New Bengals 2005 Prediction

[The Big Orange]

3rd article saying bengals will win the nfc north or better

Dammit so much for being a sleeper when every one is expecting us now

"Defensive ends Duane Clemons and Justin Smith are also good at defending the run. "

He needs to do his home work o_O

Kaz...Oh Kaz...

If the Bengals win the NFC North they will have taken a huge step forward. I can't imagine it but it may be true...Has anyone every won two divisions at the same time? And in opposing conferences, no less. That Marvin really has his s**t together, I'd say.

I'm sorry, Kaz. I had to ride you a little. I make so many mistakes on this bloody thing, it was fun finding one in sombody else's writing.

I tease because I care.

Huh?...what?...O, my little girl just informed me that "bloody" is a swear word in England. My bad, my little, funny-speaking friends...a pints on me.

You know you didnt do anything productive in the offseason when a 5th round tackle that looks to be a career backup is a "Major Addition"

You know that you are Looking Real Hard, for ANY reason to dis the Team, when you Jump on the fact that a 5th rounder was included on a list, that he shouldn't have been on.

And by the way ...

You sure as hell know that you didn't Lose Any Production when your "Major Subtractions" are:

Kyle Richardson; who had already lost his job to Kyle Larson last year.

Dennis Weathersby; who, sad to say, never really had a job here.

Kevin Hardy; who was no longer able to do the job.

Tony Williams; who never could do the job.

"didnt do anything productive in the offseason"

Really ?

Seems to me that we added Three Blue-Chip Prospects, some Much Needed Depth at OC and an unspectacular but rather key free-agent.

Other teams brought in more new players than we did, but them again, they also lost more than we did.

On balance, with the possibly exception of the RatBirds, I think that the other teams in our division actually ended up with a net lost from this years FA market.

The Bengals, on the other hand, were able to re-sign all of their own key free agents and to sign a new guy to fill in at DT.

And while Robinson certainly isn't any superstar, at least he is an actual upgrade to the guy he is replacing.

All and all, the Bengals have done Ok for themselves over this off season ...

And it looks like they will be in good shape for next year's off season with no starters who will be unrestricted free agents.

It looks like Peter Warrick will be the only one who might command a big contract and that is only if he has a break out year this season.

Others who will be UFA next year:

Jon Kitna

Kenny Watson

Matt Schobel

Tony Stewart

Marcus Wilkins

The Bengals should be in good position to be a bigger player in next years FA market IF that is what they Choose to do ...

[Kazkal]

Jon Kitna-I'd say sign him 2more years(inless he wants to leave)

Kenny Watson-If he'll play cheap keep him

Matt Schobel-best TE we have imo if He'll pay for a good price keep him

Tony Stewart-let him go imo

Marcus Wilkins"-same as kenny

Sounds good, keep the same team that went 8-8 last season fully intact at the expense of making no additions. Im sorry for wanting to win.

Any fool can oversimplify a matter ...

Of course there is one small problem with doing so, your statement loses all validity.

[brian5562]

Didn't improve? Carson will be better and the draft albeit on paper has brought some good players. I think we all will be pleasantly suprised by Bryan Robinson.

Dont Push Me.

Just Leave Now.

[BengalszoneBilly]

Dont - Push - Me.

Just - Leave - Now.

Dont - You - Dare!

I give him a hard time, but hell, it's only because I like him! Don't ask me why.

Now as far as his Corey Dillon & New England Patriots/Cincinnati Bengals angle, it's beyond my comprehension, but so is advanced mathmatics. So...just as my grades did in that subject, I'll let it slide.

[BengalszoneBilly]

Hmmmm...OK. So...as long as I use the word "will" I can't be busted on? It's just a prediction, and will it come true, who knows? Have I got this right? OK, here we go...

DontPushMe will take his head out of Corey Dillon's butt.

Billybroome will give up Wild Turkey and become an evangelical Sunday a.m. TV preacher.

Kirkendall will become a liberal.

HairOnFire will become a Browns fan.

Big Orange will make a post without an amusing picture.

not-another will admit Caleb Miller looks like Frodo Baggins.

...more later...

Okay...I missed this earlier, but I now have a NEW funniest post I've ever read! Dave (Joisey) I bow to your wit!

NEVER have I seen sooo many members nailed to their respective crosses in my entire time at these hallowed pages called "Bengalszone!" You got me good.

All Hail Joisey!!

Happy? Good. Now run and get a nail puller would you? This smarts!

BTW I'm trying to work a deal with Jimmy Swaggart for his Sunday morning time slot, but I'm coming up short in funding for crocodile tears and Penthouse magazines. Unfortunately for my home state of Kentucky I may have to cut back my bourbon budget to facilitate the deal.

Awww forget that Jimbo! I can get the same time slot for 2/3rds the price from Oral Roberts provided I give up all guest appearances by Jesus Christ in any size over 500 feet tall. My agent Drew Rosenhaus (aka the talking snake from the garden of Eden) is currently in negotiations with his people! I honestly don't want to hold out like Jimmy did with the hooker. That was too weird. You paid the money. Stick it in already!

The only thing I hate more than Ravens fans (or players/inmates) are televangelists. They are the proffessional wrestlers of religion.

If God helps me win the lottery I'm giving Rodert Tilton a little visit and while singing opera in Portugeuse feed him his own scrotum. Actually this is a direct order from God...I'm just waiting for the funds for the tickets.

I'm with you Billy on Don't Push Me...and while he at times makes me want to collect my own farts in a jar and send them his way, he does balance out the hyperhomerism sometimes afflicting the board. We're not quite a Dynasty, yet...did you guys miss the last few games (14 years or so).

[BengalszoneBilly]

Wait no more. Give me an address to send the funds to!

And don't even get me started on TV evangelists. They make those TV personal injury lawyers look downright WHOLESOME! Does anybody else see the constant denominator in that equation? I'll leave it at that.

IMHO we NEED folks like DontPushMe around here. Otherwise we look like Bengals.com's superhomerific "Jungle Noise!" Aside from the soccer moms bengalindian sighted, who want's that?

[Rimington over Marino]

I know I want to be optimistic. I think we are capable of 12-4. This thread is full of optimism. Good things must happen everywhere.

1) Palmer must drastically cut down on INTs. He should the more comfortable he gets.

2) Is Robinson a big improvement over T Williams and Langston Moore? All were late round draft picks. When did Robinson start before?

3) I have to laugh when I read that anyone on the current Bengals is a good run stuffer. The run defense is pathetic, has been for years, and it wasn't all Hardy and Williams fault. When I see it, I will believe it.

4) 2 rookie LBs, untested and unproven in the NFL, instantly make this a great defense. Again I want to see proof.

I remember how it was turned around from the seasons before to the Super Bowl years. We do not have to improve that much. Last year if you turn around a play or 2 in the losses it is a completely better season. Just have to improve in all areas.

I still disagree with you on that 1000%. We have plenty of good discussion around here that doesn't come close to rising the to the level of homers talking about how we are going to be 16-0 without introducing a fan of some other team baiting the board like you all let DPM do. His shtik is tiresome and really f**ks with a decent board from where I sit.

It's something called player development DPM, obviously Marvin believes that this year Carson will be much better, Chad, Rudi, Madieu, etc. to make a playoff run..If you weren't so pessimistic maybe you would see it

His shtik is tiresome and really f**ks with a decent board from where I sit.

The only thing we let him do here is post in the forum within the established rules set forth by this websites administrator B24. Same as you or I do. To my knowlege he's has violated no rules here whatsoever. What do you want me to do? Hammer him because he say's things you find not to your liking?

Jeezus! He says things not to my liking in almost every single one of his posts, but I look at the name, and go "Oh, that's just DPM," and shine his ass on to the next post. Is the shtik tiresome? I'd say yeah, but I bet some folks find my endless blather just as tiring well. I mean c'mon, look at my total number of posts. Ya think the coffee has kicked in yet!?! That ain't decaf workin' there bro!

All I can say is if you really got a problem, TALK TO THE MAN! He's the boss around here. I just mod for him.

Im a fan of another team? Thats news to me.

[Kazkal]

DPM is allowed to his own veiws,

It's just like bengals,raven & steeler fans posting on the dawgtalk forum

You normally have 4 types of posters

1.)The Homer(70% of the forum)

2.)The Hater (5% of the forum normly a fan of a different team)

3.)The realistic fan(20% They wish for there team to do well their realistic about it.

4.)The lurker 5%(Someone who just reads the board but barley posts)

I am certainly with you and Billy on the not calling for anybody to leave part.

But I have to disagree with the rest of this ...

I would think that every Bengals Fan is Painfully Aware of the past 14 years or so ...

What I fail to see is, just how is it that past performance, which has no direct relationship to the present state of the team, should be accepted as a legitimate excuse for uncalled for attacks on the team now ?

Troll-Like-Shot-In-The-Dark posts, leveled against the team, do NOT balance a DAMN thing ...

People on this board have never been shy in Challenging any Homer-Like posts that pop up.

You want Balance ...

Well then, maybe people should also be just as quick to Call Out any Cheap-Shot-Nonsensical posts that pop up against the team.

IMHO we don't need folks around here being allowed to just take Free-Shots at the team.

If someone attacks the team, with a post that is pure nonsense, people should be able to challenge that post.

After all this is a Bengals board ...

I think he ment you do it like fans of other teams

[BengalszoneBilly]

The Avatar really throws 'em a curve. If you must use Dillon, how about putting his Bengals uniform back on him. I think it's still laying about 8 rows up in section 126! This might be easier Pushy:

From back in the day when even I loved him. Not quite the same as you do now, but close.

Ooops

Take a cheap shot at the Bengals oft (and still btw) injured Chris Perry, and see who's the first to come running to his defense. Pushy.

And as far as I know, trolling is not illegal in either forums or fishing. Just don't let ANYONES posts piss you off man! It's only their opinion! They're like a**h***s. Everybody's got one and they usually stink!

BTW Kaz, you're pic is better than mine!

Yawn.

His stuff is old and everyone knows it. Once in 100 posts he makes a point without reference to his male lover. I guess we all have to suffer through the other 99 to get to that one, but IMO it ain't worth it.

But, whatever. Excuse the BS all y'all want, but it is still BS, and it drags this site down far more often than not.

Letting him yammer on and on and on and on and on and on and and and on and on and on about Dillon and Perry is crap, but, whatever.

Makes the board pretty crappy at times. And it gets old sifting through the same stuff.

[jditty47]

id pass a j around with DPM. Terry says hes good people so i says hes good people. ya i disagree with prolly 20% of the stuff he says, but he is alot more realistic on alot of issues than alot of ppl think. yes sometimes hes overdramatic and goes wayyy overboard, but sometimes he makes you think the flip side of the coin and put your thoughts into perspective.
