2013 Cincinnati Bengals Season Thread

• osu45804

  

  Fresh off of signing James Harrison & the NFL Draft next week I figured we should also get a thread going.
  
  I don't really see this draft being loaded with star power, but there are a lot of quality players. I see the Bengals going targeting the secondary early...
  
  I also made a Wallpaper for the season if anyone wants to use it

  Interesting.
  
  Ravens at Bengals to end the year, AGAIN.
• sportchampps

  10-6 at worst this year

  Getting pretty damn sick of ending the year against the Ravens. Is this the third straight year it's been Ravens at Bengals?

  Just checked, third straight year for Ravens at Bengals and the 4th straight year they've ended against each other. Ridiculous.

  Looks like 10-6 or 11-5

  I like it but I want to enjoy some 80's before I wrap my head around football.

  I'll be really interested to see what Dalton does this year. Obviously a team's success is heavily dependent on a quarterback, but the Bengal's defense is pretty solid. It'll be up to the offense to do their part and win games.
• friendfromlowry

  I think they go 4-2 in the conference, with two wins coming against Steelers along with the other home games, and losing the road games to the Ravens/Browns.
  Wins: Lions, Bills, Jets, Chargers, Dolphins
  Losses: Packers, Patriots, Colts,
  Not sure: Bears, Vikings

  As for the draft, I really hope the Bengals nab Montee Ball in the 4th or so. I'd also like to see them draft a pure speed WR, someone who slips due to size. A guy with the potential to break it at any time.
• sportchampps

  I am hoping lacy somehow drops to us in the early 2nd. I also would like to take a shot at the honey badger or Lattimore

  Might want to start getting used to it. This is the 4th year in a row that the Browns will be ending their season with the Steelers. I belive Goodell wants to promote rivalries, and he wants to have meaningful divisonal games at the end of the season.

  Didn't think the Bengals would go TE in Round 1
• Ironman92

  

  Yeah....I wouldn't like it but if they choose to they will have some serious matchup difficulties for red zone defenses.
• SJBlueJay20

  With the way defenses are(n't) allowed to defend the receiver in the current era of the NFL I love adding a 2nd weapon at tight end along with Gresham. Eifert has the ability to line up out wide or put a hand down. As a Notre Dame and Bengal fan all I can say is:

  Interesting pick. Must be going with the Pats blueprint with Gronk and Hernandez.
• osu45804

  

  Giovarni Bernard over Eddie Lacy huh? Interesting to see where they go w/ their second 2nd Rd pick now

  Is that the UNC guy? I think's he's going to be very very good in the NFL.

  Yeah, that's him... Honestly I've never seen him play b/c I've wanted to watch a UNC football game

  Yes. He's a beast. His college stats won't jump off the page at you, but I think he's going to be very good.

  Bengals select Margus Hunt 6'8" DE from SMU... He came over from Estonia & learned football by playing Madden. He's a former world champion in both the shot put and the discus.

  Bengals get their Safety in Shawn Williams out of Georgia
  
  The Bengals have drafted five Georgia players in the last four drafts.

  Not to mention Robert Geathers, David Pollack and Odell Thurman. The Bengals love them some Dawgs...

  Sean Porter LB Texas A&M is the Bengals 4th Rd Selection
• osu45804

  

  I thought if the Bengals were going to go T in the 5th it was going to be Fragel... This Hawkinson guy doesn't seem to be grading out very well
