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.
Still, making the playoffs after your scathing doom and gloom is funny.

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 roles, they have a brief period of being able to win. Then as subpar coaching and mangement and an overall atmosphere of dysfunction starts to bear down on the new guys, that window will begin to close. If my theory is correct, next year will not be as successful as this year.

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. He could have continued, but the Texans elected to take him out.
Jake Delhomme played his first live snaps all season, and played the rest of they way.
Considering all of that was happening, the fact that they stayed ahead of Tennessee,
a team motivated to win or end their season, coupled with the fact that the game
meant nothing to the Texans as far as playoff seeding or home field advantage, I
would say they played very well. The played the second string most of the second
half of the game against Tennessee's first team. The Texans also played a straight 4
in the box defense, which they will not do next week. They weren't giving anything
away to Tennessee in case they were the Wild Card opponent next week.
I believe the Texans will win, but I do not think it is a lock at all. Cincy played very
tough here when Houston beat them on the next to last play of the game. I assure
you, the Texan staff is not taking them lightly either.

Originally posted by shortcircuitThe Texans lost their last three including an embarrassing loss to the Colts. I think that rates as "not playing well".

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.

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

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.

My prediction next year is that they will not even make the playoffs. Now that the new players have been in the system a full year the spiral downward has begun as their eyes will be propped open with tooth picks to the horror that is Mike Brown and the Cincinnati Bengals. Their only hope is to demand a trade or retire.
On a side note, I heard the Mike Brown has won the Executive award of the 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.
