2011 Bengals Discussion

Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis still leading the charge, rookie offensive coordinator, rookie quarterback, very questionable offensive line, and we just lost our best defensive player -- and shortened preparation time too boot! This has the makings of 2002 all over again...

Carolina Panthers last season, mirror image.

The only saving grace might be the shortened preparation time. You mention the Bengals, but all 32 teams will suffer. This could early on be the sloppiest and most injury ridden season in NFL history as a result of the lockout.

My prediction is we end up getting the no 1 overall pick in the draft next season. We might be lucky to win one or two games, but we will be in prime position to take Andrew Luck. Andy Dalton will be this years Jimmy Clausen.

Likely bad enough to be able to draft Andrew Luck and then pass on him.

3 wins tops. Rinse. Repeat.

Re: How bad are the Bengals going to be next year?

If the Bengals were playing last year's schedule this year, there's a decent chance they'd go winless.

Nah. They'll seemingly have Luck wrapped up and then go and win the last two meaningless games to slide to the 2nd or 3rd pick.

Just Picture NYC and the Commissioner stepping up to the mic and saying "Welcome to the 2012 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals are on the clock"...

Couple minutes later:
"The Cincinnati Bengals select Quarterback Andrew Luck from Stanford University".

Why would Luck, or anyone really, want to play for Mike Brown? If I was him, I'd demand my agent attempt some Eli Manning negotiating tactics. I think a career with the Toronto Argonauts would be more satisfying than one in orange and black.

2-14. They are going to be as bad as some of the awful teams of the late 90s and early 2000s. this team has the potential to go 0-16

Re: How bad are the Bengals going to be next year?

The Bengals will be pretty bad this year, but they are playing the NFC west this year. Could lead to a few lucky wins. I can see a 5-11 season. I am banking on another top ten pick.
