We could be in a little trouble

[CrashDavisSports]

Too many pundits and analysts have us as a consensus #2 in the power rankings behind Denver. Second we start getting praised, we go in the shitter.

Does this team have the moxy to withstand the constant national jinxing without and knocking on wood?

I don't think the players pay as much attention to that as the fans do.

i think it helps fill PBS though, people around this town tend to be negative about sports and not want to fool with these teams unless they are doing really well.

 

[DanBengalfan]

he'd kick ass at safety though.

wrong thread

My personal power ratings (objective, adjusted by mathematic formula) I have been updating for 2 plus years have us in a four way tie for third with Denver, San Francisco, and strangely enough, Arizona. New England is tied with Carolina for 7th just one point behind that group. Oh, my ratings still have Seattle on top, with San Diego only one point behind in second.

That is a little premature, to say the least........

But it's not as bad as the curse of the Sports Illustrated cover spread.

Nice win over the champs last week.

 

[DanBengalfan]

well, we can cross off the "falcons are shitty" theory.

looks like our boys beat a legitimate team. 35-0 so far, wondering when they are going to take out Ryan and Julio so they can work the backups.

Our first two victims have made us look good in their next games for sure........

Holy Shit! What the fuck is wrong with Tampa? A bunch of folks had them as a playoff team.... Hell, even Butch Hobson was singing their praises when he suggested they would be one of our four losses.

And WTH is going on with ATL -- They were piss poor against our D - World beaters against New Orleans and Tampa.

maybe the coach's speech was like, "you losers just lost to the Bungals, that's like the Harlem Globetrotters losing to the Washington Generals, and that hasn't happened since 1971, and the Generals were pretending to be the New Jersey Reds"

 

[cincygrad]

How can an NFL team be getting beat 56-0?

I've watched some shitty Bengals teams..... I've watched Gus Frerrote and Scott Mitchell play QB for us.... I suffered through Klingler and Akili Smith..... I've watched defenses where our best player was Brian Simmons or Kevin Kasverharn (or however you spell it)..... But shit - We never were down by 56 points after 3 quarters. What the fuck?

I don't know....we're awesome?
