People claim they are negative to protect themselves from disappointment and expecting too much. But negative begets negative. Try being positive instead. Even if you dont fully believe it yet. Be positive anyway. Eventually the positivity will take over and positive results will occur. What can it possibly hurt to try? If youre positive and things dont work out, then you only experienced negativity at th end. If you are negative and things dont turn out then you were negative the whole way through. Thats no way to go through life.

Of course there will be one guy out there who is so negative and say, "Here we go, they are going to blow it like always".

Then after the Ravens score again and make it 21-14, more people will jump on the negative bandwagon...but not all.

Now, the Ravens just scored once more and it 21-20 with the Ravens going for two. Collectively, Bengals fans are saying, "I KNEW IT!" with all this negative energy going out into the universe coming back to help the Ravens take the lead.

Now, grandmothers with shotguns and grandfathers with AR-15's are marching the streets looking for TKUHL and wanting blood.

Thanks a lot TKUHL, I was almost pulled into your cult but I'm not falling for it.

That's right, I said it, I think the Bengals are winning the Super Bowl this year and will continue to think that until the don't...if that makes any sense.

I actually see the Bengals O Line being top five this year. I know that sounds crazy but I do and I don't know why.

I'm delusional, right?

Maybe this franchise has just gotten to the point where they are just expected to fail. And most of the time it's true. We expect to lose prime time games, we expect to lose playoff games. Too much negativity around this franchise. Winning teams don't expect to lose, they expect to win. They have a confidence about them that we never see here. Even when we're good we have doubts and limitations.

So let's try something new. It's kinda like when you think about someone in your past and out of nowhere they call you. Is it just a coincidence that 2 people just happen to be thinking about each other at the same time or is there some other strange force at work. So here is what I would like to try, the more the better. At 1:00 Kickoff I want as many people as possible to think the exact same thing in their head. The phrase is "The Cincinnati Bengals are going to the Super Bowl this year". What can it hurt. We may just will this team to succeed. If this does nothing, no biggie. If this works, Your Welcome...if this team goes to the SB then we all played a part in something special.

Remember Kickoff " The Cincinnati Bengals are going to the Super Bowl this year".

I think you have the right mindset for what I'm wanting to try. I hope this team can shock everyone. I was telling friends this was the year we win it all, then pre season was just a kick in the nuts. But hey, we came away from pre season without major injuries and we know what needs to be fixed.
