The Big Orange Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I think we'll have a tied record with either Balt or Pitt, but we will win the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengal4life Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I think we'll go first Pit second. Defenses at the end of last season were starting to figure Rothlis. outBal. third. Boeller just flat out sucks and Jamal has to miss training campsIf there was a 10th place in the AFC North Cleveland would be there just becuase they are in a rebuilding stage.

thefrazz Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I think this:Bengals: because I am truly thinking that this is the year the D steps upSteelers: Ben is going to do well, but the Steelers as a team will come down to earthRavens: Boller just doesn't have it, Ray is getting old and they have been either 1 or 2 for too longBrowns: Poor guys are rebuilding after Butch pulled a Dave Shula on them. Will be a few years before they will be back in the race. They will not have to deal with 14 years of crap like we did tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ29 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/Old...iBengalcopy.jpgI completely disagree. This team is on the road to nowhere. Right now I think that they are well on their way. They can't find a good quarterback, and right now every draft pick that seems to look good in the beginning ends up being mediocre. They are starting to look exactly like we did at the beginning of ou run. I understand that Romeo Crennel is a great coach, but I have a feeling that since they have no talent, they will have a difficult time in the beginning and after a few years he will get run out of town. If they do that though, then we all know that the Browns are retarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Steelers - They won't come close to 15-1 again, but they probably won't have to. Bengals - I give 'em a punchers chance to win the division title outright, and a very good chance to win a wild-card berth. Ravens - They're usually better than I think they'll be. Good thing for them because I still think they suck. Browns - Romeo just told the locals it'll take years to fix the mess. Life is good.

Buck Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Second place would be my guess. The Ravens will be close but I think the Bengals will finish ahead of them. Defense & running game will give the Steelers the division title, but they'll loose at least four this year.11-5 Steelers10-6 Bengals8-8 Ravens3-13 BrownsI've been wrong before, though.

ShulaSteakhouse Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I get the feeling the Bengals will be a team fueled by early confidence and a great start like Pitt last year and will either have a 11-5 or 13-3 record, or will again be around .500 like the last two years if injuries occur etc..., and they get off to a slow start again because of all the youth on the team.I can say teams are going to have one hell of a time winning at PBS - every game will be sold-out with hungry Bengals' fans making deafening noise like they did on Monday Night last year and the players will feed off of that.It's all about team confidence and going into every game expecting to win instead of hoping - when a team gets to that systematic point then all of a sudden you become a Pitt or a Baltimore every season.

cincy9275 Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 i don't think the bengals will play second to anybody. we can win this division.bengals 11-5 very talented offense good coaches and a up and coming defense ravens 10-6 kyle boller is a scrub steelers 9-7 got lucky last year will surprise no one this seasonbrowns 4-12 new qb new coaches they will struggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who? Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 The Bengals Ravens and Steelers will be neck and neck all season long, but I have a feeling Baltimore edges it out on top. The Browns of course are in a rebuilding stage and will finish in last this season, but on the other hand they will develop key players such as Braylon Edwards and Charlie Frye.

derekshank Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Not that I really think I have any ability to judge how the division is going to play out (who would have thought the Steelers would have gone 15-1 with a rookie QB?), just for the fun of it, I'll put my opinion out there.I think Boller is a bust. He will have a short leash and quickly be yanked in favor of the more talented Anthony Wright, (or say, Matt Stover or the team mascot). They will be improved, but I don't know if their record will improve much. 9-7, 10-6 sounds about right.I just can't believe that the Steelers will be as good as last year. It had to be a fluke, right? I've seen way too many one year wonders, and even more fast and unexplained falls from grace. Too many superbowl champs, missing the playoffs the next year. I'd say 11-5 is fair. 12-4 sounds generous, and 10-6 maybe a bit too much wishful thinking.I've said before that 10-6 is a fair pick for the Bengals. 11 wins seems a tad bit homeristic for a team yet to crack 8 wins, and a mere 9 wins sounds a bit pessimistic for a Bengals fan, so 10 wins it is.All that to say, I voted for the Bengals to finish 2nd. Not because I believe any other team is better, but because there are 3 teams with very similar expectations. I can't possibly guess who will finish first, but my guess is it will be one of the other teams (the odds say its 2 out of 3 chance), but the Bengals can squeak into the playoffs with the wildcard.Hey one of these pretty dang good teams is going to finish 3rd. Better not be us. As for the other guys, it would seem like kind of a shame, except... I hate those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00leyn0ted Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I think the Bengals and Ravens could end up with identical records with the tie breaker being the division record. Due to the scheduling, past trends, and general intuition I think the Ravens would have a better division record even though we'll split the regular season. I think we're a deeper team in general. Their D is still going to be good and Boller will have no more excuses with a healthy Heap and more weapons at WR. Pittsburgh will hopefully get a healthy helping of humble pie so I can take trips back to Columbus and not have to listen to their obnoxious fans. The Browns will suck, but might still manage to split the season series which will continue to piss me off. Hopefully Dilfer doesn't know the O by the opener and their lines both fall apart like overcooked chicken. 1-(Tie)Ravens2-(Tie)Bengals3-Steelers4-Browns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I don't think 11-5 is really homerish It's very possible but I think the Bengals,Ravens & the steelers will be fighting for first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincyhokie Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 It's too early to predict. I like to do it after the pre-season but...Steelers 10-6Bengals 10-6Ravens 9-7Browns 6-10The preseason always brings injuries and changes things a bit. More often than not, the most conditioned teams BEFORE the pre-season are the ones that escape the most injuries...broken bones aside.

Section 310 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 HOMERS!!!!How in the world can an OBJECTIVE fan pick the Bengalsover the Steelers? Come on, they were 15-1 last year!!!I think our defense will slowly begin to show signs oflife, but it is unreasonable to think that Pollack andThurman can turn this squad around. True, BryanRobinson should help and Geathers/Williams turnedin good freshman years, but there are still too manyquestions about the D.I say Pitts 12-4, Cincy 10-6, Balt 9-7, Cleve 5-11.For me Balt is the big question...I know they addedsome WR help, but Ray Ray isn't the Player he usedto be and Boller Sucks...

HairOnFire Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Steelers - They won't come close to 15-1 again, but they probably won't have to. Bengals - I give 'em a punchers chance to win the division title outright, and a very good chance to win a wild-card berth. Ravens - They're usually better than I think they'll be. Good thing for them because I still think they suck. Browns - Romeo just told the locals it'll take years to fix the mess. Life is good. I'm bumping it. And just for the record, in another thread I predicted the Bengals would likely finish 10-6 this season. It was a great season. For those that don't think so answer this question. When was the last time every Bengal game meant something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
