I'm with you, Truck.
I'll wear any of those loving terms of endearment, 'hawk. If you can't see the difference between typical silly season bluster, with a side of hope-springs-eternal, and what the Bengal players are DOING and SAYING, then you're looking at the wrong group. The players are juiced beyond anything we've ever seen here. And the team is currently made up of pretty much ZERO Bengals of old. So, go ahead and bring that tired, lazy, trite "it's-the-Bengals" pessimism if you want, but keep your baking pan clean because a Humble Pie with Crow is in your future. Just be man enough to admit it when you see it. (As will I should I be "mistaken.")
My only caveat is catastrophic injuries. Another round of those and it's another train wreck. But no one can foresee that and it wouldn't be an "I told you so" opportunity.
