Marlon23 Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Will we Make the playoffs this year? I think if we Beat Buffalo this weekend, we make the adjustments out of the Bye Week and we actually Make and Win a Playoff game this year. What do you guys and gals think?

fredtoast Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Agree. I felt our roster was good enough to make the playoffs before the season started. They have underachieved, but I still think we have the talent to make the playoffs and win a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhfinks Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Sadly, i disagree. I love this team, but one win over Cleveland and a win against Buffalo will not convince me to drink the Kool-aid. So, lets see where it goes. At this point I need to see more from the OL. I need to see the run game produce true results. The Defense i believe could win a post season game I'm not convinced the offense could. Yes, we have talent but Mixon has Yet to score as a Bengal (i think that's right). I need to see what other WR will step up and help Dalton and Green. Kroft may be a one week wonder and I am not willing to fall into the Eifert trap just yet. So, a win against Buffalo followed by the bi-week and then the true test of this team - they must beat Pittsburgh, not once this year, but twice for me to say they have a playoff chance in hell. I hope they can go to the playoffs, Hell I hope they win the SB, however, at this point i would say the chances of that happening are equal to a snowball in Hell. Realistically i think this team is 9-7 and just miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent is there, I think we will be making some adjustments, if we can get this win come Sunday we do have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeds Orange Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Although they are probably better than many of the 0-3 teams since 1980, the odds are just too long... http://www.oddsshark.com/nfl/its-over-nfls-0-3-teams No first-round playoff embarrassment this year, Bengals fans.

Here is the way I look at it. If 5 teams have done it, but none have done it in 19 years then the odds are that a team will do it this year. Statistically we are overdue for an 0-3 team to make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SF2| Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 I see maybe 6 more wins. 7-9. Our division is garbage, 3 teams in the bottom 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. 4 of the next 6 on the road. We are not winning 3 of those 4 on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmishBengalFan Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Dudes, chill. We still control our own destiny. 13-3 will get us first place, even if one of the other North teams runs the table (aside from their obligatory loss to us during our upcoming 13-game winning streak). We feast of Buffaloooo this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 One of 2 things needs to happen. 1. The O-line plays better. 2. Lazor needs to scheme around it well enough to put up an average of 24 ppg or so. I want to see our offense continue to play well against a team that has a good front 7. Then I will make a call. This week is likely one of those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
