Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop

[Tiger Teeth]

Why are you guys feeding an obvious troll job? Let him wallow in his negativity. He's "waiting for the other shoe to drop" and yet he apparently hasn't watched a game.

And should the Bengals win the super bowl that would be 9 of 53 almost 17%. Since there are 32 and all teams have a chance to start with - each time is entitled to 3.125 % chance of winning. So realistically this season this team has somewhere between 3.125% and 17% percent chance of winning the super bowl. Obviously those numbers are just chances based on eligibility and history and do not include human factors. Additionally - whatever the chances are of winning the super bowl truly are (I would love to ask Watson) , - they've been increased to some degree by virtue of the first two wins. Just a factoid - vegas started the season with a 1.25% chance of the Bengals winning the super bowl (somewhere around 80-1) and are now at 3.03% (33-1) .

FYI, after 2 games, Andy has the 7th highest passer rating in the NFL

To the OP...
Look, there's NOTHING WRONG with being "nervous," we've all been conditioned for failure as Bengals fans. HOWEVER, don't let that nervousness RUIN your enjoyment when they find success.

If history is rewritten, regardless of when, I will be at the closest party!

For that reason and that reason alone I will say no more on the subject.

I just don't think "expect the same old same old" would be his message to a true believer like yourself. Seems like he would want you to believe something more encouraging.

Reader's Digest version, NFL football is not high on His order and priorities.

I meant that to include regular season games, too... the Bengals are 2-0!

See if this holds true in late December.

Why let a couple of wins get in the way of whining and complaining. Since we don't have many reasons now lets talk about what things we can pretend will go wrong.

The saying actually is hope for the best, plan for the worst.

And being pessimistic makes sense--2-0, both games won by double digits.  Who wouldn't be negative?
