And we can all have fun watching the Ravens and Steelers kick ass while laughing at us all season.

Why aren't we allowed to switch teams we root for and not feel bad. I just want to root for Burrow and Chase, as fans, if they are traded, we must require they are traded together. If the owner does not do what the fans request, he or she goes to jail.

Done with almost all of them.

Yes he is complete ass this yr. His miss turned the whole game around 
Sucks that we have a QB that can win a SB but a Team that does not go the extra mile to support that effort to modernize the team with a Legit sized scouting dept and a LEGIT GM not some  family friend like Dukie. I hope Burrow pulls a Palmer: this crap has to end

Not possible for me.  I am cursed.  I grew up in Cincy and have loved the Bengals since I was a kid.  The only way I will ever be freed from this curse is if they move the team or dissolve it.  It's like being bound in chains for eternity like Jacob Marley.  My brain will never be able to feel the same way I do for the Bengals towards another team.  It is not possible for me to switch teams.

That's the only way. 5 year rule is over this season.

I have watched for 37 years now. The only main constant is Mike Brown and failure. So what you are saying is we are a fan of Mike Brown.

Some people who weren't born in Cincy, of which there are probably millions of us, may be fans of the team because a Tiger was their favorite animal, or because Orange was their favorite color.

Just isn't the way sports fanatics work my friend. We will all be here saying the exact same things in a decade's time!

I hate this for y’all. If only you saw the signs the season was over after week 3 like some astute posters it wouldn’t hurt so bad. But at least the board is on the same page now and the internal healing can commence.

Hey. How 'bout that genius Lou move to rush 3 again on the 3rd and long and allow Hurts to stand in the pocket for 5 seconds, converting the 1st?

Where was the pass rush against a banged up line?

This team is Charmin soft.

I know people here in NY whose kids love the Bengals because of the helmets.  Maybe there is some hope for those people to find a way out.  lol.

I haven't ever even been in Cincinnati before. Those of us who are fans who aren't from the city, have some legal way to escape. lol. 

If we have to be fans of the team we live in the most, I have to be a browns fan

We have a good year and the board speculated that other members of the family are running things.

We have a bad year and the board blames MB.

46 here. Nothing but ultimate disappointment for every single one of them.

I'm too deep into the Bengals to jump ship. I'm in Maryland. F the Ravens. When the Bengals are not on, I will just cheer for Washington. At least there is emotional support here.

When players make mistakes, you need coaches to make them better.  But, we have coaches making errors...

What about Detroit?

They had 35 in the first half and Goff was 6/8 for 28 yards.

I'd be stunned if they fired Taylor. Needs done. But, they won't. 

I'd say he probably has this year plus 2 more before they'd consider a move.

They're largely a franchise worse managed than the Bengals that kind of lucked it all together like we did.

I would honestly be very happy seeing the Lions win it all at some point.

The coaches show little improvement year to year.

Our schemes are weak too. It's all on the players to make plays and they cant.
