I'm a die-hard Cincinnati Bengals fan (no matter how brutal that has been over the past 20 years lol). I'm thrilled to see that we finally have a QB-WR duo in Dalton and Green. This year we're bringing in Green-Ellis at the RB spot and I'm expecting big things from him. This team was so young last year, and it appears that Dalton will finally have some help in the running game, which will help him have more time in the aerial-attack. Also, the offensive line is looking better than last year (even though it didn't need a ton of improvement).
Unfortunately, the defense will have to continue to carry this young club for yet another season. There were only two games last year where the Bengals were able to score at least 30 points (compared to Green Bay's 11 games of scoring at least 30 points). So that should give you some kind of idea of where the talented (but young) Bengals offense is at this point. I like that we have some running-game help now, but I don't see Cincy scoring at least 30 points more than five or six times this year. My prediction is that Cincy comes in second in the AFC North (behind Baltimore), finishes with a 10-6 record, makes the playoffs as a Wildcard, and wins one playoff game before being knocked out. |

I am a dolphins fan have been ever since the superbowl loss to the 49ers. Luckily i managed to go to the American Bowl a few years later and saw my team play. Presumably that was the year that Dave Archer did a QB bootleg into the endzone to beat the 49ers? I was right by the corner where he went in. . . still remember that day - great fun. |

Always been a Vikings fan, I really can't remember why. Must have a fetish for punishment.
Never really hated any team until the Saints fiasco came out. Can't stand them now and will be actively supporting whoever they are facing. I have a particular dislike for the Steelers, due to the few fans I've met being quite up themselves. Obviously not all Steelers are like that, but they weren't great ambassadors for the club. Tebowtime in the playoffs made my year! |

I support the mighty bestskins because they're the best team on the planet.
I dislike all of the other teams because they're not the mighty bestskins. |

You notice what made the Redskins better was the draft pick not the FA's. When they stop acting like the Yankees and try to buy a trophy then they will start becoming more successful. In the NFL you can't operate a team successfully by just throwing money at players. It seems painfully obvious to everyone but Snyder.

That said, putting aside Snyder's ridiculous FA transactions, we havent had much luck in recent years either. The loss of Sean Taylor cannot be underestimated - this guy would have ended up alongside true greats (not just Redskin greats, but NFL greats) like Darrell Green, Art Monk and Dexter Manley - we have also suffered some crippling injuries in key positions for us - even this season we've lost Brian Orakpo for the season - ok, i know every team can claim this to some extent, but in every one of the last few seasons, we've had a plethora of big injuries to key players thats hampered us. Also, it cant be denied that although the signing of RGIII was imperative, our draft picks over recent years have been pretty awful. Kerrigan last year was a fine signing, and i do love Orakpo, but Trent Williams has failed to live up to hype IMO and has had big off field issues, the 2008 class was dismal - going back further than that and you see odd individuals who have shone for the maroon and gold - but none who have stood out. But we are on the front foot now. 2-3 not a great start for saying we havent faced a divisional rival yet - but we could have as easily been 4-1 - we could have as easily been 1-4....! Just a sign of things to come at Fedex Field IMO - but at least we are worth watching these days - the last few seasons have been absolutely dreadful - wins against divisional rivals excepted! |
