Cincinnati
Bengal's football fans have allot to be excited for when it comes
to the upcoming 2007 NFL football season. The 2006 Bengal's where
on the verge of making the playoffs at 8-5 but came up short loosing
there last 3 football games. For the 2007 Bengal's to make it back
to the playoffs it will take the defense stepping up. They spent there
1st round draft pick on CB Leon Hall out of Michigan which should
help. In 2006 the Bengal's also used there 1st round draft pick on
a CB selection Johnathan Joseph out of South Carolina. The real question
for this defense will be the linebackers. The Bengal's are counting
allot on unproven players such as Ahmad Brooks. Other Bengal defense
starters are Madieu Williams, Landon Johnson, Deltha O'Neal, Justin
Smith, Domata Peko, and Robert Geathers. If this defense can play
half way decent we like the Bengal's chances. With offensive firepower
such as Chad Johnson, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Rudi Johnson, and Chris
Henry just to name a few. The offense line should be strong if they
can stay healthy with Willie Anderson and Levi Jones. The Bengal's
could go either way in 2007 depending on the defense, everyone who
is anyone knows about the Bengal's offense. If you want more information

History - Life
as a Bengals Fan
Cincinnati Bengals, professional football team and one of six teams
in the Central Division of the American Football Conference (AFC)
of the National Football League (NFL). Under the league’s realignment
plan, which will take affect in 2002, the Bengals will play in the
North Division of the AFC. The Bengals play at Cinergy Field in Cincinnati,
Ohio, and are scheduled to move to a new venue, Paul Brown Stadium,
in the 2000 season. The team wears uniforms of orange, black, and
white. The franchise was named after the Cincinnati Bengals football
team that played in the now-defunct American Football League between
1937 and 1941.
The Bengals joined a
different American Football League (AFL) as an expansion team in
1968. The club was organized by Paul Brown, who as a coach had won
three NFL titles with the Cleveland Browns during the 1950s. In
the Bengals’ first season, running back Paul Robinson led
the AFL in rushing and was named rookie of the year.
Cincinnati joined the
NFL in 1970 when the NFL and AFL completed their merger. The team
won the AFC Central Division in its first NFL season, relying especially
on an outstanding defense that starred cornerbacks Lemar Parrish
and Ken Riley. In the playoffs the Bengals lost in the first round.
Brown guided the Bengals
to postseason appearances again in 1973 and 1975, and Ken Anderson
emerged as one of the NFL’s finest quarterbacks. He won three
consecutive passing titles from 1973 to 1975 with the help of wide
receiver Isaac Curtis and tight end Bob Trumpy. Another favorite
target of Anderson was running back Boobie Clark, the 1973 rookie
of the year. Cincinnati lost in the first round of the playoffs
in both 1973 and 1975.
Following several coaching
changes and mixed results over the next few seasons, the Bengals
won the division crown in 1981 under head coach Forrest Gregg, a
former offensive tackle and a member of the Hall of Fame. Anderson
won his fourth passing title, and running back Pete Johnson and
rookie wide receiver Cris Collinsworth each gained more than 1,000
yards. In the playoffs, Cincinnati defeated the Buffalo Bills and
the San Diego Chargers before losing to the San Francisco 49ers
in the Super Bowl, 26-21.
The Bengals remained
competitive throughout the mid-1980s. Boomer Esiason replaced Anderson
in 1985 and, like his predecessor, became one of the NFL’s
premier quarterbacks. Following a 4-11 win-loss record in 1987,
Cincinnati finished the 1988 season with a 12-4 mark. Esiason won
the first of his two NFC passing titles and shared player of the
year honors with Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham.
Running back James Brooks, wide receiver Eddie Brown, and tackle
Anthony Munoz also starred in the AFC’s top-rated offense.
In the playoffs the Bengals advanced to their second Super Bowl
of the decade. Once there, however, Cincinnati again lost to the
49ers when San Francisco scored a last-minute touchdown.
In 1990 Cincinnati won
its fifth division title. Esiason notched his sixth consecutive
3,000-yard season, a club record. The Bengals won a total of just
11 games from 1992 to 1994, and the team continued to struggle for
much of the rest of the 1990s.

Legends are made by Super Bowl wins. The quarterbacks that could not win the big game are sometimes remembered, but for the most part, they are forgotten. There have been 44 Super Bowl games played and 44 times a quarterback walked away without a ring. Some lost in a last second kick missed by his own kicker, or made by the opposing team's kicker. Other Super Bowl losing quarterbacks just could not put up enough points to compensate for a bad defense.
A capsule look at reasons for concern among teams in the AFC North: Baltimore Ravens 1. An offensive line in flux. There is no timeframe when RT Jared Gaither will return from a back injury. The top backup, Oniel Cousins, has missed substantial practice time with a concussion and was inconsistent when healthy. The coaches probably will move RG Marshal Yanda to tackle and insert backup C Chris Chester at right guard. That leaves this unit with little depth.
<p>When the Bengals were selected to play in the Hall of Fame Game, coach Marvin Lewis saw it as a perfect opportunity to find out what he had with his younger players on the roster. It also turned out to be the perfect opportunity to get a floundering passing game back on track.</p>
<p>With the addition of Terrell Owens and drafting of Jermaine Gresham and Jordan Shipley, Marvin Lewis lived up to his offseason goal of providing Palmer with as many weapons as possible. Unlike last year when Palmer missed most of the preseason due to an ankle injury he has had plenty of chances to work with his new cast this year.</p>
<p>"We've got a very good corps," Palmer said. "We've obviously got the two big guys but there are young guys behind them that are working hard to get a roster spot.
First, no Ben Roethlisberger. Now, maybe no Byron Leftwich for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dennis Dixon, you're up next. Leftwich, expected to be the fill-in starter for the suspended Roethlisberger at quarterback for the Steelers, sprained his left knee in the second quarter as Pittsburgh (3-1) beat the starter-less Carolina Panthers 19-3 in the preseason finale Thursday night.
With the controversy swirling ahead of him on the Arizona quarterback depth chart, Max Hall wrapped up his preseason with a big night. The undrafted rookie from BYU completed 7 of 9 passes for 126 yards and scored on a 6-yard run in the Cardinals' 20-10 victory Thursday night over Washington. Hall directed Arizona to two TDs and a field goal in his three possessions.
Cedric Peerman made the kind of play a fourth-string running back needs to get his coach's attention in the final preseason game. His 93-yard touchdown run in the third quarter helped the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Indianapolis Colts 30-28 on Thursday night. Peerman burst up the middle, then got loose down the right sideline on a second-and-10 just as the relatively quiet Indianapolis crowd...
The NFL is a copycat league, and most everyone wants to be a carbon copy of one team in particular -- last season's Super Bowl champions. The New Orleans Saints won it all with the combination of an explosive, high-scoring offense and an aggressive defense. In the unpredictable NFC, they also were the conference's ninth different champion in as many years. Based on that formula, the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings can be considered strong contenders.
Don't let the record fool you -- preseason scores matter to Colts coach Jim Caldwell. Caldwell said he was embarassed by the 59-24 loss at Green Bay last Thursday, saying the team should have too much pride to perform so poorly. The franchise allowed its highest preseason point total since surrendering 70 to the Los Angeles Rams in 1950, when the Colts were still in Baltimore.
