I still have that jacket Wyche is wearing. Let me tell you that back in the day, buying Bengal gear was like treasure hunting, hard to find specially in AZ. Unlike today.

The '88 victory over the Bills is what solidified me becoming a hardcore Bengals fan. Until we win a Super Bowl, it will always be my favorite Bengals moment.

I remember the Bills whining like a mule over the no-huddle. Then the very next season copying it and announcers acting like the Bills invented it.

I agree, the last 2 years are close but '88 season was the start of me becoming a hardcore Bengal fan!

Truth, it's one of those sports things I give too much attention to as a fan.
Give my Bengals the no huddle props, not the Bills!

It would be nice to have the Bengals and Forty Niners in the Super Bowl also.

Yea. His name escapes me at the moment, but the Bills had a d-lineman who kept falling down faking injury to interrupt our no huddle.

That was Joe Nash from the Seahawks, the week before.

Correction accepted. Thought that a Bills player did that.

Yep
Same for the "west coast" offense.

That's almost as bad as NO fans thinking that Who Dey was a play on Who Dat..

I don’t think the Bills needed to try that because the league outlawed it before the game…

You remember that big article, forget by whom? Joe from Flo posted on that on the Mother Ship oh maybe 06 ?
Anyways the cliff notes of it: Who Dat in New Orleans goes way back. But Who Dat used at Saints football games was not before Who Dey.

So Cincy started things that were perfected somewhere else.
West Coast Offense -70s
No Huddle Offense -80s
Zone Blitz Defense -80s
It was LeBeau's inability to teach his zone defense to the athletes that Mike Brown and the Bengals were drafting on defense that made me wary of signing Lou Anarumo. He went to the Steelers and perfected his Zone Blitz where they weren't drafting combine stars, they were drafting football players.
Makes me kind of sad for LeBeau as he was the last to be held down completely by Mike Brown. Marvin then was allowed to change a lot of things here for the better. Zac and Duke changed the draft's combine star approach and drafted actual football players, many of whom were college team captains.

Especially since Who Dey was a Bengals phrase coined after the local beer Hudepohl, Hudey for short. None of which has anything to do with New Orleans street scene or voodoo, or any other such ich.

They threatened to outlaw it at Marv Levy's insistence, but they did not do so. Wyche and PB stated that it had been used all season and was a competitive disadvantage to the Bengals to ban a season long practice during the post season. The league backed down. This was all within a few hours of kickoff.

He wrote the article himself, and he tried to use it as evidence in against any and all arguments against his stance.
I don't care if Who Dey is based on Who Dat or not, but I know for a fact I heard the Who Dat chant before the '81 season.

Dude...I know the pain. It was impossible in Chicago too back in the 80's and 90's. But, if it makes you feel any better, when I finally got to visit Cincinnati in '92 it was near impossible to find Bengals gear in Cincinnati too (Koch's downtown quickly became my mecca). Amusingly, I think I actually ended up finding Bengals stuff when I was in Phoenix back in '97.
Finding stuff back then was such an event, I still remember where I got each bit of my old Bengals gear, store and city.
That's awesome you've got that jacket. Apex iirc, or Pro Player? Always liked that one with the stripes around the back. Never found it myself.
