I hope you can accomplish what we never could at the old message board.
In September 2005, the Bengals launched a message board on their web site. As luck would have it, that would happened to coincide with the team's first playoff season in 15 years. It certainly drove a lot of traffic to the forum, building the conversations up to a crescendo that hit its peak in January 2006 with a playoff game against the Steelers that unfortunately featured our backup quarterback. We all know how that played out.
A decade later (still seeking that elusive playoff victory), here we are with a brand new message board during a season that finds our team in the playoffs once again and sending a backup quarterback against the Steelers in the opening round. Sports, as we know all too well by now, is not without a sense of irony....and, sometimes, cruelty.
Hopefully, this message board provides a bit of luck or good karma that the other one lacked. It would be nice if this forum did not have to deal with the same angst & frustration during its first offseason. There are a large majority of very good people here who deserve better.
Who Dey!
