Here is a little bit of trivia for ya. Which team in the NFL has gone 0-6 in their entire history 8 times? That would be the Cincinnati Bengals. From what I heard on TV today, the next closest NFL team has gone 0-6 only 4 times. Here is the breakdown.
1978 (0-8)
1991 (0-8)
1993 (0-10)
1994 (0-8)
2002 (0-7)
2008 (0-7 and counting)
If you notice, the current owner of the Bengals, Mike Brown, took over in 1990. This infamous record of 0-6 starts belongs to him and him alone save the one year in 1978. He is by far the worst owner, not just in the NFL, but in professional sports in general.
In 1993 I thought the Bengals had a chance to go 0-16. To my knowledge this has never been done, but I think with the recent injury to Carson Palmer it is within their grasp. What worries me, however, is that they play the Texans next Sunday. It was the Texans, who were at the time a first year expansion team, that broke the 0-10 skid into infamy in 1993. The funny part was, was that in 1993 the Texans were favored in that game to beat the Bengals even though it was their first year in existence. LOL. Mike Brown was said to have gone into a rage about this fact and then had the coach guarantee a win against them before the game.
All I can say is keep the dream alive for 0-16. I say if you win, win big and if you loose, loose big. You can do it Mikey!!!
