walzav29 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 If there is some whacky scenario like in 2009 where the Bengals have the option of knocking out the Ravens or playing them in the wild card game in the 1st round. How do you think they'll handle it? I hated those 2 weeks, and it seemed to have changed the Bengals attitude for the following week vs the Jets. I can't believe how long it's been since the last time we won a playoff game. It's gotta happen this year. That's been the negative of this season. Winning a playoff game is the difference between a feeling of going in the right direction or anarchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 How do you think they'll handle it? Just beat the team on the other sideline. Do that and everything else takes care of itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walzav29 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Remember vs the Jet's though? They didn't go all out to win and lost back to back weeks. I'm wondering if Marv will play it different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if Marv will play it different.Well, I don't think resting guys in week 17 back in '09 was why they lost the WC game. By the time they got to the playoffs the 2009 Bengals were a spent force. Half the team was on IR and the other half was playing hurt. And our passing game that year makes Dalton this year look like Johnny Unitas.I can't see this squad laying down for the Ravens even if the game doesn't have any playoff implications. And I think it's very likely that it will.Just win, baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Play to win. I have come to absolutely hate any cuter strategy than that in the final week(s) going into a playoff berth. Marvin has a history of disagreeing with me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I would say this is a different team as well and I don't see them handling things in the same manner.Right now, I just want them to kick the crap out of the Colts.

gregcook68 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 The Colts are a formidable opponent.After the season this team has had, I don't think 'looking ahead' or taking a team for granted is on their itinerary!This team is two OT games away from being 10-2.Plus, Kirkpatrick and Malaluga took the Bengals out of an opportunity to beat the Bears, so the only really true beaten down loss this team has had was the first Browns game!

kingwilly Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'll call for a Bengals win.Bengals 24Colts 13two FG's all for Colts until a late TD. I don't see the Bengals offense blowing up, more focusing on the run and hitting safe throws to RB's and TEs with a couple of deep strikes to back the DBs off.

ShulaSteakhouse Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 They need to win their remaining home games, at least, and that's all that matters right now. If they don't, then maybe this scenario comes about again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
