If attendence and merchandise sales suffer, you can always cut costs to maintain va certain level of profitability. The whole fan boycott stuff has nowhere near the teeth it used to. Not saying people should be buying tickets and merch for an 0-6 team, either. Just saying that empty stands aren't going to be an agent for change.

It's about the only thing fans can do to try to promote change. Got any other ideas?
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!

The last 30 some years should have told us that there's nothing we can do as fans to promote change. The only time there's really been a good amount of modernization is when his revenue increased around the opening of PBS. There likely won't be sweeping changes until he dies or sees another big revenue inrease with a new stadium.

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

This would be the most boring board of all time if we waited until something good until we post! Anyway, I don't want to see any poster leave this board forever. We already lost a generation of fans. We need more posters, not less.

Do I need the Truckster to acknowledge my acceptance of his bet, or have enough people seen the acceptance to have this validated?

Maybe there are 2 types of fans, the optimistic and the realistic fans. Even at games, I yell at Andy Dalton wearing my AJ Green jersey on. I yell at AJ Green too when he makes a drop. I ain't paying my hard earned dollars for Dalton to have a family of 5 with a beautiful wife and not practice 365 days a year. I want him to win, he's paid millions, sacrifice. It's readily apparent he cannot win here for one or many reasons, yet we still field him. I hate on my "favorite" team more than the opponent's team. There are many of "us" out there.
John Ross can make 1 great play out of 10, you will cheer him. I will cheer him and also boo him for the 9 dropped passes. The sick joke is you can leave this board, but you can't leave being a fan. I've questioned this a few times and people say I'm not a true fan if I've reached a point I don't want to watch this junk anymore. It's many a fan's attitude to be like popavich, you're not happy until you're holding the championship. Not everyone views sports the same, some people it's their lifeblood, others relate to it, others have nothing better to do but something to watch. I had a thread a long time ago asking "how did you become a Bengals fan", and basically get in this jailcell we're in now? For many it may be you were born or live in Cincy, but many of us have never even visited Cincy. For me, it's because the Bengals tiger is the animal from my parents' country, Bangladesh. And that is the only resaon I am a fan, and subject myself to this team's disappointment for 30-35 years. Yo have to be honest, these are some of the worst Bengals performances of all time. Zero first downs in a half, challenging lowest time of possessions for a game (all time), multiple times already this season (record is somewhere around 15 minutes). These are not games we will forget soon, lol. It's the same way Lebron yelled at JR Smith when he brought the ball out instead of trying to go for the layup with a couple seconds left after that missed free throw. Boneheaded play, as a Cavs fan, we also yelled at him. It's very easy to get frustrated at how our entire team plays and very difficult to hold pom poms, there is little to cheer for. 0-6.

Breaking news! Bengals will discontinue stadium entrance prizes for CBD oil tinctures to soothe the pain.

If the team is doing well, the community is usually in a better mood...if the team is a shit show, the community will be sometimes as well. I understand when posters get worn out by the negativity, but it also makes it difficult when you're a loyal fan of a team that has the overall culture of this one. This is so true! I like going to other teams board after they blow a big, get destroyed or having a bad season like the Bengals are having now. It is funny how familiar the comments are. They can’t make halftime adjustments, they can’t draft, they are not playing the right guys, defense playing too soft, the refs don’t want them to win, the training/medical staff sucks, run, run, pass punt how creative, game plan sucks.....etc.
