The stage is all set for a big time header.

The stage is set for another Pro Bowl year and a division title for the Bengals.  I can&#039;t wait to watch them go into Baltimore on September 10th and absolutely b&amp;*tch slap Fluko and the Ravens.  I&#039;m thinking a 24-3 smack down, Who Dey!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In response to someone saying Dalton is overrated  doesn&#039;t make much sense. Even all Bengal fans who watched every game last season know that great defense, solid special teams and a fantastic number 18 made the bengals win 9 games. Dalton played smart and hard, never giving up and making good throws at big times. Cincinnati is about to go wild this fall.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Andy will perform better this year.  Having a couple more receivers to help AJ will do wonders for this offense.  Jerome Simpson was the only other threat to their offense.  And nothing against Jerome but I&#039;m more confident with the Sanu.  Plus Shipley should be back and healthy.  Benson being gone could be a blessing also.  Green-Ellis and Bernard Scott sharing carries could really open up a lot for Mr. Dalton.  Not to mention a first round pick on the offensive line.  Even if Andy plays equal to last year and not better the team could be a lot better.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You never hear about Cincinnati having a lot of &quot;franchise&quot; type veterans.  Mostly you hear ab0ut Veterans on their last legs or like Andy/AJ second year players trying to step up and be leaders.  Willie Anderson is one of the exceptions to this but even he got the boot when he lost half a step.

(FYI: This is all about money)

Andy/AJ should be able to get them into the playoffs again this year.  Maybe even AFC Championship but that&#039;s probably where they&#039;ll peak.  Next year they&#039;ll have another solid year and then the year after everything will collapse in contract negotiations.

At least that&#039;s the pattern for Cincinnati for the last 25 years.]]></description>

Does anybody else think this guy’s gonna bomb this year?

The stage is all set for a big time header.

-------------------------

Of course you feel that way Joe.  You never pass up the opportunity to bash the Bengals. 

I&#039;d take Dalton over half the qb&#039;s in the league.  He&#039;s already passed Flacco in the division.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Andy will do fine this year.  Yes there will be more pressure but a full offseason will help.  Super Bowl - not yet, deeper in playoffs yes but remember they do play in the toughest division in the NFL so if we can at least match last years record and beat the evil Ravens and Steelers - well I&#039;ll be happy.  Remember it took the Cowboys back in the early 90s 3 years to make the playoffs when Aikman became their quarterback and we did it with Andy in one year.]]></description>
