The Bengals v Fins game in '10 was a snorefest. Maybe less to you since the Dolphins won, but a boring arse game, nonetheless. That's not a shot at the Dolphins, just the truth.
With the Bengals youth, it'd be stupid to say they're on par with playoff teams from last year. They had chances against Pitt x2 Balt x2 and the Texans late last year to put themselves in the conversation and they failed each time. The fortunate thing is, they gained invaluable experience playing those teams last year and their young core is back this year with some added weapons in the passing game. The injuries on defense is sure to suck some of the wind out of their progression this year, but if you're so concerned with reality, why is it you think the Dolphins have such a great shot this Sunday with a rookie QB and not a whole lot receiving wise? Pleeeease don't cite Hartline. I can see Bush but if you talk about Hartline, i'm going to point out how the Bengals were able to completely negate MJD last week.
For the record, i have no doubt it's going to be a close competitive game so no need to think i'm out of touch with reality. :up:
