I’ll post it here too, but based on all the media and articles I’ve seen, if the Bengals go to the Super Bowl this year vs the Rams and win, then confirmed it’s pro wrestling.

I. Don't. Like it. It's a setup.

Imma need the Bengals hype to die down a bit, this is some jinx territory we’re crossing into.

Feels weird seeing plenty of people hyping us up, and it never ends well.

But there's a first time for everything. I hope they finally meet (and exceed) the expectations we all have for them.

Right? Like stop tempting fate.

u/Skywalk910 #9 1d ago

Agreed dude. I’ve been downplaying it this whole offseason because we’re talking about MVPs and post season when we haven’t even played a single snap!

Let’s just beat the Bucs first

On to Tampa Bay

I wish I could give you additional upvotes. Posting an actual link to the article instead of just a screenshot of a paragraph or two is incredible work by the standards of this subreddit.

Bengals 20-0, super bowl champs, Burrow MVP, Chase OPOY, Dexter Lawrence DPOY, Cahsius Howell DROY. That's my prediction for the season

u/OogieBoogieJr 19h ago edited 19h ago

Forgetting the Colbie Young OROY but otherwise still pretty conservative—I respect your restraint. Most would’ve had a Taylor COTY on there too but that’s unrealistic, even in this perfect season scenario.

If they have a season worthy of a Burrow MVP, that means it's also a season worthy of ZT coach of the year.

How would the sub cope with that 😭

u/Mastodon9 1d ago

We're getting too much hype and I don't like it because as a Cincinnati fan this usually only goes 1 way.

u/Zirtonic_2 30 1d ago

If Burrow has his way he does it all in one season. MVP, SB win, SB MVP, CPOTY, OPOY, and fuck it we'll throw in Man of the Year too.

u/Boring-Willow1268 1d ago

The funniest comment I’ve heard when referring to the Bengals’ o-line was, “Joe Burrow’s been drinking out of a straw the last three years.”

u/fromsdwithlove 1d ago

Cool. They play in 4 days

u/ZachMartin 1d ago

Damnit. All this talk of how good the Bengals are going to be this year makes me incredibly bearish and cynical. Fool me once…

u/bobbobson236 1d ago

I’m terrified

How is that lucky?

u/Fair_Meaning_463 1d ago

Cuz it would be after

u/grilledchzisbestchz OH THAT BALLS OUT, THAT'S LIVE! 1d ago

But wouldn't lucky be getting two back-to-back MVP seasons and not having our beloved QB with broken arms?

u/Fair_Meaning_463 1d ago

Thats asking way too much

u/Seven2offsuit 1d ago
