Someone convince me to stay - PhilHos - 01-02-2018
I'm one of those that said if Merv comes back I'm done with the Bengals. Here's the thing: I never expected him to come back.
Now, I truly don't want to root for the Bengals anymore. But, I've never switched team loyalties before and I don't know if I can do it.
Thus, I leave it to you, my fellow (as of now) Bengals fans, someone convince me to stay a fan. I want to be like Mike: too lazy to make the effort to change.
Thanks in advance.

All you can do is see what coaching changes are made (if any) and make a decision from that.
Me? Can't get emotionally invested in this team so long as he's here. Win, lose, I don't give a shit.

Mike Brown gives Zero Fux about you. He doesn't deserve your loyalty.

Please don’t go until the entire new coaching staff is in place. Let’s see what Marvin’s new level of hiring responsibility produces.

There is no way I'm going to try to convince anyone to stay. I wouldn't wish being a Bungles fan on my worst enemy.
RE: Someone convince me to stay - Sled21 - 01-02-2018
Just do what I'm doing. I'll still watch them on network tv, and even root for them. I will NOT be spending any money at the stadium or the pro store.... except on my Viking gear..... Might as well have an NFC team, this chit show is continuing....

TBH, the only reason I can't completely quit this team are you all. The people I've chatted with on here and the OG board over the past decade+ have been awesome. It's why I think the best I can do is quit actively watching games.
Unless....the entire message board agrees to move to a new team?! YES?!?!?!

The nachos are good. Sometimes.
RE: Someone convince me to stay - RoyleRedlegs - 01-02-2018
No. Leave. It's honestly a joke at this point. **** this team. **** the owner. Go Reds.
RE: Someone convince me to stay - bfine32 - 01-02-2018
Meh, no one needs to convince you to come back, you will; as will everyone else that says/said they are through.

Re-hiring Marvin with his record is a complete and utter joke. It does not matter what ordinary group of assistants they end up with.
Alexander will be back and if so that seals it for me.
Whoever said that Mike does not deserve the loyalty of the longest suffering fans in pro sports- is exactly right.
Mike Brown refused to cut Bodine- the worst center in the league for several years- because he did not want to lose a penny.
That in a nutshell sums up Mike's priorities. Pinching every penny and taking care of his family- including Marv and Alexander- are his priorities. not winning or showing loyalty to Cincinnati or the fans.

Run while you can. F this clown show. I'm thinking Mike Zimmer's Vikings aren't too bad... or maybe it's just time to take a break from the NFL entirely. FCC beat some MLS teams last year, and that was pretty exciting to watch.

How will ANYTHING Mike Brown gives Marvin control over improve Marvin's clock management, halftime adjustments, passiveness with a lead, Prime-Time performance, Postseason performance, or attitude towards young talented players?

If this is true we are all dopes.
It is not going to be true of season ticket holders or other people who buy tickets.

Just curious, over the last 15 years, which coaching 'hire' wasn't Marvin's choice?

Maybe in year 35 Marvin will finally agree with the rest of the world that half-time adjustments are a thing

You are so close. Run and don’t look back! I hope I can escape someday!

He inherited Paul Alexander.
RE: Someone convince me to stay - Awful Llama - 01-02-2018
The next two years will be completely different than the previous 15. That would be Mike convincing you to stay.

Here is why you stay; you don't leave your team because it's not what great fans like yourself do. Do you really want to be "that guy" that everyone thinks your fan of the Bengals but then you tell them naw I am a fill in the blank fan. Then they give you the look like you just returned your dog to pound because he is now a senior. You will never enjoy that new teams success because you will never be truly invested in that teams success. Yes being a Bengal fan sucks but it's a part of you and your identity.

Well to be fair the Bengals have really never set attendance records. I doubt this move will do much to those that want to go enjoy the game. To many the game is just part of the experience.
Folks are just mad and venting right now; they'll be back or never leave.
