Because I see so many people talking about how our top skill players are 25 or younger. 

Although everyone wants to win this year I believe a lot of peopl don't see any urgency because they think we will have plenty of more chances over the next few years.  I certainly hope we will be good for years to come.  I believe we SHOULD be good for year to come.  But NFL history has shown it may not happen.  Look what happened to Greg Cook and Ickey Woods.  Look at all the young talent we had on the '05 team, Palmer (25), Ocho (27), Rudi (25), Levi Jones (25), Eric Steinbach (25), Justin Smith (25), Robert Geathers (22), Odell Thurman (22), Chris Henry (22), David Pollack (23), Madieu Williams (24).

Too many people are taking this season for granted.  It may be a while before we have this good of a chance again.

This is a contrived view and not prevalent throughout the forum. Go look at all the threads and you will see plenty of people recognizing this a healthy, confident, and hot team ready to make a run in the playoffs with the goal of winning a Super Bowl this year. I recognize the moment is now to win it all. It's why many posters talk about Burrow's rookie contract as a window to win it all similar to the Mahomes-lead Chiefs. It's why many posters, similar to you, are talking about how the team is getting hot at the right time and that the roster is healthy. Seek them out on the board, as you're capable of doing, and you will find them.

Your point about a sense of urgency and winning it all now is solid, but suggesting Bengals Board posters are taking it for granted and not recognizing the immediacy of the moment is click-bait thinking that stifles good Bengals conversation.
