If we can squeeze out a win here or at least keep it close and then take care of the Jets in their place, I think we just steamroll the Browns in The Jungle.

Then we get a week off and then we'll have a tough stretch of games in the last 8.

I never thought they were a super bowl contender even healthy. Playoffs sure but Baker and Beckham are just an issue waiting to happen. Look what they did with a 3rd string QB

Nothing's guaranteed in the NFL but obviously yes this will have us in good stead for the rest of the season. Let us just take it one game at at time.

Playoff birth? Who is having a baby?

This... We're 1 - 0 in the division. Keeping that first number significantly higher than the second will go a long way in getting us to the postseason.

Excellent coach speak.

If Bengals reach 7-2 then I will be pretty certain of them getting into Playoffs and very disappointed if they do not. 

but see us at 6-3 most likely at this juncture, yet am still very excited about that record even

Not as tough now as we thought denver lost 4 in a row, KC might not even been in playoff eligible is they dont get it together, browns have injuries and we would have beaten ravens already and have them at home

Is "them" the Bengals?  You think they will lose their last six games?  

Chargers
49ers
@Broncos
Ratbirds
Chiefs
@Cleveland

The Bengals have lost ONE game at home and it was within inches of being a win.  No way the Chargers, 49ers, Rats, and Chiefs all beat the Bengals at home.  They at least get two wins out of that group.  And I bet they win BOTH the Broncos game and the Browns game, unless the Browns suddenly get healthy at about 10 positions.
