Wraith Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 11-5 Division Champs, lose in the first round of the playoffs. Quote
Spain Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Posted September 5, 2005 If we get the division we will win that one at home, the jungle would explode. Quote

John Stofa Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 I wasn't thrilled with our preseason performance, but that doesn't change my regular season prediction. I said 9-7 before the preseason games and I'm sticking with that.9-7 overall, 3-3 division ... which would put us in the playoffs in the NFC, but in the AFC ... who knows.And Week #1 @ Cleveland is a MUST win game.

jbx182 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 9 or 10, but still miss the playoffs due to a tie-breaker (better win @ jax!) Quote
Spain Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Posted September 6, 2005 Ive never seen a better divison than the AFC now, even when the nfc had its run it wasnt this good! I wish we where in the NFC! Quote
Section 310 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 Defense stinks. 9-7 no playoffs...but building and moving in the right direction. Quote
MacD BengalFan Posted September 6, 2005 Report Posted September 6, 2005 we start at 5-5 but we get hot down the stretch win our last 6 gameswin our first playoff game then we get knocked outYikes, I hope not. I'd rather have a fast start with a slow finish to get me a playoff birth. But then again, I don't get to pick do I? No, no. Fast start, sluggish middle games, pick it back up carrying momentum into the playoffs. Ol'mo has a lot to do with how far you go in the playoffs. If you have a win streak of 3-4 games going into the playoffs, this can carry you to the Super Bowl. If you struggle during those same games, 1-3 or 2-2, you may find yourself watching the playoffs from home. Must finish fast as well as start fast. Quote
buck3y3d Posted September 7, 2005 Report Posted September 7, 2005 I just cant see a wild card in our divsion it sucks but its true. We have to win the north this year or not make it. I think the AFC East gets 1 wild card and 1 more is up for grabs. I'd give it to Pitt or Baltimore right now.9-7, no playoffs but first winning season since 1990.Odell and Chenry voted to all rookie teams. Quote
Columbusbengal Posted September 7, 2005 Report Posted September 7, 2005 9-7, no playoffs but first winning season since 1990.Odell and Chenry voted to all rookie teams. I think there's a good chance that if Odell and Chris Henry make the all rookie team, the Bengals will be good enough to make the playoffs. Quote
mtmeece Posted September 7, 2005 Report Posted September 7, 2005 The Bengals are so close to getting it hitting on all cylinders that if they finish the year at 7-9 as opposed to say 11-5 the difference could be as small as 20 or so points. I think 11-5 is very possible Quote
John Stofa Posted September 7, 2005 Report Posted September 7, 2005 I think there's a good chance that if Odell and Chris Henry make the all rookie team, the Bengals will be good enough to make the playoffs. I agree! Quote
bengalindian Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 we start at 5-5 but we get hot down the stretch win our last 6 gameswin our first playoff game then we get knocked outYikes, I hope not. I'd rather have a fast start with a slow finish to get me a playoff birth. But then again, I don't get to pick do I? hmmm... going into the playoffs hot running on all clyinders or going into the playoffa cold and struggling i wonder what i would rather havethis one is a real brain teaser Well yeah sure, but the teams that get to the playoffs on the strength of playing mediocre football until getting hot in December rarely go deep into the playoffs. I'd rather have the good period come early, just to solidify the playoff spot. A good team wouldn't let a slow finish affect it's performance in a playoff game. This is a valid point, sir. Usually, if you're fighting for a spot in the playoffs all throughout December, that means that usually your team will run out of gas. Hence, usually a team that is able to play the last game (or two) without playing their first stringers has the advantage, hands down.For example, when was the last time a wild card team won the Super Bowl??

membengal Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 I had been thinking 10-6 most of the off-season, so I guess I will stick with that.I will feel a lot better about that if they can get off 1-0 though... Quote
walshfan Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 I agreee with Joisey.....19-0 Quote
BengalPappaw Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 That Kool Aid must be good!! I hope we win 19 -- but I'd settle for 13 -- BUT MOST OF ALL I WANT TO BEAT THE BROWNIES!!! Quote
Tee Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 10-6 and a trip to the playoffs! :player: Quote
Stripes Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 Wha....did you say something Tee??? I think something about your post kind of directed my attention elsewhere! Quote
The Big Orange Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 I think it was the fatty frontal sacks. Quote
TippCityRick Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 Wha....did you say something Tee??? I think something about your post kind of directed my attention elsewhere! . . . and it was a nice ride!! 10-6 Quote
KiLBurn Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 Gotta go with 10-6. We make it 2 deep in the playoffs.Tee, 2nd from the right would be my draft pick. Quote
