The only problem is if there are more than two teams tied. Then the head to head goes away.

Not if you have beaten all 3 of the teams tied (New England, Jets, Dolphins).

Strength of victory matters as well out of our remaining games every 1 will be tougher than this 1. The Buccs game is only 1 we could afford to lose. I have a feeling Ravens lose 1 to Steelers and us out of their remaining schedule so we have to win out and if Chiefs slip up once besides us it could be good enough for the 1 seed otherwise we are a 5,6 or 7 seed at best. If we have Burrow and Chase in the playoffs anything is possible regardless of seed.

I literally do not care what seed we are.... Burrow proved last year we can go on the road twice and go to the SB.
Just get us in the playoffs!

Torn. I absolutely hate the fact that the 7 seeds exist... but I am glad the Bengals are currently positioned to be in the playoffs.

It’s all in our hands. We have the opportunity to completely rearrange the playoff picture as we play or played everyone in it, or we see ourselves out.

Same, bring'em on once we get in, I like our chances more than anyone.

We will be playing Playoff football for the rest of the year. We should be ready come Playoff time to roll against anybody.

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.
Yes, the Ravens even with that so called easy schedule look vulnerable as you say. The Falcons match up well with them
in my eyes. The Falcons have a bad secondary but they can play with a running QB like Lamar.

As long as the Bengals can get into the playoffs, Chase is back, and the rest of the key guys stay healthy, they really do have a chance to beat anyone. We'd probably see teams respecting the big play more though this time around, so maybe less splash plays would happen.
If Bengals make the wildcard, I'm 100% hoping it's in Nashville or Miami.
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.

Rather it be Nashville..... with out Awuzie Miami could be cooking us. I could argue that Thursday night game may of went the other way if Tua didn't get hurt.
Bengals play with anyone though our offense is that good. Get us in!

In a previous thread before we played Carolina, I said we would lose only one game down the stretch and that is to the Browns[we don't match up].
So far I am 2 - 0.
Titans, Chiefs and Ravens will all be looking for revenge, but I think we can handle them.

Agreed on Miami. Tua really has turned it around with the new HC and Hill there.
There were talks of him being a bust after his first two seasons.
Now the dude is looking like a bona fide top-end QB with a great completion percentage and a good TD-INT ratio (6:1).
He actually leads the league in QB Rating.
I just meant Miami because of the warmer weather and not having to worry about snow.
Nashville would be my 1st choice, mainly due to the fact I live here lol, but also I think they might have the worst passing offense of all the playoff teams.

The crazy thing is, as is, we'd get Miami and Balt would get Buffalo. I'd take that

Are you sure?
Miami is undefeated when Tuna starts and finishes a game and that game would be in Miami.

Did you watch Tua against the Bengals? Teddy looked better vs our defense than he did.
I can’t speak for bfine, but I’m personally 100% sure I’d rather play Tua and the Dolphins (even in Miami), than Allen and the Bills.

Tua was already concussed from the Miami-Buffalo game.

Same, we know we can beat the Phins. We still have to prove we can beat the Bills.
