"On the heels of a win that most folks regard as a changing of the guard in the AFC North, Bengals receiver Chad Johnson guaranteed on The Dan Patrick Show that: (1) the Bengals will score at least 40 points per game for the rest of the season; (2) the Bengals will face the Colts in the AFC championship game at Indy; and (3) the Bengals will win the game."

From http://profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm

I don't know about the 40 pts part, or the Colts part, but I do believe we're headed for a Bengals super bowl!

if they have to go indy in the playoffs which they will...

[no]

but i'd still like to see it

oh and houshmandzadeh might be even better than johnson

12/5/2005 5:30:24 PM

^Houshmandzadeh is good, but CJ is the best receiver in the NFL

agreed

and yes they will meet in the big show, schedules to easy not to get them there.

As for Indy...i think they can beat them, they almost did awhile back and the only reason they didnt was the defense getting by...obviously the Bengals O can hang with them...the question is which defense holds first.

so yes, they are good, yes Chad is great....i dunno if hes as good as a 100% moss, but hes good.
and I hope Philip is a Palmer in the making

at any rate, they oughta be on cruise control the rest of the year in the north, obviously if they can hold off the afc west for a week off in the playoffs that would be huge, and with

Dec 11 - Cleveland
Dec 18 - @ Detroit
Dec 24 - Buffalo
Jan 1 - @KC

i don't see a reason why they shouldn't be right there for that #2 spot, esp with those afc west teams beating up on each other down the stretch

12/5/2005 5:51:55 PM

At Arrowhead is the only loss they will probably incur the rest of the year

i definitely didn't see them beating denver coming

on a side note, whats new on whether priest is retiring or not? his job appears to be in well-capable hands these days

12/5/2005 6:03:07 PM

I do have to say that class sure is turning out good though

Moss Wayne, shoot even Krob is really coming into his own

btw i wanna see Philip at Chicago i have decided

12/5/2005 6:03:51 PM

^^^ cool list, it's interesting that a few of the guys on that list have all had a sort of rebirth recently - i forgot quincy morgan existed for awhile after he left cleveland
