If the Bengals win tomorrow they clinch a playoff spot..

If they lose tomorrow night and both SD and Balt win their games Sunday afternoon the Bengals will be playing for the division with a loss leaving them out of the playoff altogether..

I think I have that right?

Close. If we lose tomorrow, then we'll either need to beat Pittsburgh or have both SD and Balt lose or we're out.

Come Sunday we'll know exactly where we stand. Winning one of two national tv games would be a milestone for this bunch.

Don't we just need to either Baltimore or SD lose if we lose last two?

If we win even 1 of these 2, we're never getting rid of Dalton and Hobson is going to break the internet from his giddiness.

BTW, the most Bengal-thing to do would be to win both and then get blown out in week 1 of the playoffs.

Maybe if we back into the playoffs the pressure will be off and they'll actually coach/play well in a playoff game.
Or not.

I've seen this movie before. The Bengals will pull wins out of their asses the next two weeks, get the 3rd seed, make everyone think they have finally gotten over the prime time thing, and host the Chargers in a rematch of last year where they promptly implode and everyone says "Oh yeah, they're the Bengals".

 

[alf8478]

Good teams know that all they have to do is put pressure on us, and once we make a mistake, we never recover. That's why I want no part of Pitt or Baltimore.
I think San Diego is better than they were last year, and we saw how that went.
Our best bet in the playoffs is to play the Colts. They are the epitome of a mediocre team that gets elevated with a very-good/great quarterback. He even makes their coach, who i don't think is a good coach, look good. I know they killed us earlier, but they are more banged up now.

You're right. My bad. We can beat out any seven loss team if we lose out but not any six loss team. Lets hope Hoyer starts against the Ravens, and/or Kansas City finds some way to come up with a game and beat SD.

KC still has a shot to make the playoffs and are at home. They'll win that game.

I agree...... San Diego's D looked tired the other night. I think the Chiefs can run on them -- Of course, it's Andy Reid, so he'll likely just let Alex Smith pass it 50 times.

the buffalo loss helped our cause. now we need a raven or SD loss and we are in regardless.

whoopdefrickendo. andy will still stink

idk about that...if SD wins they are the 5th seed....that much I know. If CIN goes 9-6-1...and BAL goes 10-6...who gets in?
