Can The Bengals Beat The Patriots?

[Brownshoe]

People in this thread are acting like abuse victims. Just because we had a rough past doesn't mean anything about the future. Trends break, teams change, and this team is much different than it was in the past. The offense has 0 skilled position players who played in the 2009 playoff game. This offense has 2 offensive skilled position starters who played in the 2011 playoff game (Dalton, Green). The team has changed, and it will be a completely different outcome come January.
