Cincinnati Bengals: Next New NFL Dynasty?

[Tuberski]

Before the season started I predicted a 10-6 season for my beloved Bengals, now I'm tempted to upgrade that to 12-4 - the same as the 1988 team that went to the Superbowl...

Now even I am realistic enough to doubt they will actually go all the way this year, having to get past Indy, NE and Pittsburgh just to even get to the Superbowl - but what about next year, and the year after that, and the year after that...?

You heard it from me first.

In another thread, Mobius, dared someone to find a quote he said at any time, no one would because they said they were too lazy.

I searched, didn't find what I was looking for, but did find this dead-on balls accurate prediction from Mobius.



ACK!

Ye gods, at 1st I thought this was a new thread!

--> sports forum (still exists, doesnt it?)- or you´ll see me spam about the ´TSG Hoffenheim 1899´ here very soon. It´s enough to have half the threads be about american interior politics or some celebs no reasonable person outside the US will ever care about, but please spare us non-us-ians with football, baseball and ice-hockey threads. Same goes for any other country´s sports, as long as it does not deal with it in the greater context of some international championship tournament. None of you would like to be bothered with the pointless discussion of wether Schalke or Dortmund is the better soccer club, now would you? Just my opinion. Thx.

When this thread was created, there was no sports forum.

ACK!

Nah, I think this stays here. It isn't a sports thread, it's a "pour scorn on Mobius" thread (at his request, above).

[Grandpa Troll]

I think too much of Mobius to attack his impeccable charater, hes a really gentle soul and while his fixation for Ben Kenobi is blatantly obvious, we should embrace Mobius for his many contributions to Apolyton

Schalke are, there is no need for any discussion.

Now can we get back to poking fun at MOBIUS?

ACK!

Busted all over the shop!

Still, it is interesting that you had to go back over 3 years to find me wrong about something...

BUT!

Lets explore my disastrous prediction, shall we...?

As we were all gearing up for the Apolyton Fantasy Melonball competition in '05, I predicted my beloved Bengals would go 10-6 and was laughed off the forums by virtually everyone taking part (that was the year us Euros me and Zop did the double over all you Yanks in both the Fantasy leagues, wasn't it? )...

Then, after only three games into the season (notice date of post 1st Oct 2005), I revised my 10-6 prediction to 12-4. Which, considering the Bengals went 11-5 including losing the last two games of the season, makes my Limey-assed pick pretty uncannily crystal ball-like in its accuracy...

======================

Then, everything went tits up and came off the rails in the offseason when that evil Pittsburgh lineman ****ed Palmer's knee and nearly toasted his career.

So yes, I wonder what might have happened otherwise...

[Seedle]

F the Bengals and there one season of decency. F them to hell.

[MOBIUS]

Harsh.

============

I had a laugh at the Superbowl party here in Cardiff. Obviously I proudly wore my Bengals shirt, and some guy came up and started giving me grief about my team and how **** they were, 4-1-11 etc, etc. Fair enough I thought, but he was starting to be a dick about it, so I asked him which team he supported and he said the Redskins.

Didn't like it when I reminded him that although we were **** - at least we beat his team this year! That ****ed him.

Welsh Super Bowl parties

Super Bowl parties

We had a fantastic time in Leeds, although I probably ate too many tortilla chips.
Still got into work for 11.30 the next morning, despite going to sleep (on my mate's couch under the thinnest possible blanket, so not much sleep) at 3.30 outside of a fair few ales.

[MOBIUS]

Ours was at our local cavernously huge Walkabout where we (Cobras and South Wales Warriors and raised a ****load of money for our teams) hired out the whole bottom floor sports bar area. It has a huuuuge projector screen on wall and easily about 20 32" plasmas throughout the rest of the area.

We had easily at least 200 people there for £2 pints of Coors (oh well, it's an American night...), cheap Vodka Red Bulls and Jager Bombs, a pre game Cheerleader show (that's about 40 Hot Uni girls - the Snake Charmers), a Madden competition on PS3...

It was Da Bomb! Had an awesome night and got to catch up with loads of my ex-team mates!

So yeah, Welsh Superbowl parties!

And I managed it in for work later in the morning too.

Sounds like my league's softball post-season party, that I was unable to attend this year due to visiting my girlfriend for my birthday. I'm sure a great time was had by all, except for Cardinals fans.
