Bengals fans, enjoy the day today. You are not winning the Super Bowl. There is no possible (or logical) way.

How bad did the Vikings get whooped and how bad did they look yesterday?
BAD
Yes, it's a pretty silly column. The Bengals season attendance record is a little more than a half million. They've set records the last two years. Not bad. But the Reds have drawn more than that for a season since 1944.Originally Posted by ochre
And the problems he cites are not about the baseballness of the town, but about the baseballness of baseball, and the weaknesses of the Reds.
No possible (or logical) way?
1. Top five offense
2. Much improved overall defense who leads the league in takeaways.
3. Above average special teams.
4. Great coaching staff.
They may not go all the way, but to say they have no logical chance just isn't true.
As for the Bengals owning this town, I'm not sure. For the team to draw over 20,000 for a night game during the week in September when the team is out of the race by 104 games and the team ERA is something like 74.92 I think that says something about Reds fans. They want so bad for thier team to win. They know they probably won't, but they still come out to see them. Just imagine the attendance if they can put together a playoff run.
I'm 20 years old and wouldn't think of rooting for another team, even if they went 50-112 next year. I don't like the perception that kids only root for "good" teams.

The Vikings aren't going to win 5 games. There is no possible (or logical) way.Originally Posted by kheidg-
Also, the Bengals are 4-0, but the Pats are 2-2.
Talk about silly. Don't you think the fact that the Reds play 73 more home games has a *little* something to do with that?Originally Posted by BCubb2003
3 years running the Reds team ERA was above 5.00Originally Posted by kheidg-
Recent history suggests that that's way more illogical than a winning season and a Super Bowl appearance in Gladiator Ball.

That's my point. You can't compare the two. I wonder if the Bengals could draw 50,000 on a Tuesday in December, game 127.Originally Posted by johngalt

4-0 does not mean you will win the Super Bowl. There are way better teams in the AFC. Try Pittsburgh, New England, San Diego, and Indy.Originally Posted by smith288
Look at who the Bengals have beaten. All likely non-playoff teams (besides maybe Chicago or Minn being that the North is the worst division in football.
@ Cleveland 27-13 - (Cleveland is horrible)
Minnesota 47-8 (Impressive win but Minnesota isn't much better than Cleveland)
Chicago 24-7 (Chicago has a good defense, but they do not have a good team)
Houston 16-10 (Beating Houston 16-10 is just barely skating by one of the worst teams in the league)
The teams the Bengals have beat have a combined record of 3-10. Give me a break guys. Playoffs are likely for ya but not much more. After the next 3 games you will know a lot more about your team.
Why does everyone assume that I love the Vikings. I actually really don't even like the Vikings much. Just because I live in Minnesota doesn't mean I'm a Vikes fan. I've been an Eagles fan all of my life and the day that the Bungles beat the Eagles (and not all their reserves as in last season) I will bow down to all of you.Originally Posted by CaiGuy
