sounds Like something on the front page of “the National enquirer,” right under the headline that Jennifer Anniston is having Elvis’s baby.

I didn't predict the Bengals to beat the Steelers, I did predict us to somehow squeeze into the playoffs at 8-8, but now I don't see it happening. Even if we win out, you got to rely on at least 4 other teams ahead of us to lose a few games. I just don't see it...

What?
The bengals don't control anything at this point. The best they could finish is 9-7.
Ravens are 7-5.... so even if they win the next 3 and lose week 17 they still Finish with a better record.
Jags are almost a lock to make playoffs.... but hold a 3 game lead with tiebreaker over Cincy.
Titans (see jags)
Cheifs, chargers, bills, raiders all hold a one game lead currently.
And the jets and dolphins who are both 5-7 are currently ahead of bengals
9-7 might get you in, but the bengals need to win and you need to be a steelers fan on Sunday to have any shot. Then you need to hope some of chargers, raiders, bills, cheifs lose this week.
I'd put the odds at 1.8%

BEtter chance of Cincy being eliminated this week than, winning the next 4 games.
CIN (5-7) [5, 6, (E)]:
CIN is already eliminated from division title contention.
CIN is eliminated from the playoffs with:
- CIN loss + BAL win + HOU loss/tie + BAL clinches SoV over CIN OR
- CIN loss + BAL win + JAX win/tie + BAL clinches SoV over CIN OR
- CIN loss + BAL win + BAL clinches SoV over CIN + HOU clinches SoV tie with CIN

Better chance of finishing 5-11 than making playoffs
way better chance.

To be fair destiny doesn't exactly end at the end of this season. It continues on despite it..and look, I've always said this team's motto is "Well, there's always next season!"..and to add to it this year,"...and son of Paul isn't going to live forever...we think. However it's yet to be proven wrong."
Perhaps this is the "mission statement"..

If the bengals get to the playoffs and end up winning the super bowl. i will celebrate for a week and immediately retire from football and never look back.
RE: BENGALS CONTROL THEIR OWN DESTINY - Sweetness - 12-08-2017
The best thing this team can realistically do is loseout and get a better draft pick for the new coach to build his team in addition to the pieces we already have

Give me two of what he's having
RE: BENGALS CONTROL THEIR OWN DESTINY - Interceptor - 12-08-2017
This team couldn't control a light switch.
RE: BENGALS CONTROL THEIR OWN DESTINY - Steve - 12-08-2017
i wouldn't be shocked if we now win out.....don't make the playoffs but do end up w/ a worse draft pick....
at this point i'd rather the team play well....but barely lose...
I'll never jump off the band wagon....
