Actually the Jets dont control their own destiny...
If Houston wins and Broncos lose...even if the Jets win they dont get in.
I think Cincy plays their starters and wins anyhow...
Marvin Lewis said he learned something from the Giants a few years ago that you should play your way in no matter what
Why wouldn't Cincy play their starters and try to win. There is still a slight advantage to having the 3rd seed vs the 4th and the Bengals can still get the 3rd seed.

IDK because if you play your starters and lose to the Jets you play them the following week and the Jets already showed they can beat their starters. If you play it like a preseason game then you play the Jets the following week and you have the advantage because you didn't show the Jets the real game plan and you know how the Jets will play against you.
Plus the Bengals have some banged up players, they may not want to be risking any further injury especially when they don't have a buy. They will start their players for the first half but like the Colts today they may take them out later in the game.
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
if they do make the playoffs it will be because two other teams not playing starters and pulling guys after the first half. in the end Rex will still be crying.
Yeah but if they play their starters they will most likely beat the Jets and would not be facing them in the playoffs because the Jets would be out.
If they win and the Patriots lose the Bengals get the 3rd seed. If they win their first two playoff games and the Patriots win theirs, the Bengals would host the Patriots in the Championship game.
The Bengals will play to win the game for 4 quarters unlike the Colts.
Well, you watched us last year, not that it matters. Miami doesn't deserve the playoffs at all. We might as well have not showed up in the first half the past 2 weeks. The Jets do not deserve a playoff spot either IMO. It blows my mind that they are even still in contention. Unfortunately for the Jet's fanbase, Sanchez will blow it at some point. Whether it be next week, or in the super bowl, he'll blow it. That's not even being a Miami homer. You can't honestly say if Sanchez was in a situation where he HAD to lead the Jets down field for a TD in a playoff game, that he would do it. I'd put $50 down that he couldn't.
