However I don't follow, analyze, and dissect as much as some of you here, so refresh my memory on this.
How did this team go from 10-6, winning the division, and sweeping Pittsburgh in 2009, from 4-12 in 2010 after picking up Owens??
Could be on the verge of a similar repeat.
Was it injuries? I just can't remember.
Those teams had Ocho who wanted to be traded, demanded to be traded after 2007 season and Carson who demanded to be traded after 2010 season. Keeping Ocho who wanted to be traded was not good on Mike Browns part. Before 2008, I would have got him out of here as he put the team down every day. Why would you want players that don't want to be here ?....Picking up Owens to go with Ocho was so over rated. Both had seen there better days and were at the end. It was the Over The Hill Gang Rides Again. The best thing this team did was say good bye to TO, Ocho and trade Carson to Oakland. Best move they ever made.
This team is not going to win only 4 games. This team since 2011 on is about TEAM and about NO QUIT...When this team was 3-5 in 2012 and went on to the play-offs, that is what the new Bengals do....Bengals are 2-3 and they may go to 2-4, but like 2012, I look for this team to have NO QUIT and come back from this. I really do. The start of the schedule is the hardest for some reason this year, Injuries are holding us back also....I look for the Bengals to at least win 8 or 9 games, but hopefully get rolling and win 10 and get back in the play-offs. 2012 showed me these Bengals have NO QUIT. .....Oh, people will give up on them as they did in 2012. I didn't in 2012 and I won't in 2016. Wins are coming, the cards are going to start falling our way. ......IF Bengals win at New England, THAT WOULD BE HUGE....Hey, Any Given Sunday...
