GDT.

First time in a long time, the Bengals are playing a meaningless game week 17 with a playoff spot locked in. Only bad part is they're locked into the 6th seed.

Does anyone think they'll rest some guys? Does anyone want to bet that Marvin has no clue they can't affect their playoff seed? Who do you guys want to play in the wild card round (all the division winners can get the #3)?

I think i'd rather play NE or Balt out of all the choices. Hou and their playaction offense does not match up well with the Bengals defense and the overaggressive defensive backs. And Den, well they're just playing way too well. NE is almost unbeatable as well, but when you're picking the worst of the best, their's no good choices. I pick Balt or NE because they have weaknesses on defense i think the Bengals can exploit. It's entirely reasonable, if not probable, that AJ Green goes B-A-N-A-N-A-S on either of those secondaries in a playoff game and leads the team to victory.

I would rather play Baltimore or Houston. The Pats and Broncos would just destroy us

Baltimore. New England and Denver are likely too much for us, and we already saw what a playoff game at Houston looks like.

Baltimore easily.

Watching dwyer bounce out some ten yarders yesterday doesn't give me too much confidence in bottling up Foster but I will take houston next just because they don't have Peyton or Ugh boy. And the Texans were blown out a couple of times this year which gives me more confidence for some year.

Then i'll go Denver because I like how our offence matches up with their D and our D line can really frustrate Peyton. And we should've had more int's in the reg season game.

I think we match up the best against the pats but they always play great at home and I could see our young team letting the bright lights and atmosphere get to them. And belicheck just seems to be three steps ahead of Marvin whenever they go head to head.

With that being said, WHO CARES BRING EM ON!!!!

I actually voted for Denver..
I think we can play good enough defense to beat them. They have played one good team in the last couple months. I know Peyton is the man, but the Bengals defense has en amazing the last couple of months....
New England scares me to death..that is the last place I want them to go....

WHO-DEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd rather play baltimore. They are banged up, and we both know each other inside out. it would come down to execution and turnovers.

I voted for New England. I think the Bengals match up really well against that team. The Patriots' defense is not very good, and although the Patriots' offense is strong, the Bengals' defense is smothering opposing teams. The Bengals' offense is less bad than the Patriots' defense and I believe the Bengals' defense can play the Patriots' offense to a draw.

I vote Baltimore. Remember the Jets couple years ago. We already had the playoff locked up then coasted the final week and got blown out. Played them next week in the first round and could not ge t it going. We need to keep our foot on the gas.

Do we rest staters or let them play? Whatever the decision I'm banking on Marvin to make the wrong one... Laughing

Hopefully everyone plays today full speed. There are a lot of things that need to be cleaned up from last week before the playoffs start.
