oldschooler Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I expect them to win the division. But in order for my expectations to be valid, I must buy seasons tickets and travel 600 miles each way to go to games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrlnutz Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I think 8 wins would mean I had a lot if fun this year watching the team, certainly more than last year. And u can sign me up for yearly fun increases even if it means we don't win a playoff game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stated 8 wins. 8 fucking wins and that's optimistic? What is wrong with you? That's a pessimistic viewpoint anywhere else. [/quote] In Cleveland?

JC Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 8 games would mean 4 more happy Sundays than I had last year. I hope we do win at least 8 games. I feel like that's a bit too optimistic, but we have replaced losses and we have grabbed some pieces too. I hope we grab a few more FA's. Another backer, a veteran pass rusher, Ced, and a fullback and I'd totally be down with at least 8 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think to help take pressure off Dalton, they need to get a bruiser to block for whatever back is back there. Pressley could do that, but he is young. We need results now. I'd love to see them go all out for Le'Ron. He is a triple threat. He can catch, run, and he's basically an O-lineman running at you. Vontae Leach just propelled Arian Foster to a nasty season. Essentially, I'm nitpicking, because it isn't a huge issue. But a awesome fullback can go a long way and the decline in the run game last year could somewhat be pointed at the lack of one altogether.

Making predictions today is simply uneducated guessing. 8 wins would be a good season considering our EPIC offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sois Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 If I could find a casino stupid enough to put the O/U at 8 wins, I would rush to the bank, withdraw all of my savings and take the under. Look, I hope the Bengals win every single game, and every year my BS prediction is always 16-0 (why not?), but if we are talking realistic, then I would say 5 wins would be a sucessful season.

joshua Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 If this team wins more than 4 games I'll be super surprised. Who's the most experienced receiver we have? Caldwell? I'll take whatever the Bengals throw at me and watch every game, but my expectations aren't all that high. Maybe in 4 years the current cast (if they can keep everyone from leaving in free agency the next 4 years) will be able to compete..for the division...maybe. I'm not a big fan of rebuilding under a coach who's been here nearly a decade and hasn't won a playoff game. I know they're saying this isn't a rebuilding year...but I'm not stupid enough to believe the bullshit. If you want to rebuild then get another coach in here and let him choose his guys. Marvin hasn't done a god damn thing in Cincinnati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyrid Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I think it will be a fun team to watch with the youth and a bunch of guys who seem to have a great attitude. I'm just hoping to see signs that Andy is the guy, AJ is going to be a stud and that some young guys emerge on defense. If those things happen, losses aren't going to ruin my day. If those things happen, it won't matter much to be if we win 2 games, 5 games, or 8 games. If you don't make the playoffs, who really gives a shit the specific W/L number? But if people really think this team is going to be good and win the division and/or make the playoffs, they're just not living in the real world. There's being a homer and supporting your team and then there's also talking out of your ass and making a fool of yourself.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
