6 Games Remain Whats Your Realistic Prediction

[jwil007]

It would be nice to go 11-5 but I think 8-8 is more like it....

I'm concerned with Dallas at home SD on the road both Pitt and Bmore games...We have the POTENTIAL and TALENT but I question coaching.....

Peerman needs the ball more....Sanu, Hawkins Jones need to play more....Gresham needs to keep on getting it done...

And Thanks to Eric Berry for ticking off Gresham...Whatever he said we should make sure a Cincy player says this to his ass EVERY WEEK!

I think they can go 8-8 realistically, but I think they have a chance at winnnig their next four games (no game will be easy like they have been, but of the next 4, I see SD as the toughest opponent).

9-7? I still do not think they can beat Pittsburgh or Baltimore, unless Roethlisberger is injured. Even then, the Ravens were only able to put up 13 with no Troy P., so even with a backup they can score enough to beat us.

Doesn't really matter, lets take it one game at a time, not get ahead of ourselves, and hope the current 2 game winning streak continues for at least 4 more.

I have a feeling, that loss to Cleveland earlier in the year is going to come back and haunt us. Not that it matters. It is great to make it to the playoffs, but if you get there and are embarrassed in the 1st round like last year, does it really matter?

8-8

Wins against the Raiders (horrible), Eagles (already quit), and Ravens (Ravens are resting starters).

Last minute losses to Cowboys and Chargers due to bad coaching.

Pittsburgh beats us in Big Ben's first game back.

Every game is feared because of bad coaching, but I don't like the mindset the Cowboys are in right now and I think at Home in Cincinnati with a sold out crowd and the more pressure on the Cowboys to succeed than the Bengals, they will have a rough game and I can see us winning that one by more points than any other game of the last 6. I thin Vick will be back for our game, and with a scarmbling QB, our over pursuit on runs and t he innate ability to bite on the playaction almost every time, the Eagles game actually worries me more than the Cowboys.

However, of the 4 we stand a chance in, the one that worries me the most is SD, as it is in SD, time difference, WC, Rivers and Gates...just scares me more than the other 3.

I don't think Baltimore will be resting starters during our game, as I think the last week of the season will determine who has the #1 seed between Houston and Baltimore and they will be playing their guts out for that game.

 

[cincygrad]

Houston has a 1 game lead over the Ravens and they also hold a head-to-head tiebreaker.....And they are healthier than Houston. The Ravens/Broncos game is a big one..... If Houston continues to roll towards the 1 seed, the Ravens/Broncos game could determine which team gets the number 2 seed. I guess this might make our week 17 game relevant.

I hate our chances in SD.... Cincinnati teams and the west coast rarely mix.

we've seen it before, the Bengals can not survive a situation where they have to win.

 

[mrschaney]

I can feel it, we are about to pull what the New York Giants did last season. We are getting better each week! Even that lost to Denver was a moral victory. I think we have a chance to go all the way this year!!!!!!!!!!!
As Mike Brown has said,
"The Bengals look swell, in 2012!"

9-7 for you guys. You guys underestimate how shitty San Diego is. That one is a win. I think 9-7 is the number. Not sure if that makes the playoffs or not though.

I would say it's unlikely that 9-7 would get us to the playoffs. You have to figure that if we get to 9-7, that would mean we beat 3 or 4 NFC teams. That would mean that we had 6 or 7 losses in the AFC. Looking at the Steelers and Colts schedules, you have to figure that both of them make it to at least 9 wins and probably hold all tie-breakers.

 

[DanBengalfan]

yea, I think a pittsburgh collapse is our only hope, but they don't collapse easy, Charlie Batch is still a decent backup.

Indy won't collapse, everyone looks bad against New England, don't let that affect your judgement of Indy.

As usual, we don't have control of our own destiny and will need plenty of help. I do believe a 9-7 team gets in (maybe 2), but unfortunately, we don't currently hold any tie-breakers.

Indianapolis does still have Houston twice so that does bode well for us.

Well, we do as of right now have control over our own destiny, but each week that shrinks. Until we lose again, we do have control. We have 6 games left, it is possible to win all 6, but this team not very dang likely.

If we did win all 6, 11-5 is a playoff team in this conference I think, even with a piss poor conference record.

Do I think we will? Not a chance in hell.

 

[DanBengalfan]

first, they need to build our hopes up... and just when we finally believe....

BOOM

 

[bengaldoug]

With the current tiebreaker situation they really need to beat both Pittsburgh and Baltimore......chances of that happening?

pffffttttt..............................

Until they show differently, they are still Pittsburgh's bitch.

I think we go 8-8. Miss the playoffs and fuck our draft position all to hell. Typical.
