Maybe the question should be......."Of all of the annual cellar dwellers, how many "might" make the playoffs?"
The reason I say this is because of the lock out, players aren't likely to be in football shape until maybe mid season. (Just speculating......bear with me). With that being said, these guys will likely be more apt to be injury prone than normal, especially on these so called "elite" teams. Yes, even the cellar dwellers will be affected by injuries, but these "elite" teams may be thinking that since they are "better" than these low life teams, they don't need the practice as much.

Just a thought, and nothing concrete about it.

Hey Bull,I agree,I never seen Dallas mentioned atall,and they should be at least considered as a top 10 team going into this year.and preseason?,just might make that happen too key players of the'top tier teams'this poster mentioned.

Howdy EZ........long time.

Dallas will have to re earn their way back after last year. I'm kinda like you ...I'll believe it when I see it.

I see ya'll are debating this scooter person on the Jane thread..........Lawdy

Maybe.....but a tiger might as well try changing his stripes, and I doubt Jones will change his meddling ways. His ego won't allow that to happen, much like Mike Brown seems to think he's "smart".................Boy Howdy.

Who will succeed Jones if he retires?

Probably his son, Stephen. But, I think...and that's just a "think", not actually knowing for certain......that Stephen will be better and more level headed than Jerry

But, Jones won't retire until he's 6 ft under.

Hey Dice,I really never checked!! hahahaha!!!,but he's older than me!,how's the hip?

The hip is great EZ. Maybe Mike Brown will sell the team to an owner with deep pockets.

You really deserve a winner in Cincy because the fans are getting restless.

Bull,Our 1st Owner was Paul brown,and after he passed?,his clone got handed the team and it's been in the S/h/i/t/t/er/ ever since,I hope i outlive this c/o/c/k/su/ker,just too see them in the playoffs for 20 years.

Yeah, I know EZ. I've kept up with most teams, and the Bengals are one of them. I remember watching Boomer and Ken Anderson playing.....hope their fortunes change, but with Brown, and re signing that coach, I doubt it will be any time soon.

Depends on whether Stephen has his own mind and ways of doing things. But, as long as Jerry is alive, we likely won't see anything from Stephen. And, he may be worse than Jerry..............who knows?

I agree with you. The Bengals need a good owner and team.
