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.

Just don't believe the folks who's opinions actually matter are not "all in" and are not waiting until someone says their window is open and its time to try lol.  

It was only a few weeks back many fans wanted Zac fired immediately. Betting he would love to make folks eat those words by becoming (I believe) the 2nd youngest coach to ever hoist the Lombardi Trophy into the air. 

Do not believe for one second that the coaches and players are taking this season for granted. Even if it took Harbaugh foolishly going for two point conversions twice to help Bengals get there. 

Still does not change the fact that this season was magical that could have a very magical ending. 

But if not, you're correct that the bengals are young and this is only the first year of the open window. 

Seize the Dey !
