fredtoast Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 [quote name='Patmo' post='589288' date='Nov 8 2007, 02:47 PM']One winning season in the last 19 years . There's your answer.It's the whole Bengal structure.The Brown family doesn't know how to run an NFL franchise.[/quote] But over the previous 4 seasons we won a division title and had the 12th best record in the league. Let go of the 90's. They are gone. This is a different team. This is a team that lost more starters for more games than any team in the league last year; played the 2nd toughest shedule in the entire league; and still just missed the playoffs because of a couple of fluke plays by our kicking team.

MrOrange1219 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 [quote name='GoBengals' post='589392' date='Nov 8 2007, 04:08 PM']that doesnt REALLY make sense... but i guess [i]all things considered[/i]... it was decent... [/quote] Sure it makes sense. Allow me to explain: I mentioned that calling someone "retarded" was a personal attack. You said that you are "offended" that I would consider it an attack, then proceeded to imply that "mentally disabled" people would find it offensive (by sarcastically saying they would appreciate the negativity). Therefore, if you admit to being offended by the same thing that would offend a "mentally disabled" person, it could be said that you are admitting to being "mentally disabled" yourself, or at least you are admitting to share similar qualities of social awareness and perception with the previously mentioned "mentally disabled".

fredtoast Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I won't personally attack Bengal 8580, but I will make a general statement. Anyone who thinks that injuries don't effect a teams performance is retarded. Anyone who disagrees with me just go to Vegas and talk to the people who make a living from football betting. Tell them to ignore the injury reports when setting the line or making a bet. Then come back and tell me their reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why are we talking about last season to make ourselves feel better? All I know is 2-6. And last season wasn't so great when you look at the 3 losses to end it.

The Patriots sucked in the early 90's. That has nothing to do with how they play now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could've sworn the tv stations told me otherwise in the week before the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, we were 3-0, but then we had all those arrests following it, and the team fell apart and never really recovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again,you are right about making the playoffs in 2005.However you neglect to mention that the '05 schedule was soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
