I've spent thousands of dollars on games and merch. You'll have to excuse me from disregarding critiques from others on how to be a proper fan.

You'll have to excuse us, no one believes you are a Bengals fan.

...that is pretty unenjoyable to watch. I still will because it is the Bengals, but I don't feel the need to pretend it is enjoyable.

You are an actual fan though.

This dinking and dunking shit has got to stop. Take a shot down the field.

I guess you completely missed the part where Burrow has a calf injury and is not able to fully push off the leg yet. Or maybe you didn't, and your just a miserable troll....

I’ll catch some flack for this no doubt but this is what’s wrong with some sports fans and they are predominantly American.

Last couple of years Leeds have had an American head coach and several players who all turned out to be shite the American “fans” went from supporting Leeds to making jokes about us being relegated and how the Americans were too good for them despite em being the reason we were atrocious.

I’ve been in bars in Cincinnati when the Bengals were bad and locals saying they won’t go see them until they are good again! Which is bullshit.

You fall in love with a city good times and bad you don’t support the players you support the badge/team name on the shirt.

We all want to watch the Bengals stack up 50 points a game and get 10 sacks but life doesn’t work like that come the end of the game as long as we win Burrow could have 110 yards and 0 touchdowns and I wouldn’t give a damn.

Same here. It is what we had to do with our predicament, and it feels great in pulling out the ugly ones against a good team.

The Offense isn't there yet clearly, but the Defense is fun to watch, 6 sacks and getting turnovers from our Defensive Captain is awesome.

I guess the OP wouldn't like it if this were the 2000 Ravens team either.

Good question, if all you like is high scoring Offense and no Defense, that's your team.

Watch them fail once games really matter here later in the year. They have a great Offense with that speed, but if you have speed 
on the backend with good tackling like we have you can slow them down and the Phin's Defense does not impress me at all.

With our QB banged up and going against some of the best Defenses in the NFL. A win is enjoyable for me....

But to each their own.

Hey Man,

Being a fan means you have to enjoy whatever product they release to the public and never EVER complain about its quality or enjoyability. 

Not doing that means you're not a fan, because reasons.

You must be putting us on.

In which case he probably shouldn't be playing, but i'm not going to reignite that debate in this thread.

Pat Mahones ****** his shit up and he still manages to be entertaining.

We all complain, we complain a lot.  You b!tch in every single thread, you create posts that do nothing but complain.  There is a reason why everyone thinks you are a troll.  

If you dont like posting on message board unless you are pissed, fine, but most of us are not interested in your self therapy.  It's annoying and gets old.

My bad, did I reach my complain limit for the season? I had no idea.

I don't complain nearly as much as other posters here. 

But I couldn't care less about your bullshit rationale about disliking me. Just put me on ignore and move on if it bothers you so much.

Well go cheer for him then. I find watching Burrow use his intelligence to take what is there and what was available to him with his current leg issue to be quite enjoyable. And the fact you found no joy in the Defense last night just proves you were hoping for a loss so you could come in here and whine about 0-3.

You need to be banned, your troll activity is obvious.  My 8 year old is more mature than any adult trolling a message board.

You have to be joking. You haven't said a positive thing all year it seems like. You are completely miserable even after a win as 
you just shown with this thread. Even I complain and I am about as positive of a poster as it gets, but if you hate good Defense 
that is on you. These games happen and when we pull them out it is a great thing.

I really don't feel the need to prove anything to you, but feel free to look through my post history for yourself.

Are you expecting magic with a hobbled, rusty QB who clearly is the key cog of the offense?
This offensive personnel and scheme are not equipped to just shift into a great running offense or scheme a bunch of ways to compensate for what Burrow's going through.
Taylor's not a wizard like Kyle Shanahan or Andy Reid.

With the supposed best receiving trio in the NFL, Joe MIxon, and a much better O-line then we've seen in past seasons? I think we can expect more than one TD per game, yes. 

Colts were projected to be a bottom feeder team yet Uncle RIco can help them put up 31 points. A lot of the excuses we make for the Bengals don't seem to apply to anyone else, BUT the bengals.

Make it make sense.

I'd say that Euros are loyal to a fault. That's not something to flex on.

Imagine being a Manchester United fan this past decade and thinking that you should be fiercely loyal to that shitshow. There are some orgs in Europe that make MIke Brown look like Robert Kraft.

I'm a huge fan of opera. I've never once been to a full show; I turn off every opera song that comes across my radio; I don't like that most operas are in a language I can't speak; I find opera-style songs verrrrrrrrrrrrry boring; hell, I even fast forward through the bits on Victor Borge's videos where he's making fun of operas because they're too boring. 

How DARE you question my opera fanhood!
