I have been all over the place when it comes to football forums, including numerous Bengals forums. One characteristic they all seem to share is that everyone's IQ plummets by 50 points when they are posting in a game day thread. That is a universal law of forum fanhood.
So lean into it folks. That's your space to be an absolute clown. Declare the game over after one incompletion. Predict a Super Bowl berth after the defense registers a single first quarter sack. Go crazy.
Just keep it in that thread alone. The real problems arise when hysteria spams out of the game day thread and becomes 37 unique new threads in the broader forum space where people take every single tiny thought entering their brains and start an entire thread for each of them.
