neidhost Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I am so tired of the media and fans acting like the season is over with respect to playoff potential. Come on guys, we're in this! To me, the Bengals getting to the playoffs is this simple:1: We run the table on our divisional games With two of our three hardest remaining divisional games to be played at home, and late in the season, this really shouldn't be that hard. As long as we can avoid a monumental choke in Cleveland, I think this is very probable.2: Watch as the Ravens lose to the Steelers in Pittsburg Its gonna happen. The Ravens have to make the trip to Pittsburg (Week 15 or something) and play against a Steelers team with something to prove in front of their home crowd. And by the time this game rolls around, look for the Steelers to be rolling too.The result: Bengals win the division and make the playoffs... from there we all know it's anybody's game and all about who wants it more...

HoosierCat Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 We need more than just the 3 division games, tho I grant you those are all must-wins. IMHO Bengals need to go at least 6-2 over the final 8 for a shot at the postseason. They need the 3 division games, the SD and Denver games, and at least 1 more out of Oakland, Indy and NO.

Tasher Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 San Diego is a must win for tie breaking for the wild card at the very minimum. Look at last year, KC and SD do not make the playoffs with 10 wins apiece. If it comes down to KC, SD and us, if we beat them both head to head, we get the slot, so lets start there, with the very basics. Win one at a time. Besides, if we don't win, then things start to look pretty bleak and we have to start looking for help all over the place.One win at a time and the WC and the Division will take care of themselves. We will work our way back into the WC and then the Division. But it must be one win at a time. Have faith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be okay!!!!!But we HAVE TO,( I repeat) HAVE TO beat SAN DIEGO!!!!! I dont care how we win, as long as we win!!!!!!!!!!I think I would prefer for us to get our asses kicked the whole game, only to have the game given to us by a terrible roughing the passer call. I think that would be the turning point in our season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( IF we win Sunday)If we do beat SD, I think we can possibly get three in a row heading into our rematch with the Ravens. It would be huge!!!!!!!!!We beat SD, we start to roll!!!!!!! Then we go to NO and we take care of business. We will be okay!!!!!But we HAVE TO,( I repeat) HAVE TO beat SAN DIEGO!!!!!

I think that would be the turning point in our season.That would be great!!..... the only thing better is if Steve Foley was out there to commit the penalty!!

Gotta beat the Chargers, otherwise it's over. Don't forget about the Jets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
