Wire to wire! (?)

[GreenDragon]

Anyone else think the Bengals could go Wire to Wire atop the AFCN?

[corpjet]

just like the 90 Reds, we can only dream can't we????

It's a small sample size to be sure, but the Bengals do seem to be the most complete team in the division. I think that they can do it...  Will they?

If ever there was a time to do it, this is it.

I think that there's a better chance that a killer goldfish will swallow the city whole, but you never know. Hell, I'd love to see them win 16 games and run the table all the way to the super bowl, but my money's on the goldfish.

we held the divisional lead for most of last year.

COULD? Certainly.  WILL? I will randomly say 20% chance.

WIN THE AFCN? More likely than anyone else.

This is some goldfish.

Just hoping they can at least be within striking distance of the division crown down the stretch. Maybe clinch the division with win over Baltimore January 3.

Sorry can't think past the home opener

[UDWhoDey]

Yes, as long as being tied for first along the way counts as wire-to-wire ;-)

Yeah, it is too early for me. We looked great against the Oakland Raiders...

Lets see about the San Diego Chargers...

It does in my book.

I think if they can make it to week 4 without a loss, they could do it.  I won't count out Pittsburgh or Baltimore though....they could easily go on a streak and leap-frog the Bengals if they have a bad stretch.

Then sign me up!  I just remember after week-3 last year when we were arguably the best team in the NFL.  Oh the life of a Bengal fan.

Who Dey!

If we stay healthy i doubt it. But those guys are always tough as hell and i am sure will be again.

They did both play the Pats and the Broncos and were both in the game and we played the Raiders.

Hard to call it right now, but i love the way our Offense has so many weapons with Eifert now here.

Those 2 teams don't have a Tyler Eifert on theirs.

Well that would be one for the ages.

[EatonFan]

That would be awesome and a tough accomplishment -- especially in our division. We had all four teams 3 games over .500 last year.

if we were in 1st when the other team tied us we are still in 1st lol....

Plus then you can factor out tie breakers.

Yes, but you and I both know that there is a completely different feeling with being tied for first place than there is with having it to yourself.  I would think that a lot of people would question whether or not that still constituted "wire-to-wire".
