Quote:Barring a collapse, Cincinnati and New England should get the byes.


My guess is whoever wins the South will get the Steelers.

Yeah,, the tinhorns would have to advance (and Cincy too if they don't get the bye). But if it somehow works out that Houston matches up with Cincy,, the Bengals are in real trouble. Of course, the Patriots are most likely going to the SB anyway,,but this is the year CINCY SHOULD get a playoff win (unless they have to face Houston for a 3rd time in 5 years).


The Bengals really choked hard on offense last night. Dalton actually looked good on the last drive when they had to try and score a TD. He had them driving, Green just fumbled it away after he caught a pass that would've converted a 1st down deep in tinhorns territory.


-Lots of critical penalties on offense

-Eifert had 2 killer drops on 3rd downs

-Green fumbled at the worst time (he also did that last year in the AFCN Title game vs Pitt in week 17. Bengals were driving in Steelers territory for a winning score,, Green got hit, fumbled, and lost the game)

-Dalton did miss a couple wide open throws.


Anyway, if the Texans get a home playoff game vs Steelers/Radiers/Bills/Jets, I could see them winning it.
