Level of competition IS a big deal you know.

Especially him. I don’t bother arguing with him.

Holy crap, the Playoff Machine even has plausible scenarios of us getting the 6 seed at 8-8, as well as teams getting the 6 seed at 7-9.

As much as I would love to go the playoffs.. with this team ... i get cringy...  i mean previous playoff games we HAD a team that could win but stunk... this one might be one of those traditional wildcard blow out games.

You made my eyes bleed. I’m sure most of the Patriots are getting ring sizes right now

Cleveland will beat somebody this season. Hopefully they’ll steal one from Baltimore and Pittsburgh.

All it takes is getting in!

I think we can only lose one more...Pittsburgh, my guess. Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore all seem ‘winable’

In a two way tie at that...

We’re due against the Steelers. Stop LeVeon Bell and contain Pig Pen and it can be done.

I'd love to see it with either one.

Don't worry we'll be going down like the Titanic next week.

I don’t think so, ‘74. Something happened at that Denver game; I saw something switch “on.”

Not worried. Already on the phone with the bookie making bets!

I would just like to clarify that any of my statements that are perceived as negative are only because the Bengals have had the Browns number for a few years now, so the win can't really be considered 'great' and it doesn't show how the Bengals are rounding into playoff form. 

The real test to see if they've turned any corner and if they're really a threat to make a run for the playoffs will be next week, at home, against the Steelers who always play well against the Bengals and on MNF. I won't bother posting Marv's stats in prime time and against the Steelers. I'll just reserve judgement on how 'well' they're playing until next Monday night around midnight. 

Based on numerous past examples, i expect the Steelers to slap them around and slap the fans back into reality. 

The absolute worst thing that could happen to the Bengals is that Pitt looks bad and loses tonight.

They still have the Patriots twice and they end @NE and @Miami.
