Really thread worthy...been dying to see that baby.

Great stuff.....really was.

I think it is safe to assume that the teams playing the Bengals are very happy.

You are right. Marvin won't be able to right that ship and will be canned the day that the season ends. It's a shame because I think he has the right scheme if implemented. Best player for them in the draft would be Mendenhall. Then go defense with every other pick.

I have to agree with you as well. And I would trade Chad. They could get a 1st or 2nd next year for him.

What's even more tough, is that you're not playing my beloved Vikes. If you were, you could at least know your Bungals were gonna win one game this year lol.

The Vikes defense, secondary esp., would improve dramatically if they were to pick up a top notch defensive end. No pass rush, and your leaving them guys out to dry. A great pass rush is everything on defense, just look at the G men last year. A bunch of mediocre corners and safeties that were made to look like pro bowlers due to the hurries and relentless pass rush. The Vikes run D is already the best in the league. They were pretty good with turnovers last year, just NO pass rush...

WIth Udeze a huge question mark due to his ailment, Im sure that they are thinking drafting a D End pretty high. This draft class is loaded at the end posiiton, imo...

I look for the Vikes to win their division. Sydney Rice (great possession reciever alongside Furgueson) is only going to get better and the addition of Berrian will be a field stretcher...Throw in the 1-2 punch of AD and Chester, and you have ur self a potent offense. Tarvaris must improve though, and Childress should exploit the opposing defenses stuffing the box for AD...

Good points... But I'm not an optimistic Vikes fan, I'm a pessimistic and cynical Vikes fan. Yeah, Darrion Scott got Hurt and then got busted for drug use, Udeze has Leukemia, Erasmus James' knee is shot, so look for the Vikes to draft the DE from Florida.

That, and for the love of god! Yeah, he's gettin older, but trade for Jason Taylor. Give Miami a 2nd rounder, and get it done. He's probably not worth that (I understand the value of picks, and it's asking a lot to give that up), but just do it. Desperate times call for desperate measure. That and the Vikes have the cap room to add him.

You are kidding. You guys have people who can rush the ball. This is the Bengals. Peterson and Taylor would run for almost 400 yards.
