Possibly a huge night for Bengals fans after a bitter championship game loss in KC.
Will Ken Riley be voted into the HOF? Can former tackle Willie Anderson make the final ten selections?
Deserving or not, Riley could still be considered the weakest candidate of the four candidates outside of the modern elects, with HC Don Coryell also included. I think he will get elected and then the question becomes, can another CB in Albert Lewis sneak in tonight before he becomes a senior candidate next year ? Could possibly three corners make this Class tonight with first ballot eligible, Revis and Ronde Barber in the queue, as well?
The Bengals season should still hold special to the fans despite overcoming penalties with chances to beat the Chiefs. A bitter loss as mentioned but after being shafted by the owners who changed the interpretation of the rulebook to prevent the team from possibly hosting the AFC Championship game; the team still beat the Ravens twice and won on the road in Buffalo to give them their chances in Kansas City ... Next year could finally be their breakthrough if they can be smart with the cap and decide the players that are most crucial, for future success ..
