year and the Jets look improved while the Pats are hobbling) and the Dolphins. The Dolphins are a Jekyll and Hyde team, however, this is their "Super Bowl", nothing will please them more than beating the Patriots. The interim HC will throw out everything he can to get this win on his resume. They have the talent and it is in Miami, NE may (though not likely) ease up and look ahead, only to get caught by the Dolphins.
So BOLD prediction - Cincinnati gets the #1 seed.

Too soon to tell. I have no idea when we'll play, who we'll play, or who will be healthy for said game.

one week at a time beat the broncos and we might not have to worry about the whole without dalton thing.
12-23-2015, 04:16 PM
I said yes, but I thought that a couple of times in the last few years.

Yeah, plus i have not seen enough of McCarron to truly judge.
From what i saw in the Niners game he did well by not throwing picks but he also held onto the ball too long and
caused the sacks. He needs to improve on some things before i have near the confidence i had in this team when
Dalton was the starter.

positive vibes with the YES vote!

I didn't see the part about not having Dalton. I answered yes because I believe Dalton will be back. With McCarron, I'm not sure.

Hes not gonna pick up 4 years experience in the next 2 games either.

Without Dalton?
Definitely not.
Definitely not.

Regardless of who is QB, the Bengals will get their first postseason victory this year, mmw.

The lack of faith in this organization is disturbing. The force is strong in this team. Young jedi A.J. will lead us to victory, and Trademark will be praising Jesus again.

No, we will not win a playoff game this year without Andy Dalton...we'll be winning it WITH him.

You should be asking if people will still cheer if its AJ that breaks the losing streak instead of Dalton.
12-23-2015, 10:27 PM
I'd put my money on no.
Unless we beat Denver on Monday.

There is no chance we beat Denver on Monday. We will not score more than 13 points, and that won't be near enough.

I have never really believed Dalton will play another snap this year... And I voted "yes."
