Even if they miss the playoffs, I don’t think they will, you can still respect and enjoy the play of Chase and Burrow. It’s frustrating, sure…
Imagine breaking the NFL record for receiving yards, playing for a 4-12 team.
If the bengals lose to chargers, I’ll eat crow. But I anticipate/expect a 5-2 finish, or better, and headed somewhere to upset the 2 seed.
Chargers have 6 wins and still have games against NE, LV, and DEN.
They've already beaten LV and DEN once, and the DEN game is home, so I think they got 3 more wins in them, for sure.
That would put them likely at 9 wins at least.
TB they'll also probably be favored, as they are favored against the Bengals.
PIT/BAL will win 1 of the WC spots given they already have 7 wins with 7-8 games left to play.
Chargers are in the driver's seat for another spot, especially if they beat DEN and CIN.
DEN is currently holding the final WC spot at 5-5.
They have what should be games in their favor against LV, CLE, and IND.
If they win those, that's 8+ wins.
ATL and LAC will be the big games for them aside from the CIN game.
Bengals will HAVE to beat DEN to have the tiebreaker over them, but this last WC spot is likely the only hope for the Bengals.
My prediction for CIN:
@LAC - loss because playing in LA (4-7)
PIT - loss (4-8)
@DAL - win (5-8)
@TEN - win (6-8)
CLE - win (7-8)
DEN - win (8-8)
@PIT - loss (8-9)
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
