I don't go to the same places they do - nor do I get impressed by their cars, houses etc. I would however be impressed with rings. Super Bowl rings. We need to start playing to win and you just cant do that without guys like this. I bet if you ask Huber, Gio, Palmer and Keith rivers about their cheap shots, I feel they would all agree. We need some bad hombres on our team.

When we lost to the steelers in the playoff game, those who were watching the game while posting in the game day thread felt an enormous hate. There was a strong sense of "who cares if we ever beat Pittsburg again, we should play to hurt them and end their season. It was there, it was strong.

Don't let go of the hate. Bengal lives matter!

The Bengals don't NEED on-field intimidators, they don't NEED thugs, they need great players that can win a championship. At the end of the day, no one remembers how you won, just that you won.

Burfict plays hard on the field. Atkins does. Unfortunately some of our guys would rather trash talk with opponents than deliver a hard hit.

You rarely see Harrison trash talking.

He reminds me of the recovering alcoholic who had no confidence in the movie "Hoosiers." Joey Porter intervened in our playoff loss to Pittsburgh and cost us the game. Don't think he didn't study and know what his last ditch effort could be in causing a Bengals defense meltdown? They won the game, he paid a very small fine which was probably reimbursed from the team. Good Lord man! Pittsburg is relentless and I tell you they study all aspects of the competition. You think they just watch game film of players all week? They know our weak spots and how to exploit them.

The good teams are smart and mentally tough.   They get tougher and smarter as the game goes along.  That's what I want to see.  It's one of the reasons I don't think we should get rid of Erickson.  He's smart and mentally tough.  Minter also sounds like that kind of player.  The more of these guys we have the better.

Yes - outside the box thinking is also what is needed. We fail to make adjustments during a game and play the same frigging gameplan all game long. My point is also that we need bad hombres to keep it honest. Eye for an eye type shit. Makes a team or player think twice about taking out one of your stars, because if they do? There are guys are going to retaliate on your guys and things will get ugly (mush like its been the last few years).

As a promotional stunt, the next Bengal Steeler game should be surrounded by prison guards. LOL.
