[quote name='T-Dub' timestamp='1287099571' post='930962'] Not to single you out or anything - on the contrary really - because the prevalence of this attitude I think has as much to do with the team's fortunes as anything else. When everyone expects them to fail, how can everyone act so disappointed when they do? [/quote] I didn't expect them to fail. And from what I gather in this thread not many on here did either. Report

A few games could've been loses last year but we ended up pulling it out. We even had a hard time putting bad teams away. we are no way close to being a playoff team. We can't beat the Brown nor the Bucs, you gotta be kidding me. Being from NY, if this was the JETS or the GIANTS, you would've seen some firing going on around here a long time ago. [/quote] The Bengals in '05 had an easy schedule also. They were 4-0 agaist weak NFC teams and finished at 11-5 . The results in '06 were what we are seeing again. I think '06 they went 7-9 or 8-8 against a tougher schedule . Looks like another 6-8 game win season. I hope I'm wrong about that . Report
