They need help in a lot of places like the o-line, rb, and in the secondary. I also don't think Tomlin is the answer. He just looks clueless at times kinda like Marvin Lewis.

  
  Tomlin does some dumb stuff....the ring helps but still. They are old but still have a chance next year IMO. Haley is a joke....this team can't touch midfield. Scoring 10 points at home against anyone is completely unacceptable.
  
  Maybe ol Hines was a good luck piece?
  
  Turnovers and injuries overwhelmed this season....bluh!

  I was saying today how they should be throwing to Brown more, then literally next play he gets the deep TD. He has top 10-15 receiver potential but I feel like he's completely underutilized.

  Will Bengals and Ravens just play all 2nd teamers next week?

  I would treat it like a preseason game

  Can the Bengals get the #5 seed? If so I'd try to win.

  30% of a ring is better than most coaches have

  What does Baltimore have to do with it? Can they pass Indy?

  No. Indy locked the 5 seed.

  Only read half of what you said. My bad.
  
  Like_that has your answer though

  Thanks....
• Tiernan

  seed 3 plays 6 and 4 plays 5
  
  Cincy headed to NE most likely.
  
  nice while it lasted.
• Ironman92

  

  Well Cincy locked at #6.....not sure I'd play anyone
• Azubuike24

  

  Apparently they've said they will play all the starters. I'm actually hoping for Houston to get the 3. The Bengals owe them from last year and quite honestly, I think they can win at Houston.
  
  With that said, Houston plays at Indy, who has nothing to play for.

  They way the Bengals have played the past few weeks don't give me much hope that they could knock out New England or Houston. Stranger things have happened, though. Guess we'll see what happens.

  I assume you are talking strictly about the offense. The defense has given up 1 or fewer touchdowns in 6 of the last 7. The depth of the Bengals dline at least gives them a chance in the playoffs.

  I want to play New England. The best way to beat them is getting pressure on Brady and I think the bengals d-line can get that pressure. New Englands D is also weak and they would have a hard time against AJ. To win the bengals would need Dalton to eliminate the one stupid mistake he's been making each game.

  Brady is tough to get to. I think the Bengals could strip some balls and play well and sneak a late FG win or NE just pounds them early and often.

  Dalton would need to make some good throws too. You might be able to slow Brady down with some pressure, but he's gonna slice you up enough.
