Cincin, OH The Bengals

Well, what does everyone think of the Bengals this year? Are they the same old Bengals? Or do you think they might actually be competitive? Is the coaching change enough to make a difference????

 

Success is learned, then it is practiced, then it is shared. -Sparky Anderson.

They act like losers. Thats what they'll continue to be until they have an attitude change. The coaching change is a good beginning to that, but its only the first season under new coaching. I think they will do better than in past years, but miss the playoffs by quite a bit.

 

I don't think that they'll make the playoffs either, but Sunday's effort vs. the Raiders was very encouraging. I felt the force flowing through my body while watching a Bengals game for the first time in a very long while. They will win the Super Bowl within 5 years. In Marvin I trust.

 

Super Bowl in 5 years??? lol Keep dreaming!!
They did great against the Raiders, but this is only ONE game. They were dreadfull against my Broncos!!
I think they will start to be a competitive next year, but Super Bowl in 5 years... That's the funniest thing I heard lately

 

Yes, it is only one game but 5 years is a long time to improve. It's ok if you don't think it will happen. There's always doubters. By the way...nice QB pickup in Jake Plummer. He's solid.

 

Well, we obviously don't need a QB to win Solid defense and AMAZING RB
And after all, he's more solid than Vick and Pennighton!!

 

The Bengals will get a real lesson in what Attitude means this sunday when the STEELERS come into town. Just 2 weeks after being shot, Joey Porter will start at Linebacker for the Steelers...That is detication and a winning Attitude. RIP Bungles.

 

Did someone say, GO BROWNS!

 

I think the Steelers are going to be in for a fight. I think the Bengals are going to be confident and looking good after their strong performance against the Raiders.

I don't know if they are going to be super bowl contenders 5 years, anything is possible, but I at least think that the WILL be conpetitive within the next 2 seasons, if not this season.

 

Yeah, he got shot in the butt!! lol

 

I agree with jason

you know, after the game they played Sunday, that they've got good attitudes going into this sunday's game, and if they do just as good, they could go a long way, I'm guessing maybe 6-12, which is an improvement over the past years

 

The Steelers are going to need luck to win this game. The Bengals aren't going to lay another egg at home. Marvin won't let 'em. It's going to a long, tiring day for Joey Porter running around on only one butt cheek.

 

LOL

 

Ok, If you think it is funny to laugh at hurt people we can do that I suppose. I can't think of a funnier moment than when Tim Krumrie broke his leg in the Super Bowl as the Bungles lost to the 49ers, I mean that was hilarious!

 

Just remember... It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Then it's hilarious!

I don't see the Bengals making the Superbowl, but I will give them about 50/50 chance of making the playoffs at least. They look pretty decent compared to previous seasons under lackluster coaches.

 

Nah, don't take it wrong Sean!! It's just because it's a butt injury Come on, you know that if sharpe had a butt injury you'd give me a hard time!!
I almost got into it with a Bungle fan during the Broncos-Bungles opening game, because Mr Bungle was so upset to see his team embarassed once more that he was making stupid comments when Portis was out for a couple of plays (like I hope he tore his ACL and stuff like that... VERY smart!!)...

 

Ludo, you have several advantages the rest of us do not. Being from a country other than this one you have the luxury of getting to choose which team to associate yourself with. Those of us from Cincinnati havent the luxury of disassociating ourselves from the team that bears our name. You get to choose which team you associate yourself with. It takes no courage to root for a team which is and has been good for the last 10 years. I have more respect for the bengals fans who stupidly and stubbornly continue to root for their lousy team after nearly 15 years of being awful. Even then, the 30+ year history of this team is the history of an awful team punctuated by one or two years of decent play, then going right back to being awful. Even though I think they are foolish to back the team due to the fact that it will not change while the fans keep losing profitable, I respect that they can continue to cheer for a bad team. If you're still wearing your bronco's hat in 10 or 15 years when they have a period of being awful, then you're a real fan. I dont even watch football, so I dont have a fan loyalty one way or the other. I'm also one of the few people that seems to be angry that a team as lousy as the bengals represents my hometown.

 

I edited the message because it's really not worth fighting over, but i am VERY disappointed in the way you kinda put me down. I have been a Broncos fan for almost 20 years, through good and bad years, so i must be what you call a real fan. But that you say i have no courage (what does courage has to do with picking a team?) and that you do not really respect me, that kinda hurts... Thought we were good friends, I was obviously wrong.

 

I think you mistook my meaning. All I was saying was not to dis bengals fans. Most of them are from Cincinnati and have cheered their same team in spite of how awful they are. They cant help their team sucking, they try to though by going out and cheering. And allthough I dis the team, and think they are terrible, I would never disrespect a fan who goes through that much ***** just for being a fan. There are idiot fans like the guy who sat by you at the game, but for the most part, people understand that its just a game and not something thats really important to life. I apologize if you took offense, I meant none.

I think you mistook my meaning. All I was saying was not to dis bengals fans. Most of them are from Cincinnati and have cheered their same team in spite of how awful they are.........well you know what Jason...??? It is a free country and I am personally "dissing" on the Bengals. They better win the next game or they will hear alot more knocks!!!

....go broncos(my favorite)...then bengals(2nd favorite)...then Lions(third favorite)....then Colts(4th favorite)....than Dolphins(5th favorite).

 

then Steelers 6th favorite team?

 

Well, they have Maddox, an ex-Bronco, so maybe

 

I can't stand the Steelers. I will not say that Cleveland has good quarterbacks, but Tommy Maddox is a joke. XFL?
