Being positive does not make you a homer.

Predicting playoffs when you are 3-5, have lost 3 straight home games, and lost a lot of games to losing teams makes you a "homer".

I don't know...there could be extenuating circumstances.  Injuries, schedule, etc. 

That being said, those Bengals teams had not given you much of a track record to think so.  I do remember Mel Kiper saying about Dalton coming out of college:  "Allergic to losing", and for those first five years, he was pretty accurate with that.

He also probably hit a guy arguably the hardest clean hit I have ever seen in an NFL game when he destroyed Owen Daniels trying to go across the middle.





Laying out those type of hits AND getting 8 INT all in the same season.

I have no idea if that would fall under "defenseless receiver" as it seems to be the most subjective call (before taunting came along).  

That was an insane hit, though.  Daniels was a big dude, and he totally reversed his direction.  Sad that a play like that would have me cringing waiting for laundry.

He moderated a forum that some of us posted in for 10 years

He was optimistic about the team

He shared the location of his season tickets and invited any board member to stop by and say hi.

Any time he was invited to do something at the stadium, he shared the experience

Probably because anyone with a dissenting opinion got banhammered?

And this is coming from one of the more optimistic guys.  

I will say that after the last few years of the Carson Palmer era where we were either good or terrible no real in between. I really enjoyed that in the early years of the Green Dalton era the team always kept fighting and you couldn't really count them out during the season.

I was very optimistic with my belief that we would never win a playoff game with Marvin Lewis and we didn't. do I get a conciliation prize?

That one was solid.  I really wish we could have a stupid emoji of the face twirling a banhammer with a WHOOSH!  sound effect.  I am so stupid, but banhammer makes me laugh every damn time.

Was Denny the guy who had the sig with him and Mike Brown in a golf cart? That guy never got negative...

Just hit me up when you feel one is warranted.

Yep.

I think Denny had a connect to the team as well. I remember at some point during the Mike Zimmer DC era him predicting we would win 3 of our last 4 to get in the playoffs. I was skeptical but it happened just like he said.

Denny G was so positive he actually attracted electrons and repelled nuclei.

One of those jokes that's so corny it's funny. My favorite type of joke, tbh.

Remember Bengal Barry from the old board? He was the homer of all homers. Barry didn’t have a mean bone in his body and he even praised Mikey Boy a lot.

I do remember him.  What a character.  His homerism seemed genuine and innocent.  It was hard not to like the guy.

OSUfan as well, although he (very occasionally) still posts here.

Btw, I was thinking about making a post in Klotsch about all the posters we've lost through the years. I made a small list of guys who haven't logged in for over a year or more:

Cornerblitz
Royal Redlegs (Berzerker)
Stormborn
wolfkaosaun
xxlt
Nebuchadnezzar
SteelCitySouth
Magikod
Circleville Guy
Orlando Bengal
RICHMONDBENGAL_07
I_C_DeadPeople
depthchart
PAPinhead
etc

Lots more that haven't checked in this season. The Pistons hasn't logged in since New Years.

Any way you could do an email blast to them to say something to the effect of "Hey, haven't seen you in a while.  The Bengals are challenging for the AFCN crown, so stop in and say howdy and let us know what you've been up to."   

I always wonder what happens to people that stop posting.  Did they die, or jut lose interest in the team and/or board?  Call me the sentimental type that needs closure, I guess.
