Spor_tees Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 On the off chance that the Bengals advance through the playoffs and eventually face the other wild card team in the Championship game (that would be the Steelers), Mendenhall is done for the year. Torn ACL.If the Bengals do face the Ravens or the Steelers again in the playoffs, the Bengals have a distinct advantage. The odds of a team beating another team 3 times in the same season are extremely low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torn ACL.I've always said, it's not which knee ligament gets torn, it's when it gets torn. This one was about 6 weeks too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Without some run blocking, we'll be lucky to get past Houston.Yeah... there's no guarantee there.Then, if they do... it's on to New England. No matter how bad New England's defense is, I'm a bit terrified of what Gronkowski and Hernandez would do to the Bengals defense. If, on the off chance the Bengals manage to win that game, I'd much rather the Bengals play the Ravens than the Steelers. The Bengals just don't match-up with the Steelers as well as they do with Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
