100% accurate. They will beat the Titans and then lose the last 3... 


But those two wins will be enough to keep entire coaching staff in Mike Brown's eyes.

Cool, I could actually see it happening if the Defense is just not as terrible as they have been. Burrow, Chase and Chase Brown playing like 
this makes anything possible. I don't see our Defense playing that bad against the stealers again, that was embarrassing and the stealers ran
a checkdown Offense which simply isn't hard to defend against. The Stains will be tough as always but our Offense with Burrow should score 
more than them. The Titans suck, the Broncos is by far the toughest game for us IMO.

9-8 might the the 7 seed, but there are a handful of teams that will have tie breakers if multiple teams winnd up at 9-7. The only team the bengals could have a tie breaker over is the broncos, assuming the bengals win.

So not only can they not finish better than us, they can't finish the same as us as we're probably not winning that tiebreaker.

Meanwhile the Colts have the 30th remaining strength of schedule and the Dolphins have the 27th... and the Broncos play the Chiefs in week 18, who quite possibly with be sitting their starters.

I made this thread as a joke last week so we wouldn't have to do all this nonsense.

Once again, nonsense prevails over rational thought..

Can't wait to see this place after we beat the Titans.

Lol, he did have the highest pass blocking grade on the team last night. However, by and large he has not turned out to be the guy that I'd hoped he would. I'll still pull for him as long as he wears a Bengals uni and wish him well if the team sends him packing.

Some will likely experience great grief and trauma, similar to losing a loved one. Others will simply brush it off as yet another failed attempt by the front office of fielding a championship team.

That sounds more like how KC fans will react to their team's first playoff loss.  Can't wait to see that

Oh, I figure we're probably not winning out but I won't let that squash my enthusiasm for the team.

 Did anyone expect the Giants to go to the Superbowl, let alone beat the undefeated Patriots? 

Oh what a story it'd be, coming back from the dead to win in New Orleans with Chase and Burrow back where they won the national championship. 

If that were to happen, Frank, would you celebrate or complain the NFL was rigged because there's no reasonable way we could pull it off without ref help?

if they somehow get to 8-8, then maybe I'll raise an eyebrow. This is a bad football team though

and im not talking about playoffs. You kidding, me? playoffs?

Yeah, it's nice to know that there are always motivations and storylines to follow, even after the Bengals have bowed out on the season.

They are bad in a lot of areas. The most Bengal thing would be for all the chips to fall our way and then we lose the final game to Pittsburgh whose playing their backups.

now THAT is sad

[samhain]

The Dallas game wasn't much different than their close losses. The just would up on the right side of luck last night. It's an illusion.

bingo. It was going to be like every other close loss they've had this year. They just got super fortunate dallas has boneheads that touch blocked punts

[Destro]

As I have said before, I just don't want anyone getting hurt. Wins and stats mean nothing to me, at this point, versus someone limping into 2025 or something. Walking off the field health after the final game is Christmas present.

we desperately need colts to win this week and lose next week. This happens and we win out good chance we make it and have to travel to Buffalo for wild card weekend
