Hey, lets enjoy the moment Bengal fans. Even if we lose tomorrow, which I doubt, we still host a playoff game.
This is a talented football team that is head and shoulders above everyone in the AFC. We face a Broncos team with an inexperienced quarterback with a sore shoulder.
As long as AJ avoids throwing the costly interceptions we should be fine. Who dey! Lets be positive and enjoy the moment.

If we are tied with the Pats we would be tied on conference record, so it goes to Common Opponents.
Pittsburgh: NE Win, Cin Win & Loss Denver: NE Loss, Cin Win Houston: NE Win, Cin Loss Buffalo: NE Win & Win, Cin Win
Means NE are 4-1 and we are 3-2 against common opponents. Therefore NE wins the tiebreaker.

That QB for Denver has a very unimpressive record of 3-2 over past 5 games.
Denver looks very beatable right now, even w/ us starting AJMac.

Correct. Record vs. common opponents is the tie-breaker in this case. NE has the tie-breaker over Bengals. 4-1 vs. 3-2 for the Bengals if they win vs. Denver.
To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
That's three AFC North Championships in the past 7 years. I don't think any team in our division (the toughest division in all the NFL) has beat that over the past 7 years.
I know, I know....it means nothing without the playoff wins and a run at the Lombardi, but I am proud of this team for always being in it and I am sooooo excited about tomorrows game.
