HoosierCat Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 For those looking for omens of success, I offer this bit of trivia: the Bengals are entering a two-year period in which, historically, they've performed well.Since 1968, in years ending with a 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, or 0, the Bengals have recorded at least one season with 4 or fewer wins. For example, in 1969, they won 4 games. In 1979, they won 4 games. In 1989, they won 8, and in 1999, won 4. Clearly, years ending in 9 haven't been kind to Cincy.However, the worst they've done in a year ending with 5 is 7 wins. 1975, 11 (lost to Oakland in the first round). 1985 and 1995, 7. In years ending with 6 -- and only in years ending with 6 -- the Bengals have never had a losing record! Twice, in 1976 and 1986, they won 10 games...and both times missed the playoffs. In 1996 came the 8-8 high point of the Blake years.So if history is any guide, our time is now. Marvin & Co. need to make the most of it. :player: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalboomer7 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Damn Joisey, you got too much time in your hands. Your not out of work right now, are you (If you are, sorry for the really really bad joke!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GROIIIDayton Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 You seriously need to get a life. I like the bengals a lot, but damn it sounds like you jerk off too game film. I hope hope in the future you refrain from posting pointless facts that mean absolutely nothing. If this is the stat that makes you believe the Bengals will have a good you have more problems than I have time to get into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a good what? Season, you mean? As a matter of fact, I happen to be less rosy about their chances then most around here.posting pointless factsPointless? It doesn't seem odd to you that the Bengals appear to be stuck in a regular 10-year cycle over nearly 40 years of team history? Did it occur to you that their might be parallels between those other 5 and 6 years and now? (There are.) In short, that there's an actual reason this happens...and may well be happening again? (There is.)But you're a Bengal fan. I'm sure you can figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not-another Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 It's not having too much time on your hands, just that you have a good memory. I'm gonna have too remember this, yep. Joisey is cool. Can I have your babys, Joisey? I have good child bearing hips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, after posting over 3000 times, he has hit on everthing worth talking about. He's just killing time until the season starts. Hopefully he didn't waste your time or anything. After all we are on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalPappaw Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 He's just killing time until the season starts. I can understanding the stress of waiting!!! AND, after all these years of losing, I, too, am grasping for straws that might give me hope!!Now, while I may have a "lucky towel", when I play golf (-- it saves me 2-3 strokes per round), I've never tried to keep track of the dates to see if I might be scoring better on "even" numbered days or "odd". I think the Bengals will be in the same situation as my golf game -- I do better when I play better!! SO WILL THEY!!!BTW Joisey I hope your analysis is CORRECT -- regardless how you got there!!

The Big Orange Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Hows this for numerology...our first round pick from '03 carson Palmer, and 'o4 Chris Perry share the same birthday. So do Warrick and Pollack. And though CJ is called 7-11, that is Big Willie's birthday. I happen to share a birthday with the Bengals biggest star Beldon Johnson????Only took me 3 hours to figure this stuff out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted May 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 It's not having too much time on your hands, just that you have a good memory. Actually, it's just a matter of having three or four minutes to kill waiting for someone to call into a conference call and clicking on a single link ( http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/cinindex.htm ). Can I have your babys, Joisey?I'm good on that score, but thanks anyhow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
