BengalBax Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 I hope the bengals win guys, but unlike some of you guys I don't let my love of this team cloud logic. Last year I would have told you we were a good team. This year, I can tell you we are not. Hopefully that makes sense to some of you. Now if you hate me for that, the national media for predicting the Bengals to be average at best, and hate everyone else who has a opinion different than yours then so be it. That's called narrow-minded, kids. This is a Bengals board, a place to talk Bengals football. Nowhere does it say to build up this team but never talk of their shortcomings. I said it once, I will say it again. We are a bad team this year. Sorry I don't go along with the rest of you cronies by saying we are a 11-5 team (Dear God). Now if next year we make improvements, get talent, avoid injuries, fire our defensive coordinator among other things, I will be right here dreaming of a Super Bowl with you guys. Until then, here is a toast to reality. Case so very closed. Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Sorry I don't go along with the rest of you cronies by saying we are a 11-5 team (Dear God).http://forums.bengalszone.com/index.php?showtopic=2703&st=20The average of board predictions (not counting your 7-9) was 9 wins. I've got a suggestion for you, Bax: go take your act here: www.footballhuddles.comI haven't posted there in more than a year but I check in from time to time, and it's still dominated by fans just like you. I'm sure you'll feel right at home. Quote
BengalBobNC Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Last year I would have told you we were a good team. This year, I can tell you we are not.Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I will not hold yours against you. However, my opinion is we are not that bad. After just one game, our offense and special teams looked good. I would like to see a more effective ground game (which I think we will Sunday night). I would most definitely like to see serious improvement in the defense, again something I think we will see Sunday night.The Jets ran all over us and won by...seven points. And didn't lock the game up until their final drive. Not too bad. If the defense even played just a decent game we would have won.If the defense never comes around this year, then yes, we will most likely have a losing season. But I think even if that happens that sets us up for a big season next year. Palmer will have gotten the experience he needs, ditto for our defensive rookies, and Coach Lewis will pick up more help. He took 6 defensive players in this years draft. Next years draft I can see a shutdown corner or a monster defensive lineman getting picked.I am firmly placed in reality: It has been just one game. Time will tell about this year.Nowhere does it say to build up this team but never talk of their shortcomings.I think you missed a few threads recently as we all talked about the "shortcomings". Case so very closed.Not even close. Shall we at least get to the halfway point of the season before slamming the door shut?We will win Sunday night. Quote
Kirkendall Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Man, I'm hard on this team -- I call it constructive critisism -- as well, but this guy puts me to shame.. Quote
kybengalsfan Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Yeah, BengalBax is very defensive about his positions. Kinda sounds like my wife Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 The Bengals can be as good as anyone in the league if they learn how to play defense. Quote
BengalBax Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Posted September 17, 2004 I will check back on this thread in about week 5...... Quote
jbengals1 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 WTF - are you a fair weather fan or did you just jump on the ship end of last year ??? saying the Bengals are a bad team is a slap in my face & im sure most of the other posters here, yes we lost the opening game but so did 25+ other teams and we didn't loose that bad...In years before the jets game would have been a blowout and the Bengals would have gave up by the 3rd quarter but these guys are still fighting up to the last second of the game, so until the fat lady sings (your boyfriend comes to mind ) please refrain from displaying your ignorance.the best part of your post is your negativity wont be around here for 5 weeks !!! Quote
BengalBobNC Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 so until the fat lady sings (your girlfriend/wife comes to mind)I'd like to suggest we leave the wives/girlfriends out of stuff like this. That is not needed here, even with bengalbax's bad posts. Quote
jbengals1 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 BengalBobNC i changed it but thats the best im going to do !!! Quote
jditty47 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 im sorry but if u think we are gonna win 7 games, what 7 do you think we will win if i may ask? if we are gonna lose to the lowly fins who the f**k do you think we can beat?????? Quote
Bobcat Bengal Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 You (bengalbax) should go to BengalsInsider and hook up with this guy call Tibor75....he's on the same page as you pessimist wise....Like I said before your prediction of the Jets game, you might as well not bother to watch if you already know we'll get clobbered....unless you like watching car wrecks I'm almost starting to miss Barbarian about now...

BengalBobNC Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 You (bengalbax) should go to BengalsInsider and hook up with this guy call Tibor75....he's on the same page as you pessimist wise....That is the board I used to go to before I found Bengalszone. And tibor is a pain in the butt.I like it here much, much better! Quote

After just one game???Man, you guys give up too easy!!!And after all this week, I've been telling people that I think "The Bungles are going to beat some people this year".Sure, the RUN DEFENSE gave up 200+ to old-ass Martin--but hey--there ARE some positives that I saw (for once).What about CJ's performance??? 99 yards, 1 TD??? That's pretty damned good...Carson looked damned good for his 1st Reg. Season Game, didn't he??? Sure, he f**ked up a couple of times--but not bad for his 1st outing.Come'on man--lighten up here. Quote
BengalByTheBay Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Whatever, we can all have our opinions. But what I don't get is for you to say that last year's team was good and this year's team is bad. How can you make that call right now - after week 1. Short memory man. Last year we lost to Denver AT HOME by a score of 30 - 10. Remember Kitna's TD to Bronco's LB?? This year we lost by 7 on the road in Palmer's first start as a pro. Come on! Either extreme is bad, but your claim that everybody on this board thinks we're going 11 - 5 and going to the SB is totally lame and plain wrong. Quote
kybengalsfan Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 We will all be happy, me thinks, with a 9-7 record. Might make playoffs, might not. I strongly feel we will reach this winning season, this year. Our offense has to be in the top ten percent in the NFL, and the D will improve (I hope).Just remember, two words: Who Dey! Quote
Bobcat Bengal Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 What pessimism!!! After just one game???What about CJ's performance??? 99 yards, 1 TD??? That's pretty damned good...Carson looked damned good for his 1st Reg. Season Game, didn't he??? Sure, he f**ked up a couple of times--but not bad for his 1st outing.Come'on man--lighten up here. That's all that needs to be said...If he's telling you to lighten up....damn....you know you're like Eeyore or Grumpy, or that Gray shaded ass Care Bear (don't ass me how I know that) Quote

But I still wouldn't be surprised to find out he's a browns troll stiring the pot. Quote
