It's depressing honestly every where I go people are clowning the bengals and it gets pretty annoying so I sit and ask myself why am I fan still?  And I honestly don't know why.

What they won't consider is that MAYBE 1 of those guys will be a starter in 2-3 years. Most of those guys will never be more than a special teams player.

There are plenty of people around these parts that could have been - or maybe at one time even were - Bengals fans, but they're Cowboys, Packers or Steelers fans now.  The mall was full of them today.  Being a front-runner is like falling out of a boat and hitting water.  That's why so many choose that path.  Being a Bengals fan is not for the faint-hearted or the impatient.  

Choose your path wisely.

Marvinball is real and you cannot win football games playing the gentleman angle that no one else adheres to.

This season has been an embarrassment and if we don't fire Marvin I'm literally not giving this team a 49th chance. Last offseason I literally couldn't even trick myself into getting excited. With losing to Pitt today and the state of this front office I just can't anymore. I'll give them one more chance to fire Marvin this offseason and if they don't I'm not watching any more Bengals games. I used to live in Tacoma Washington and it's a nice FO and fan base over there and Sherman is my fave player not on the Bengals.


I know someone is gonna say bye in that asshole tone but idc anymore.


I'm deleting this account if we don't fire Marvin Lewis. After 15 years it's clear to everyone but MB that he sucks. He'll never get another head coachin g job in the NFL after he leaves us


Iv tried to treat everyone with at least fake respect here so hopefully no one feels the need to destroy me. But I was on the old boards for a long time and now these boards and if you can tell anything you should be able to tell how big a fan I am of this team.

But it's at the point now where I gotta let go. I'd rather not watch football than root for the Bengals. I love football so the only other option is to pick another team

That's not even mediocre.
