We have 3 weeks to wrap our brains around it

Our thoughts (Bengals fans) has nothing to do with whether the Bengals will or won't win a playoff game. No matter how much we want them to win or root for them to win...it will come down to real things like game planning, preparation, execution, tackling, converting 3rd downs, play in the trenches, etc...not vibes from the fan base. 

I'm sure the overwhelming majority are 'excited' about the prospect of finally getting that elusive playoff win, but at the same time, for some...that excitement is a little guarded because of recent playoff disappointments. 

I agree that we have the talent to beat anyone in the postseason, especially if fairly healthy. Now, it's just a matter of them actually going out and proving it. I'll be hoping, wishing and rooting as hard as anyone, but it's up to the coaches and players to go out and make it happen. 

I agree.  Those apes sell that dump stadium out regardless of how bad that team is.  Until this year we were wondering if home games would be blacked out (except when they play Pit. and Cle.) every week.  AJ Green played his rookie season in a half empty stadium.  Negativity runs wild in our  fan base.
