Yeah, I'm going there...

Sorry, I'm not trying to be negative. It's just the reality of the situation IMO. I have absolutely no faith in Marv to get us anywhere past the wild card round. It's been 15 years, and there's very little evidence he's capable of going on a championship run (and there's plenty of evidence to the contrary). Hiring Marvin back last January was unforgivable and unforgettable. Yes, the hiring of Van Pelt and Pollack were nice and all, as was the signings of Cordy Glenn and letting Bodine walk to the Bills. But we can't forget that Marv is still the captain of this ship. Things may be better, but I doubt they will change. 

I can't disagree with anything you've said here. Hell, I've been saying pretty much the same thing for years now. 

While this the most confident I've been in a Bengals team since '05, I can completely understand why others wouldn't share my optimism.

I shared many of the reasons for that confidence in my OP, but basically, things just have a different feel right now, IMO. I think you can see and hear it from the staff and players as well. It feels like everyone is incredibly hungry this year. Of course, that has to actually translate to the field and especially big game and pressure situations for it to mean anything.
