I have never met a really cool hot girl. They are either really hot, or just cool. The combination would be a heart breaker.

It will be nice getting an early pick in this draft.

But would not hurt my feelings if we got the 32nd draft pick either. 

I'm actually loving it! No more pressure and letdown from the first week. This is the first playoffs I've been able to genuinely enjoy in years.

Under our current GM/Owner we've picked in the top ten in the draft 14X. We've picked in the top five 8X, and we've had the number 1 pick 3X in his 25 year reign. The theory that a high draft pick is gonna turn things around is a pipe dream with this team !

Until the focus of this owner changes to winning, and he starts making moves towards that end we could have the top 5 picks in the draft and it won't mean a thing.

At some point you know the end of the relationship will end and when it does it wont hurt as bad.

Or dating a really hot girl who won't come right out and tell  you the fact that she has syphilis, crabs and aids, but it's getting better and she's only just a little pregnant, but it's getting better.  So she tells you she's committed to only having sex with a condom, but has developed a ocd condition about poking needles into things..  She tells you all this just as you get your pants off.  
Meanwhile back at the postatorium....what was the question?

A John Deere text?  Did that take place in a Farmersonly.com commercial?

WTF is a John Deer text? Did she tell you she thought your tractor was sexy and really turned her on?

The team we have now is much better than the other teams that had high draft picks. We don't need someone to come in and be the face of our franchise from pick 9, just someone who can play ball. Big difference. This team is several good/lucky decisions from being a SB contender, those other ones were several years of good/lucky decisions from being a contender

Cool and hot? That would describe Mrs. Fan_in_Kettering.....

Is that her real name? Mrs. Fan_ in_ Kettering  ..?
There must be a misspelling in there.. It's probably a - instead of a  _
You really need to watch those hyphens vs underscores. It makes all the difference.

Yes, I know that, but what I meant was "recent" drafting. The Bengals were slotted in the 21-24 range seven times since the 2006 draft (counting 2012 because Bengals traded down from 21 to 27 to get Zeitler and Pick 17 was the Raiders' pick via Palmer trade).

Constantly making the playoffs and losing in the first round gets old, just like constantly picking in the top 10 would get old. Just like seeing the same 3-4 teams from the AFC always in the Super Bowl gets old. Stagnation is boring, gimme some variety.

Does it really?

Is being embarrassed all season and being able to enjoy good playoff football really worse than playing mediocre, squeezing into a wildcard spot and then being annihilated by whatever team we face. Funny thing is most times the team that takes our manhood isn't even a better team and they proceed to get destroyed the very next week. Lol


We could lose to Ohio State in the playoffs


That's how bad this team is and will forever be

Sad but it's the truth. This has been a good playoffs. Usually when Bengals lose I stop watching. Very slowly iv realized that I haven't seen what amazing playoff football looks like in the last 10 years because I'm such a sore loser.

Not anymore. I'm not letting this shitty team kill my fun.

NFL ratings show this as well. NFL ratings have been dropping for years because of thing just like Pitt VS NE in the AFC game. Those 2 teams draw a lot of bandwagon love but people are sick and tired of seeing them
