About other teams, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are hitting the wall at the same time. The Bills are in trouble if Josh Allen is hurt, and Patrick Mahomes is beatable. So, literally anything could happen.
I am almost feeling the same, I still think the Bills are the team to beat for us but if our OL blocks like we did against the
Panthers the rest of the year the entire NFL is in trouble. This team is fun to watch and as long as the players are executing
the game plan and the play design is good we should make it to the Playoffs again and like you said WGBenGal anything
could happen.
I like our chances as long as we just start to take care of bidness and treat every game like it is the Playoffs from here on
out and we don't get decimated by injuries. This is a special team with greatness if everything comes together.

We're in a spot where we have tie breakers against two WC contending teams but that may not matter. Both Jets and Dolphins have a realtivetly lighter schedule than the Bengals to end the year.

Yep the Bengals will have to rise to the occasion and still believe they will somehow.
Yet the margin for error is miniscule.

If the Bengals beat the Steelers next week and the Jets win @NE, coupled with a Chargers loss to the Chiefs, the Bengals will leapfrog NE and LAC for the 7th playoff spot and they will only be 1 game behind the Jets.
If NE ends up winning that game, that will make them, the Jets and Bengals all 6-4 and the waters will be super muddy.

I always think of Muddy Waters as the name white people who want to sound hip throw out there. He usually leads the list when they ask musicians who influenced them and they run out a bunch of cool nicknames. Flapjack Anderson and Bentback Bobby Lee.

When you're as talented as McKinley Morganfield and want to be called Muddy Waters then who am I to say differently.
But Howlin Wolf, Blind Lemon, T-Bone Walker, the Queen of Soul, or The Godfather of Soul, didn't want any of that
Bunch of sellouts lol, but I love their music so Jimmy Cracked Corn and I don't care what they want to call themselves.
Yet Muddy Waters is the coolest of those names

It's wild that all of the AFC East is in the playoffs right now.

Nice win beating those Cowgirls BTW. That was a fun game, hope Rodgers and Watson can keep that up.
If they can you guys still have a shot.

I think Rodgers saw that little stat scrolling above the score at the bottom of the TV that says that the Packers have never made the playoffs after starting 3-6 or worse and he took that personally.

Definitely feels better being on the inside, but it's still a hard road ahead. If we can keep it rolling against the Titans, things start to feel a bit more comfortable. The other good news for the weekend is that the Ravens looked vulnerable against the Panthers. I could see that team dropping a game or two down the stretch even with their easy schedule. Falcons, Steelers x 2, and Browns are not gimmees.

Having tiebreakers on the Jets and Dolphins could pay off
