Scottishbengal Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 I'd like to throw in a No.7 - improved home record Quote
HairOnFire Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 8 - Hold Lombardi Trophy over head with one hand, freeing other hand to make obscene gesture to Roger Goodell. Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Uh, go to and win the SB? Some of you and your low standards amaze me. Mike Brown's favorite kind of fans!There's no reason this team can't get there - stop making excuses, after 17 years it gets old.If the Bears can get there last year then the Bengals' can this year. No reason to settle. Quote
CJBestInAFC Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 I would put up there sweep the divisional games. I think the Bengals can beat the Steelers, Browns, and the Ravens two times this season. Quote

Walrus Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Be consistent and win!No misconduct issues, esp those precipitating suspensions. Quote

No reason to settle.Get over yourself.It can be argued that the Bengals are capable of winning it all, but the same can be said for about ten other teams. Everything has to fall into place perfectly for a team to do that regardless of talent. I refuse to demand that players stay healthy and officials side with Cincinnati more often than not when those sorts of things are completely out of the team's control. Quote

Well, I wouldn't want to be accused of setting my sights too low... (Did I mention that, after winning the Super Bowl next February -- only the first of five or six consecutive Lombardis, of course -- I also expect the Bengals to establish a democratic government in Iraq during the '08 offseason...?)

I refuse to demand that players stay healthy and officials side with Cincinnati more often than not when those sorts of things are completely out of the team's control.If they're capable, then why wouldn't it be a goal? I see "avoid injuries" and "stay out of the pokey" type comments, but, injuries happen to every team and so do bad calls - as Marvin said expand the room for error and you don't worry about losing to a crap team like Tampa because of one bad call. In other words, beat the teams you should beat, and beat them well.To have a top 5 QB and have one winning season so far with him as a starter, to me, is inexcusable. Those types don't come around very often, the Bengals' should be in the playoffs just about every year, if not every year, he is healthy and playing....at least.I'm tired of feeling sorry for the Bengals. Their only goal should be to win a SB at this point - no rebuilding needed. Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 Go to the palyoffs and get at least 1 win.Fight for the division title.RUDI run for 1500 yards.An improved Defense top 20 at least. Quote
Stripes Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 If they're capable, then why wouldn't it be a goal?From the team's perspective, that should be a goal every season regardless of circumstance. As a fan, I can hope to see them go that far, but when I don't think they're quite that good yet I will set my sites a bit lower and look for forward progress. Quote
