Many of you are too young to have seen the 1990's and early 2000's of this franchise, and for that you are lucky. It became known as Bungles as ESPN would show highlights of all games and on Bengals game part would say, " and now The Bungles ". ESPN would make 3 Stooges noises as Bengals missed tackles and such. So the other highlights were the main part of the show and they would give just a short time to what they called The Bungles as a comedy part of the show. So I envy those who didn't live through those years, but the problem is the team is back into it. Here is a running back and Bungles try to make a tackle but Whoop, Woo, Woo, Woo, Whoop. Bungles try to go for it on 4th down but Whoop. Woo, Woo, Woo, Whoop.
Some will say the good news is team could use the high draft picks in April, but it sure will be hard to watch in 2019. NO O Line of course, but on D the Bengals can not stop misdirection and plays to the outside. Every team knows it now, and it's all Bengals D will see and Bengals D can do nothing to stop it. All the D problems of 2018 are still there in 2019. All the O line problems of 2018 are even worse in 2019.
I guess there was hope that the Rams coach would over night make Bengals look like Super Bowl Rams, but they just look like the 2018 Bengals players a year older. 0-5 now and the schedule ahead is bleak. This season and last season are what The Bungles Years of 1990's and early 2000's felt like. Today I watched Bengals off and on as I followed other games. I did hear fans Boo and they aren't wrong. If you find yourself watching this team less and less as the season goes on, that's probably a good thing. Yelling at the TV won't make them play any better. Since my mood went from Hopeful to Apathy last week, I switched channels on games and Bengals loss was no surprise to me, but I've been through BUNGLES before in my life.
There is one constant to Old Bungles and New Bungles. Good old Mike Brown as the owner. But pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
