I just thought this might be fun, and as badly as I want this win....
I will:
Meet the team at the airport to celebrate the win and being tied for first in the AFC North.
Not touch alcohol until they lose again.
Not eat potato chips until they lose again.
Do 100 pushups every day until they lose again.
Anyone care to join in?

Airport? You better check the bus station. Greyhound is cheaper than flying.

When they win I will do one big pushdown on my couch, eat a ton of chips and have a dozen beers. Why would I let a victory spoil a perfect evening?
To be fair, if they lose I'll do pretty much the same things.

How about making a real sacrifice for a win?

This I would love to see from some of the Negative Nancys around here....with an expiration date of the next loss. Win this, and they could go on a run.

If the Bengals win, I’ll give props where it is due. If they struggled in certain areas, I’ll likely point that out. If they win, I’ll rewatch the game on nfl.com. If they win, I’ll be more optimistic about the season. If they lose, I’ll be more pessimistic.
How’s that for a ‘realist’ response. Just trying to be honest here. I’ll throw in 100 push-ups, what the hell.

If the Bengals win today I will enjoy the rest of my day, likely troll a few Steeler fan friends on FB, and go to work with a little extra pep in my step tomorrow.

If they win I MIGHT do the dishes early before the sink it completely filled with dishes instead of partially filled..

These are pretty good. My best bud is coming up from NKY. We are doing everything the same as the last time they won in pitt (I think) the war of 18-12? We are hitting Smashburger for lunch and my dad will be joining us at my house after.
I might do my obnoxious "March" like a band leader (while blaring the Bengal Growl Fight Song) that is normally reserved for 9AM game day and additional time down my dirveway should they pull out a win.
C'mon, Bengals. You can do this.

I might actually completely quit smoking.. I've already reduced the amount I smoke quite drastically from a pack and a half a day down to about 3-4 cigarettes a day and none after I get home from working, usually around 3-4pm.. It's so drastic to me that I actually remember why I started in the first place almost 50 years ago..47 years..the nicotine buzz.. I drove to the gas station to get a pack, lit one up and had to put it out because the buzz was so intense I was afraid I would crash.. I can still feel that buzz from half hour ago.. The trigger for me today is my neighbor burning leaves in his backyard..

You win...That would be awesome, Gramps. I am not a smoker, but I understand the mechanism of action behind cigarettes, and it is such a fast dopamine receptor stimulant. Very hard to kick them.
My mom quit smoking at my final high school National Championships (for Swimming) and said that was her gift to me. One of the greatest moments of my life. And at 79 years old, she is doing great, has seen her grandchildren grow, and is very healthy.
