Kenny has the numbers, as do a few other Bengals (Ochocinco), but the HOF is equally about wins. If the team doesn't win enough, the players often get overlooked.

We watched this game from our house, overlooking the Ohio River near Pittsburgh. After the game ended, we started preparing for the snow we knew was coming up the river from Cincy.

The era when WRs had to be Green Berets to go over the middle while wearing Toys R Us approved helmets, training camp was full pads two a-days, no nutritionists or special diets, and unless you were a super star, you needed an off season job to pay the bills.

I agree. Football back then, announcers, presentation and all was better. It was smash mouth classic football. Todays game is different, but I will say it’s better now than it was 4 years ago. The game has improved now due to an influx of better QB play now. But again, it’s a completely different game today. Those announcers back then were priceless.
They played a pretty soft schedule. In their 9 game win streak, only the Bengals had a winning record to end the season. They split with the Browns, beat the Colts in the playoffs, then lost to Oakland in a game that wasn't as close as the score. There were really only 5 good teams in the NFL that year: Oakland, NE, Dallas, Minnesota, and the Rams. The Cowboys and Rams weren't as good as the other 3.
This Bengals team was a special bunch. Their punter/ tight-end was a Harvard boy. Their other tight-end was the great Bob Trump's, also a great color NFL analyst on NBC. I was still in high school when this game was played. I loved this team. But, their play-calling was too conservative. A great defensive unit!
As a Steelers fan I hated Bob Trumpy as analyst. His dislike for the Steelers was no mystery. Ive heard Browns fans say they thought Trumpy hated on them as well..i think Trumpy was way worse than Cris Collinsworth when it came to being biases.
Ken Anderson was a GOOD quarterback FOR SURE!!! GLAD he made it to Super Bowl XVI AND was an assistant with the STEELERS when they won Super Bowl XLIII. I’m JUST old enough to remember Curt Gowdy back in the early 70’s.
Notice the lack of the extreme narcissism that every player today has when they celebrate anything as simple as a tackle on 2nd down as if they just won the superbowl.
Ya those guys were more humble back then. Didn’t make the huge money they do today. Weren’t being broadcast on 100 different sports channels, and social media like they are today. Only prima Donna player from this era was Hollywood Henderson maybe white shoes Johnson. But at least they were entertaining.
Ask any player that played in that era (if they're still alive or have any brain cells left) about the turf of that era. It was horrible, like painted concrete. OSHA should've stepped in and banned it as unsafe work space.

That first pass was incomplete. The WR finally had control of the ball with one foot in and one foot out of bounds. Too bad they didn't have replay back then.
I’d say Anderson is borderline. Had Anderson, like Namath, won a SB then he probably gets in. I do agree with you about Namath. I can’t see him in the HOF….also with Anderson having a career 2-4 postseason record doesn’t help his case either
Anderson had a fantastic 1981 season. After several injury plagued season the bengals were about done with Anderson by then. He was even benched in the opener that season and Turk schoenert lead the bengals back after being down 21-3. He had some really good seasons in the mid 70s as well. He had a very up and down career. Played until 1986, but was a boomer esiasons back up his last few seasons. Only one bengal is in the hof. Anthony Munoz. These are probably the reasons Anderson isn’t in the hof.

This is the worst i ever saw Jack Lambert play(my favorite defensive lineman) he really phoned it in. Watch how at the end of almost every play, he is consistently the guy still on his feet standing next to the pile with his hands on his hips. He almost never ends up on the ground.
Lambert was a linebacker in the 4-3 defense. So he wasn't a defensive lineman. The Bengals only scored 3 points so the Steelers and Lambert must have done something right.

Television production want an art yet. Curt Gowdy regularly mispronounced names.
What I notice about these old football games is that the kickers weren't all that good. A fg or extra point wasnt almost automatic like they are today. Then you had the straight ahead kickers such as Don Cockroft of the Browns. Now they are all soccer style kickers.
too bad the Bengals don't go back to these uniforms
thank goodness!

This is the worst i ever saw Jack Lambert play(my favorite defensive lineman) he really phoned it in. Watch how at the end of almost every play, he is consistently the guy still on his feet standing next to the pile with his hands on his hips. He almost never ends up on the ground.
You sound like a non Steelers fan.
Lambert was a linebacker in the 4-3 defense. So he wasn't a defensive lineman. The Bengals only scored 3 points so the Steelers and Lambert must have done something right.

It still frosts me that Griffin got the Heisman instead of Chuck Muncie.
Chuck had votes taken away because he played with Joe Roth and Wesley Walker. The original triplets of the NCAA at Berkeley
