And it IS the same vibe. The super confident Bengals fans, the manly smack talk from folks who probably never entered that forum on the old board.
Even the fat girl pick got posted! LOL!
I can understand where you are coming from on this .... However from a bengals fan perspective I don't this team reminds me at all of 2005. It feels like 1988. In 2005 we lived off turnovers and without them we were an average defense. Which is why we couldn't sustain it .... The team didn't know how to win then, quite different now.
If you base it off the fan boy Bengal fans then yes you have a point..... But most of those type of fans do not know any history before 2005. Been a fan my whole life, I didn't remember the 81 team because I was too young. But I do remember 88 and this team feels the same way. Strong balanced offense. And a consistent defense. 88 didn't have the insane amounts of turnovers that 2005 had that made the defense look better than they were.
That being said.... Ben will play, but we will win mainly because he won't be 100%. I think the game In cincy will be the tighter game because he will be 100%.
I still think it's a risk to play him because if you lose this week you only lose the division. But if he reinjures himself the season is over.
