I personally think the Titans could hand them another loss as well. Going to be a long month of what-ifs. Let's just hope we win out. [/quote] the disapointing aspect is that on a neutral field I truly think the Bengals would handle the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] We'd handle the colts in INDY also I think, but that's the NFL, you know how many teams probably could have beaten us last year, but we were the 6th seed?

SouthPaw Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Its a damn shame that this might be one of the better overall teams the Bengals have fielded in years and they are probably not making the playoffs. Honestly, i think there is a better chance the Ravens lose out to get them in than the other scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you provide your indepth analysis of the playoff picture sir? [/quote] Look at my post a couple pages back it shows a few scenarios. For wild card purposes, if Pittsburgh wins out besides vs us, then we have to beat Baltimore and then one of the two NFC games. If Pittsburgh drops another game and loses to us, we can get in by going 2-2 and beating both Pittsburgh and Baltimore, or by going 3-1 but losing to Baltimore. We are guaranteed to control our own destiny going into week 15, and if we win vs Dallas or Philly we are guaranteed to control our own destiny going into week 16 vs Pittsburgh. Also if we beat Dallas and Philly and Pittsburgh loses to either sd or Dallas, a win vs Pittsburgh could clinch us a spot in week 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumble In the Jungle Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Is there a chance if we win out and go 11-5 and still NOT make the Playoffs? Didn't that happen to the Patriots once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You asked if the Bengals could go 11-5 and not make the playoffs. The answer is no, its not mathematically possible. If the Bengals go 11-5 the Steelers can not finish any better than 10-6.

If the Bengals are going to lose one of the next 4, it would be much better to lose to Dallas or Philly. But lets just go 4-0 and to hell with all that tie-breaker BS.

Bleeds Orange Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 [quote name='JBandJoeyV' timestamp='1354496180' post='1187991'] There are several threads out there, but with 4 games to go, figured we could make just 1 to discuss possible outcomes. I'm pretty much counting Indy in and every team besides Stealers and Bengals out. Unless something crazy happens it is going to come down to us and them for the last spot. At the 3/4s point... Stealers 7-5 Bengals 7-5 Stealers remaining opponents: SD, @Dallas, Cincy, Cleveland Cincinnati remaining opponents: Dallas, @Philly, @Pittsburgh, Baltimore Stealers are 2-2 in the division, 4-5 in the AFC Cincinnati is 1-3 in the division, 5-5 in the AFC Obviously we have to beat Pittsburgh to get in. So Im just going to go on assumptions that we do because if we dont then this thread doesnt matter. To control our own destiny, we have to beat Pittsburgh and Baltimore. If we win both of those, we can afford to lose 1 of the NFC games. Therefore the next two arent must wins, but we HAVE to win one of the two to control our own destiny. If we beat pittsburgh, but lose to baltimore, we would need Pittsburgh to lose another game besides ours for us to get in. If they lost to cleveland, we could still afford to lose one of the NFC games. If they lost to SD or Dallas, we would have to win both NFC games. Make a long story short, we can afford to lose one of the NFC games as long as we win the last 2. [/quote] Okay, where you at, JB? How do things look after today's surprising results? Oh, and the Colts will never lose another game...ever...again...ever...apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
