Bengals measuring stick

I'm going into Sunday's game with this mentality- If we win, playoffs are realistic. 5-4 with an easy remaining schedule, not ruling out a small run until we hit a playoff juggernaut. If we lose by 3-9 points, Probably not a playoff team. Might squeak a wild card but probably won't go anywhere. Any loss greater than that- a great expectation setter for the rest of the season. We'll have fun playing spoiler for some teams but we're not there.

Honestly, this is a great situation to be in going against a team like the Bengals.
