BengalszoneBilly Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 If I had to go to work at the airport tomorrow with that record, I couldn't look another mech or pilot in the eye. I actually wouldn't have a job because you either produce or you walk. I say the Bengals will finish sub .500. Doormat is where this misguided ship is sailing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Yea my hopes are down this year as well. I have lost faith in this coaching staff, and really lost faith in this o-line. When they let there 2 best players just leave this offseason without even giving a shit I pretty much lost interest. The team leader is now gone, not really sure who they are going to count on, not sure if Andy is that vocal leader they need. There best player and leader has a bullseye on his back, if he touches a QB he might get a 10 game suspension from the league, so can't count on him this year! Seriously I don't know who or what this team is or has to offer, but my excitement level is pretty down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm still interested, but I don't think Marvin has much left in the tank. Hope he proves me wrong, but this is likely his swan song, then he's off into the sunset to write his book, "7 Habits of Moderately Effective People."

HoosierCat Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm actually a bit more optimistic than I was earlier this year. The oline has shown signs of life, and that's far and away the biggest concern on the team. The pass rush also looks to be improved. People forget, but even with all the struggles last year, the 2016 Bengals are probably a 10-win team if Nugent doesn't completely fall to pieces. I do not think this is a championship squad, unfortunately. But it looks good enough to break our hearts in the first round again. And yeah, that will be enough to get Marvin an extension. I believe the late Sam Kinison put it best: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I am hopeful about these young guys on the d-line now that's what I'm excited to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hopeful here. But it is the preseason. The o-line looks to be more competitive than what they assumed to following last season and free agency. IMO, the jury is out on the o-line until you get week after week regular season film to judge. But now the league swoops in to take the best defender of the field under one of it's new subjective rules. What a buzz kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I think the Bengals look thoroughly mediocre, but that might still get them to 9 wins against their schedule. I expect a wildly up and down season which may or may not end in 0-8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishbengal Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm looking on the positives ....if we have a winning season and a play-off appearance then great, I'll be a happy bunny. If we have a winning season and a play-off win then extra great, I'll be a very happy bunny. If we have (another) losing season or don't earn a post season game then Marvin jumps or gets pushed, which will be great and I'll be a happy bunny. HOWEVER ........I am much afeared for whom Mikey would bring to that table next.......Zampese,? Alexander? I would hope for an injection of fresh coaching blood from outside of the organisation but I'll not be holding my breath, zombies tend to run in packs !!

ArmyBengal Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm with Hoosier. More excited now than I was earlier in the off season. Not simply due to the season starting but rather what we've seen to this point. Oh, Marvin ?? Yeah I'm still in F*ck you mode with him, but whatever, what am I going to do about it ?? That's right, nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalszoneBilly Posted September 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 15 seasons, and just a barely above .500 winning percentage. No other organization would cherish such mediocrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can ANY sport organization keep a coach that punts down 20 points with 9 minutes left when you haven't gotten. Quick 3 and out all day? He did the same thing against Buffalo last year.

AMPHAR Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Just so many home opening embarrassing performances over the years. We need to honor them all at halftime. Opening PBS squashing by the Browns. A San Diego whooping with a delay of game to start the season. A last second deflection by the Broncos(the only time I puked at PBS) A Jon Kitna shovel pass to Denver LB pick 6. Just so many classics. I've attended them all, yeah! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
