Now your getting wasted, 50 something, and invinsible.

It's funny. The Bengals have never had a ton of playoff success: all of it during my childhood and adolescence. Outside of the big wins (Buffalo in 88, and the Freezer Bowl) I don't really remember the others. Who'd they play the week before the Freezer Bowl? The Jets? How bout the divisional round in 88? The Oilers?

Again, I didn't know that their success was fleeting. I took it for granted, and don't remember a lot if it in detail. I remember going to games (was at the Buffalo regular season game in 88... Sicker than hell.), and players, and rivals... That's about it.

Most of our players weren't even born yet. The internet wasn't even invented yet to have a Message Board. Just to put things in perspective here are a few past events from 1991.

Michael Jordan had never won a championship yet.
The Cold War was still a threat. Omg
George Bush Sr. was President
Jeffrey Dahmer was an active serial killer.
Home Alone hit theaters
Ghost was the highest grossing movie.
Madonna Justify My Love #1 song
Wilson Phillips #1 single Hold On
Gas 1.14 Gallon
Hubble Telescope launched
Magic Johnson announced he was HIV Positive
AJ McCarron Not Born yet

This is pretty depressing. Feel free to add to this list.

I was working where i work now and i was on call while that game was going on. I remember stopping by my in-laws because the wife was over there and i was watching a bit of the game on TV there. 

I wasn't even born yet.

2 of 3 is correct. No longer invincible. Back hurts, rely on Cialis and will need a heart valve replaced in the next 5yrs. HOWEVER, I'm going to have them rebuild me faster and stronger. So, here's looking at another 50yrs of enjoying the great creation God provided to mankind. Beer and flesh taco!

I am going to be 45 in Nov.

My favorite albums of 91:
Metallica - The Black Album
GnR- Use Your Illusion 1/2
U2 - Actung Baby
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
Pearl Jam - Ten
Nirvana - Nevermind
RHCP - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Smashing Pumpkins - Gish
Ozzy - No More Tears

Just turned 44 here. Damn GNR and Metallica were awesome. Use you Illusion 1&2 I think Are a couple of the best albums ever. Miss those days.

The Bengals have sucked for so long it almost seems biblical. I'm pretty sure the Bengals winning a playoff game is a end of days sign in revelations.

Being 8 years old and not caring about football yet.

What? At 8yrs old, I was already using a Bengals sock!

Jan 6th 1991?

I was 9 years old (about to be 10 in February)
I was in 3rd grade
I had little interest in football and didn't watch games, but for some reason, I was upset when Rob Dibble visited my class instead of Boomer (that happened in 3rd grade)

I'm now 36 years old, with a son that is older than I was when the Bengals last won a playoff game. My son is 12.

We only have 3 other playoff wins.

1990 vs Oilers
1988 vs Seahawks
1981 vs Bills

We've never won a road playoff game, and we've only had 3 seasons out of 50 that ended with a playoff win.

I was way more into baseball as a kid. Now it's the opposite.

Kinda in the same boat as you. I loved baseball. I played it and it was my passion. I ate and slept baseball. I slept with my glove and laid in bed before sleep time and tossed a baseball up in the air hundreds of times a night. Then I got a boner, and the rest is history. I lost my virginity and then lost my passion because I had a new one we call gash! Then, I played softball. LOL! Damn women!

I had just turned 10 and I was yucking it up because they beat my cousin's favorite AFC team.

Playing in the Saudi desert.

Am I the only one that wishes they'd replace the Texans with the Oilers and force the Titans to change colors? No?

January 6, 1991? I was 20 -- three days short of turning 21 -- a college junior, and still celebrating the Reds winning the World Series the previous October. I thought Cincinnati was going to accomplish a rare "double" with baseball and football championships that year.

I had to wait three days to drink in celebration of that final Bengals playoff win. It was worth the wait. I drank the most exotic beer I knew at the time: St. Pauli Girl.

Lmao, My future girlfriend was 3. I was 17 my g/f at that time would be pregnant with my son later that year. The Bengals have never won a playoff game my sons whole life, he's 24.

I was 11. I vaguely remember it.

What a terrible decision it was to follow the Bengals. They've won exactly 3 playoff games since I've followed them

They've won 5 in their entire franchise history.

I was dominating kindergarten. Numbers, ABC's, colors, I could do it all. Stud.
