  1. Really guys?? Really? This team was deemed the worst in the shortened preseason. As preseason went on, the team was a shambles. So what happened? A rookie OC, rookie QB and rookie WR led this team to a winning record and the playoffs. Everybody knew the team wasn't a threat to advance past the wildcard round. This team is who we thought it was.

    But having said that, good lord, how can you complain about this season? Are there areas to improve on? Oh yeah...DBs, Oline, running game, receiver corps, no doubt. but before game one on paper, this team sucked. You can't add everything in one preseason.

    I'm proud of this team and I think it can and will only get better from here.

  2. Tebows fav bible verse is John 3:16 he threw for 316 yards with a 31.6 avg and was told plays by John !!!!!

    Now if that ain't evidence of a higher power I don't know what is I'm about to put the house on Denver to win it all ;)

    You forgot the part where apparently the opening kickoff hit the CROSS bar of the goal post and landed smack on the 20 yard line.

  3. Looks like it may be Kellen Clemens time in St. Looie Sunday.

    If we lose to this 2 win team with a newly signed QB then not only are we not playoff worthy. We suck and it's time to pack in the season

    Well, yeah...we'd be 7-7 with two games left and no shot at the playoffs. Of course it would be time to pack in the season.

    But more importantly, we'd have to figure out what all this means. Great first half of the season...BoSox-esqu late season collapse. Obviously the powers that be will have to look at the depth of this club. We can never compete with the Ravens or Packers of this league with this paper-thin team.

  4. "Maybe the Bengals will lose." Fan: "No they won't!"

    Somebody needs to contact Daniel Tosh and inform him there's a kid in dire need of a web redemption.

    Still, it's not as embarrassing or hilarious as the recent "Factory of Sadness" rant by a Brownie pinhead wearing a long snappers uniform.

    Yeah, that clip of the Browns fan was great. The ironic thing about this clip is that the kid is right on. If you can hear through his sobbing, he's making alot of sense. Probably more sense than most Jets fans.

    I know that Browns kid's father. He was actually shooting that video. They are season ticket holders and still never miss a home game. He's good guy.

  5. I think we finish 9-7 and, unfortunately, I think we miss the playoffs.

    That's possible I suppose, but who do you see the Bengals losing to? I assume its the Steelers, Texans and Ravens.

    I have a hard time believing that they will lose to both Pittsburgh and Houston, simply because that would mean 4 losses in 5 games. Anything is possible... but from my perspective, this team has too much of the "it" factor to go on that kind of losing skid.

    That said, I'm not convinced that 10-6 gets them in the playoffs either. They absolutely must take care of business against the good teams remaining on the schedule.

    Those would be the three I'd be most concerned about. Obviously Houston won't be as big of an issue with their QB situation now, but they still got a strong running game and a good defense.

    I wouldn't rule out an upset at this point either though. I can see a scenario where the Bengals get fired up for the Steelers and Raven sequels and let off the gas against the Cards or the Rams. While I'd think losing to either is unlikely, last week's squeaker vs. the Browns makes me realize those are not gimme games. Just think, we were a 'Brad St. Louis' away from that one being different.

  6. I said before the season that we'd be between 7 and 9 wins and I stick to that. I think we finish 9-7 and, unfortunately, I think we miss the playoffs. But you know what? Given all our circumstances this season, I'm ok with that. Would I be disappointed? Sure. But I hope our fanbase doesn't build itself up for a major letdown. The 'pundits' said we'd be the worst team in the NFL. We have a lot to build on. 9-7 or 10-6 and missing the playoffs by a hair would not be the end of our world and hope if that happens, we'll all be able to maintain perspective.
