alleycat Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 It's crazy. The Bengals are in a really bad spot, because of the logjam and how poor their divisional and conference records are. I even found a scenario whereby they don't make the playoffs even if they win out: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 yeah the idea that we win out or get 10-7 and dont make it in is heartbreaking lets hope we get the help we need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an apparent easy schedule after tonight. But they have been shaky for a while now, so they could lose some more. We definitely want the Texans winning the South, to avoid them in tiebreakers for the wildcard, right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno... boink them all. Do a body count Tuesday morning. I consulted with my Chinese fortune teller, Usa Lee Wong, and he tells me... The New Years Eve game vs the KC Swifties and the Refs is going to be an ax fight and whine-a-thon with the Bengals winning. Hopefully not a cliff hanger going into the fourth quarter for the refs to take complete control of the score board. Taylor Swift will have a Code Red and Travis Felch's hope of 2023 going out with a bang. Our playoff picture will be settled the. first weekend in January at Bengals stadium with a win and in scenario. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saphead Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 Why in the flying shit do we play on saturday again? I don't really mind it, but why? It's a normal NFL Schedule right on thru the holiest of Holidays including a Christmas Monday night game. Is it just to take advantage of no CFB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL monopolizes the weekends and lack of college football in late December. I actually like having NFL every day of the week if it was my choice. All other sports don't draw the eye balls like the holy shield does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer it on Saturday, late afternoon and away. Sunday would mean interfering with Christmas Eve and holiday olans and all the forced fa-la-la-la-la for-de-rol which I dislike immensely to begin with. New Years Eve plans now altered drastically because of the Taylor Swift fuckery. New Years Eve is now Bengals football with laptop and pizza. Actually preferable to a lot of other more traditional stuff but still. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 Just ran a Playoff Machine on several scenarios. Conceding a loss at KC (just in supposition, not reality), it’s looking like one of the few ways in is if CFT beats HOU this weekend. Anyone else seeing this?

Jamie_B Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 I keep running what I think are likely scenarios and we just don't get in. We're gonna need one of those unlikely wins from some team that isn't going to make it, to help us. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see it happening.

It had no other qualifier over 3 games—and no upsets. I’ll see if I can do it again and post it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
