Bengals make the playoffs!!!

After losing to the Ravens.
Only in Cincinnati. Of course, I predict they will lose the first game in the playoffs and I don't even know who they will play or where.
Originally posted by shortcircuitThey have zero change of beating the Texans. As a result, Mike Browns record will stand. Do you know what record that is? It is the longest stretch of any NFL team without a playoff win, including such teams as the Browns. LOL.

Still, making the playoffs after your scathing doom and gloom is funny.
Originally posted by whodeyOutside of your ridiculous pessimism, what could possibly give you the idea that the Bengals have "zero chance" of beating the Texans? Houston hasn't played very well the last month and may have to use Jake Delhomme at QB. I think it's very likely the Bengals will win.

I have to admit, I learned something from all this. Any time the Bungs have an infusion of a number of new players in key rol ...[text shortened]... will begin to close. If my theory is correct, next year will not be as successful as this year.
Originally posted by no1marauderActually, the Texans played pretty well yesterday considering the didn't dress Arian Foster, Jonathan Joseph or Owen Daniels. They also limited Andre Johnson to 15 plays.

EDIT: The Texans are currently a less than overwhelming 3 point favorite. http://www.onlinesportshandicapping.com/nfl-lines.html
Originally posted by shortcircuitThe Texans lost their last three including an embarrassing loss to the Colts. I think that rates as "not playing well".

TJ Yates suffered a separated shoulder on the first play from scrimmage and then led
the team on a very impressive 80 yard drive for a touchdown. He was 4-4 passing on
that drive ...[text shortened]... t to last play of the game. I assure
you, the Texan staff is not taking them lightly either.

Yates rallied them nicely to win in the last seconds against the Bengals in early December, but I wouldn't count on him being as effective against them again. The Texans are really banged up and while it's sort of a tossup game, I like the Bengals.

Originally posted by whodeyI realize that most of you have not followed this horrible, horrible organization like I have, so not understanding them is...well....understandable. However, the more educated I can make people and the more they witness from the Bungs perhaps people will stop second guessing the pessimism that surrounds this organization.

The Bungs started off kinda well but have fizzled of late. This is standard for a Bungs team going into the playoffs.

My prediction next year is that ...[text shortened]... year. All I can say is, thanks Mike Brown for 21 years without a playoff win. Your the best!!
Originally posted by shortcircuitThey are two different animals. OSU has a rich winning tradition that was ravaged by NCAA restrictions and the Bungs have no winning history with Mike Brown. As a result, OSU will soon be back on top of their game and the Bungs will continue to wallow in their own excrement like a happy pig on a hot day.
Do you refer to Ohio State games as bye week games at the collegiate level as well?
After all, the Bengals performed much better than OSU did this year.
