HoosierCat 881 Report post Posted January 19 Thought this was worth sharing. Contrary to popular opinion, the Bengals are not a bad team (at least over the last decade), just an average squad in the same mediocre pile with teams like the Charger, Bears and Panthers. You know who is epically bad? Cleveland. Only the Jags are even remotely close to their pathetic 42 wins. Even perennial punchline Detroit is light years closer to Cincy than the Clowns.

The Bengals just never really shook that 90s label. Like next year when they make the playoffs there will be some talking head spewing this isn't your "same ole Bengals". Bengals move slowly for change but they haven't been that lowly and hopeless for a long time. Literally anything positive that happens to the Bengals people start spouting off "This isn't the same Bengals". Eventually a micro phone will find its way to a former player talking about jock straps or something that happened 30 years ago. That's why it was funny to me when they trolled Joe Thomas about the cart. What decade is this? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine what our record would be like if we were swapped with the Pats or the Colts. Even being in the AFCN, we still have as many or nearly as many wins as many of the second place teams in other divisions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would add nice road trips for the whole division. Would have sucked during Peyton years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stripes 939 Report post Posted January 20 I've long suggested a three-way swap of the Dolphins, Ravens, and Colts to make the divisions make sense. Colts to the AFCN, Dolphins to the AFCS, and Ravens to the AFCE. I know it'd screw with "rivalries", but who cares. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wraith 354 Report post Posted January 20 Frankly just swapping Baltimore and Indy would make a ton of sense. Baltimore in the AFC North makes as much sense as booking a winter vacation in Duluth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen Raven's fans bitch about this while admitting it. Somehow it's all well and good if their guy is trying to set a record though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wraith 354 Report post Posted January 24 I bet Ja'Marr Chase has a profound impact on the 2022 draft....the NFL is a copycat league and I bet other teams will overdraft WR trying to capture lightning in a bottle...thing is ...there are no Ja'Marr Chases in this draft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stripes 939 Report post Posted January 24 He's certainly going to encourage at least three teams to overdraft/sign in the secondary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArmyBengal 1,021 Report post Posted January 24 I’ve thought the same thing. How many teams will try to pair college WR/QB combos, thinking there will be better chemistry ?? While it’s not a bad idea in and of itself, those QB’s and WR’s aren’t Burrow and Chase. Good luck with that… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COB 1,160 Report post Posted January 25 Ben in the front row. Hey Steeler fans, the 4 AFC QBs in the divisional round were Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, and Tannehill. Who you guys have? No one, but you at least have a tough talking coach. Enjoy the basement fuckheads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
