NOBODY would be afraid of that trash defense in the playoffs.
Gotta play defense to win Championships. Bungles cannot do that.

Agree. Defense is not near good enough to make any real noise in the playoffs.
If (Big IF) Cincy somehow finds their way into the 7 seed, then yeah I could see them maybe stealing a WC win against Bills or Ravens in another shootout game. But not nearly solid enough to go too far. It would have to be a pretty big transformation/improvement from the defense the rest of this year.
They still have a shot at maybe making it, as the mid teams just above them in the AFC aren't that good either.
Bolts
Donks
Colts
Cincy still gets to play the Bolts and Donks this year . Those are obviously must win games.
Colts upcoming schedule is brutal.
No margin for error and need some help.
Must win for Cincy next week vs the Bolts.
Must win for Cincy against the Donks (and hope the Chiefs beat the Donks 2x).
Must win AT LEAST 1 game vs the Squealers minimum.
Need some help by Colts falling off and the Chiefs taking care of business against the Bolts and Donks.
Still a shot, but it's a very very tough one.

It's kind of weird... We wouldn't have Uche, Hopkins or Hunt if we were healthy. That would be Ok but Veach has done a nice job.
