Actually, I'm amazed at how good we all get along in there. 90% of what goes down is a good-natured give and take between us. Emotions can run hot at times and there can be some weird takes, but it's still mostly good. The problem lies in the other 10% of the time, with the same posters with the same axes to grind going after one another like they do in JN. I'm not pointing fingers, but It's getting to the point that when you see a certain poster make a post, you know their "arch-nemesis" will be along directly to stir the shit and start an argument. Then it's up to the rest of us to try and keep the focus on the game and ignore their shenanigans.
All that being said, personally speaking, I find it's still the best way to watch a game on a Sunday, especially when living in a home with a wife and a cat who are mostly indifferent to the game.
When it comes down to it, we are all Bengals fans here no matter what you say in the moment. People deal with emotion differently.. I live in PA with no Bengals fans around. It's the only way I can watch the game with other Bengals fans...
