Quote:We can "hope" for it. I know the odds of it happening are not very good but what were the odds the Bengals went 9-7 and made the playoffs with Dalton as their QB? I'm not saying we will make the playoffs but crazier things have happened.

 

I am very realistic and I think we are a 7 win team but having a couple lucky bounces here and there wouldn't hurt.,

 

Well shoot, I "hope" for it too.....difference is, when/ if it doesn't happen, I'm smart enough to realize that it was a longshot and that 2015 is the year we really should expect to make the run. 

 

I fear some of the "fans" out there might take such a short sighted view of this and sky is falling mindset if we happen to not reach their "playoff" hopes for 2014, when in reality there wasn't a good chance for that anyway.
