The good teams find ways to win them.

But yes...Patriots we should beat. We had the Ravens game and played for the long fg and lost. Chiefs game was winnable.

But...we lost.

On paper, yes of course. But based on the actual game, I would say the better team on the day won. The Chiefs game is really the only loss where only ridiculousness cost us the W. I'd say we were the better team that day, but unlikely events meant we lost. 

The other losses were all 'fair' based on how the game played out. The Ravens we lost to, because our defence was an absolute sieve. 

Like you say, the good teams win those games and the bad teams don't. I hope we turn it around, but nothing about this season so far suggests we do.

Why would I drive that far to watch them lose.

But if I do, I have taken said notes of where to eat.

Meh, we've shown we can beat Cleveland.  I'm hoping we end the season with the third straight win against them. Of course, maybe they've been reborn now, so....

Yup. He is the world's largest possum. 

Do not renew your season tickets. Please.

If you have to go, buy from a scalper. Those tickets are already sold.

No jerseys, t-shirts, caps, etc. Stop feeding the pig.

There’s not much else we can do.

Bad teams lose games they could have won. Good teams win those games. 

It's a pretty stable metric.

I’m so tired of this franchise. It’s not going to be possible for most of us to quit them. I’ve tried.

Send them to Oklahoma City or San Diego or Juarez.

Maybe we can bring another franchise in after Brown is gone. 4 to 5 years later.

There’s no reason to think things will ever improve because they won’t.

Move this albatross. The brown family will never sell, so relocation is our only hope.

So because you are too mentally weak to stop watching them yourself, you want the team taken away from fans who ride and die with this team??? Riiigjt... no thank you.

This
. And if you do choose to go to a game, then have the decency and self-respect to wear a bag over your head so as not to bring shame to you or your family.
I fear the youngsters are now going to know what the 90s were like. Congrats to the Brown family - the Bungles are back!

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.

I’m a fan because I was a Reds fan living in Louisville and then Indianapolis area since 1978. They were the Baltimore Colts then. Never been able to quit on them or the Reds. But they make it hard.

One can only hope, but knowing Mike Brown Zac will be here long after Burrow and Chase are gone.

The bungles are all die. No ride. The franchise is a parasite. An infection.

Mike Brown or katie would give you rep for your post, though. That’s kinda cool.

Actually, they wouldn’t. Keep ridin and dyin’.

What Oklahoma City do to you?

Then man up and quit watching. Just do it yourself instead of trying to take it away from everyone else. All die huh... you must have missed the last few years

Anyone see that game!?! Crazy end. Reminds me of the AJ Green Hail Mary catch in Baltimore. I was at that game. 






( It did not end well ).

Yeah, I saw a franchise which seemed to finally be the beneficiary of the stars aligning in its favor piss down its leg and land right in another pit of misery. Again, no ride, all die. Window slammed shut, missed the playoffs last year and assuredly will this year too. This org is a mess.

But between you and me…no matter what you might think, I can’t take the bungles away from you. Wish I had that kind of sway, but I don’t. So don’t let me get under your skin. Save that frustration for this Hindenburg of a football franchise.

And Cincinnati is talking about a dome over the stadium, really.

How about a Mike Brown open his wallet and start paying scouts and coaches and get some different people in here, you tight wad.

Where was the pass rush against a banged up line?

This team is Charmin soft.

In Lou's defense Hendrickson and Hubbard are better DB then CTB. 

I am joking I hate dropping DE into coverage.
