I am pretty sure most every prior Bengal playoff team felt they had a real chance. Even though they were underdogs in most of those playoff games they had all won big games to make it to the postseason (except maybe 2011).
Looking back at the '09 team it is pretty clear they were nothing but smoke and mirrors for the entire second half of the season, but that was such an emotional and exciting season that most of us fans did not notice.
