Oh, well, at least we're above the Clowns.That is all that truly matters. Don't believe me, check out my avatar!Personally, I'm not convinced -- and I'm as big a fan as everyone here -- that the Bengals can make a playoff run. I think Palmer needs a full season if he starts to get accustomed to the NFL speed, Rudi a full season without having Dillon behind him to push him everyday (meaning Rudi has the job now instead of consistently impressing the coaching staff), there will be a lot of new faces on defense (oh dear god I hope so). I have said before and I stand by it, playoff run in 2004? I think that's a stretch. But I honestly believe that 2005 will not only be a playoff run, but we could be legitimate contenders for the whole tuna salad with a side Super Bowl.

I agree, it's a longshot, exactly because of the questions you raise. But on the other hand, in the AFCN, all four teams are in rebuilding mode, Baltimore being the furthest along and, arguably, Cincy fairly close behind. Our D has no where to go but up, after all, and both teams will (probably) be starting 2nd year QBs who missed some or all of their rookie year. As for Pitt & Cleveland, both are staring at tough offseason choices at key positions like QB, and both are saddled with high-priced underachievers. I can very easily see the same scenario playing out next season that did last season, with us and the Ravens fighting for a playoff spot in the final week.

Great points Joisey and I think if we were in any division to make the surprise jump into the playoffs, it definately would be the AFCN. We'll have to see.
