Well, the NFL season is finally here.... And judging by the activity on this message board and the huge crowds at the Paul for preseason, I can tell Bengal fans are truly excited. The enthusiasm is palpable.
Most of the NFL media has ignored the Bengals this preseason. They're not interesting enough to be the worst team (Dolphins are setting a pretty high bar), but I haven't seen anyone predict more than 5 or 6 wins for this team. Going into training camp, I figured they should at least win 6 games given that Marvin was able to get 6 wins out of this bunch without even trying. Then AJ got hurt, Cordy Glenn got a head injury that isn't clearing up, Boling retired, and I remembered that we're not currently employing any NFL quality linebackers.
My expectations are low. I think we go 5-11 and draft a qb in the first round next April.
