I've said it in another thread, I'll say it here. I can see the rationale for why the Bengals might possibly be 3rd in the division. They should be in the discussion with the Ravens and Steelers for who wins the division, but I can see the argument for how they might not have as many wins.
The thing is, we could have a winning record (which I think we will) and still miss the playoffs. It's highly unlikely 3 teams from the AFCN make the playoffs again this year and possibly only the division winner will (if all 3 teams go 9-7, only the division winner will make the playoffs, IMO).
I firmly expect the Bengals to have a winning record again this year and to fight for a playoff spot. The question is, will we have a the best record in the division? Or no lower than the 6th best record in the conference?
