If true fans want a change at HC,then you MUST write a letter to Mr.Mike Brown at the cincinnat bengals stadium and address it to him.He reads letters you write if you keep it clean and make sense in your writings.I know as I write to him often and he will return a message back to you if you keep it clean and to the point.I would ask him to consider a coaching change to whoever you like and why.He likes imput from the fans.If you truly want to reach him with ideas,WRITE HIM!!!!!I DO and he always writes me back.May take a couple weeks,but he will respond to you,if you are making sense and keeping the letter about football.I know a lot of you are very knowledgeable and he likes to hear your ideas,believe me. :andy:

Don't get me wrong, we've had some ups, but even more downs in that time.  At 43 years old, I am realizing my mortality and how precious time really is.  I began thinking that I'd like to spend more time with my children and the things that matter and less time with the Bengals (as interesting as they can be sometimes).  I then considered my expectations, which I have found to be completely wrong the whole time.  Mike Brown has not and perhaps cannot bring us fans the winner we've always dreamed of.  As long as he remains, the organization will not be able to move forward due to the decisions he makes.  

The Broncos were leading 21-10 at that point and I drifted off to sleep.  When I woke up, Mark Walton carried the ball as time expired.  The game was over and our season as well.  I guess I really didn't care at that point or anymore at all even.  My mentality has changed and hopefully my behavior as well.  While I will still follow the Bengals, until there are some real changes, I don't see any point in getting excited about much of anything.  

However, I still am pretty pissed about John Taylor though!  :paul: (Billups too for that matter.)

Spot on.  You pretty hit every single thing outta the park.  Rep to you.  Why give this train wreck of a franchise anymore of my time and hard earned money?  Change has to start at the top, the son of Paul has to step down, before I'll give anything back to the Bengals.  Its too bad really, I'd love to go visit the city. 


And if I EVER see John Taylor in a dark alley someplace......bad things will ensue.  Bad things.

I agree...but...DCB.  There will be one win in there that will cost us 8 draft spots.
