With the losses to the Chargers and now 49ers, the Bengals have fallen to 9th in the AFC and 3rd in the division.
https://www.nfl.com/standings/playoff-picture
They have 4 games remaining, all against teams pushing for the playoffs.
Next week's game at the Broncos and then home vs the Ravens are going to be huge.
Bengals likely are not beating the Chiefs.
Browns game is only important based on how the other games go before it.
Do you think they end up making the playoffs?
If so, do you think they do it as division winners or a wildcard?
If no, do you think they get at least a winning record or not?
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. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Yes. But the AFC North is far from the "best" conference that many consider it to be. We get in by winning the division.

Burrow should play out his rookie contract and get away from this loser franchise. Because this organization is losers. Old man Brown has a 80% chance of losing a coin toss that how much a loser he is

I agree.
I think NE wins the East and takes 1st
KC turns in on wins the West and takes 2nd
Tenn outlasts Indy, wins the South and Takes 3rd
We win the North and take 4th

They need 3 wins in the last 4 weeks. If they stop shooting themselves in the foot they can do it.

The Bengals are the best team in their division, although the division seems more mediocre than it did a few weeks ago.
They’ll get in via the division crown.

I see two definite losses (KC and Cleveland), and two probable losses. They won just enough to keep the staff around, but not do any actual damage... Awesome.

Bears, Jets, and today's game are the reason we aren't going to make the playoffs.
I accidentally voted but not with a winning record but think it's not with a losing record. I think we're going to finish 1-5 to close out the season.
I think we lose to KC, Browns, and Denver.

Four games to go in the season and we still control our own destiny.
Raise your hand if you would have taken that to start the season.

I had to go with no playoffs and a losing record. We've seen how they play other teams that are also trying to make a late push for the playoffs. Fire Zac Taylor.

Those 3 wins are likely against DEN, BAL, and CLE, if it happens.
My realistic self thinks they get 2 wins between those 3 teams and finish 9-7, missing the playoffs.
I can also see them just winning 1 more (or none).

They will not win another game. I said that with 6 games left, and I’m not changing my mind. Not good enough, make to many mistakes, poor coaching.

Really? Because the Browns clowned us the first time and if you check the standings, they're ahead.
ALso check our schedule, we're gonna get rocked if the 49ers beat us. And they did.

Absolutely would have.
This is the first time since I believe 2015 that the Bengals have had a winning record in Dec.
While they've been frustrating, at least they're worth tuning into live to see if they win or lose.
Every other season for the past five seasons, they haven't been worth watching in Dec.

After the Raiders and Steelers game wins, where the team was 1/2 game out of the conference lead, you said that they’d lose their last 6 games?
That’s badass.

Your right I even told myself I just wanted to be in the playoff picture late in the year. But its still a disappointment at this point and I know this team needs to move on from Zac and I'm not sure how long it's gonna take them to figure it out.

And we clowned the Ravens, but let me guess: You think the Ravens will beat us in the rematch.
