Wow, we might be able to sneak in there.

Very possible. 

The main problem is the defense, which has been exposed without Bates and Bell. Both of those are having phenomenal years, just not with the Bengals. Normally, when the first QB goes down, the hope is the defense winning games, but this year's version of the defense has been very poor, which I don't attribute to Lou, but rather the front office letting both Bates and Bell go.

 But if the youngsters on defense can continue to grow, then we could win enough to get the Bengals to ten games and into the playoffs.
