This team except for a handful of drives on offense, (Andy to AJ) and a handful of defensive series has in no way shape or form looked like a playoff team. Like you say we've barley beat two of the cellar dwellers and should have lost to another lower level team.

Our numbers on O look good on paper but we ain't scoring. We're awful in the red zone, we can't sustain drives because we can't run the ball. We're horrible on 1st down. Our defense is not on the same page way to often. We get gashed against the run, our D-line can't get pressure on any kind of a regular bais. We continue to run a horrible RT out there. The list goes on and on.

We've been unable to muster anything or stop anything against the better teams we've played. One could go on and on. I've seen basically nothing to indicate we're going to go on a run.

Keep drinking the kool-aid though.

It's not kool-aid, it's being realistic and not overreacting to losing to good teams. We played the Broncos pretty close and same with the pats for almost 3 qtrs. Same with the Steelers, only game we looked horrible in was the cowboys game. That was entirely pathetic. 

If you look back at the last 5 years this is exactly what the bengals do, lose to the good teams and clean up against the mediocre ones, then flop in the playoffs. Nothing that has happened this season suggest this year should be any different. Sure I'll agree at times this team has looked hopeless but they are SLOWLY coming together and have a manageable schedule the rest of the way. This season looks an awful lot like the last 5, people (including me) just had higher hopes for this team so many of us are overreacting and acting like this team is toast. If you take a step back you may just realize this team is just more of the same
