I'll just put this in here since there's no offseason thread yet :D

2012 Home schedule
Baltimore
Cleveland
Pitt
Tebows
Palmers
Cowboys
Giants
Dolphins

That's a pretty loaded home schedule with a lot of historically great teams.

Clements is a great guy, but I hope he isn't around next year unless it's as a #3cb. If he can't keep up with Dennis Pitta he shouldn't be an every down guy.

Saturday is better for a good house party. Not a fan of the 1pm Sunday games when Saturday is an option, it's just too early. This is also better if they win since they get an extra day. Going to Houston then to NE that would help a lot.

Houston still is tough because of there run game. I might even think about starting delhome bc of his playoff experience he brings and he looked good this afternoon. Ill still take Houston that place should be loud and crazy

Raiders, Chargers, Broncos, Chiefs, Dolphins, Jaguars, Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, Redskins.

Bengals not only make the playoffs, will have 3 draft picks in the top 55 and play a 3rd place schedule next year. Pressure is going to be high next year for this group. Right now is just an encore.

The Jags and Dolphins will be must wins to take advantage of the 3rd place schedule. They won't be going 6-2 against the 2 opposite divisions like they did this year.

The 3rd option probably isnt going to happen, and hoping the fans let him know about it next year and stay away until he makes changes.

The Bengals can win this game, Who Dey!
there is an/are NFL team(s) who don't have (an)indoor practice facility/facilities?

Texan ticket holder here. I think it comes down to Dalton making plays in a very very loud environment. Matt Ryan couldn't do it. This should be more rabid than that. Of course growing up 30 mins from Reluant stadium may make this easier for him. OR. It could be a huge distraction.

I have a feeling all 6 Bengals fans in existence will make the trip 2 Texas and make it feel like a home game for them. Bengals win 27-17.

I see Bengals winning by a FG and advancing. Hopefully Mike Brown doesn't throw his usual wet towel on all this optimism in Bengal Nation.

Cincinnati is the only team geographically considered a northern cold weather team who doesn't have an indoor practice facility.

So sad that the freaking UC Bearcats have an indoor facility, but the NFL Cincy Bengals do not. Hopefully Brown was embarrassed when he announced that a while back

That is pathetic, there is a local high school in Cincy that has an indoor practice facility. Dont forget the Bengals have the worst scouting department in the league also.

^^^^ Thats why were discussing it, changes that the fans want made. The Bengals fans are protesting by not showing up. I have not bought any mercandise of the Bengals in the last 6 years, and the only game I have went to was this years Browns game and I got a ticket dirt cheap!

Mike Brown laughs at his critics. I doubt he cares.

I still see the Bengals Making the Super Bowl. Call me crazy but they remind me of the 08 cardinals

I'm rooting for the Bengals in this game, and I think they have a good chance to win. On the other hand, I don't think they go to NE and win. I wouldn't be upset if they lost and Pitt won. I think Pitt goes into NE and kicks the shit out of the Pats.

Maybe just Maybe. But it could happen.
