I think the Bengals will win some games again this year and go to the playoffs again, but I also thought that in 2006 and 2010, but those previous years turned out to just be flashes in the pan.
That is it, exactly. Some of our fans act like we're coming off of some 20 year Patriots like dynasty of success or something, when in reality, other than last year, all we've really had to get happy about over the past 30+ years is a little 5 year run near the top of mediocrity back in Marvin Lewis' peak years.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
