I'm happy we lost. Come tell me I'm a bad fan.

Would folks take back last year's season ending victory that knocked the Ravens out of the playoffs so we could move up a couple draft picks?

Agree with this.  I would rather beat the Steelers and drop down a pick or 2 just for the satisfaction.  And for what it's worth, I've NEVER pulled for the Bengals to lose.

That's a pretty bleak opinion, man.

If I shared that view, I can see how beating the Steelers or Browns would be the highest aspiration you have for your team.

Nope, that is your opinion.

What we have is two different issues.
Issue 1 is ALWAYS beating the Steelers and Browns.
If you are hoping to lose to these teams you need to have your head examined.

Issue 2 is Even if we get a new HC, it means absolutely nothing if we have the same mentality that Mike Brown has for owning the team.
Since, the NFL has moved to Free Agency, the players are no longer "slaves" to their teams, aka Whitworth. He had a number of teams courting him and the Bengals were not even close. In addition, the Facility of the Bengals don't compare with most other teams. And don't get me started in courting big star Free Agents. The last "big star" we courted was T.O. in 2010.

You're a bad fan, yet not nearly as bad as most.

Will pull for Bengals victory all day and twice on Sunday. 

Was very happy the Raiders were not playing for a draft pick last week as well.

Logically and without emotion:  how would I know that sitting in my living room at 7:30 last New Year's Eve as it was unfolding? 


But, lest I be accused of dodging the question, let me say this:  As a fan, who will be in attendance Sunday,  I want us to beat the Raiders. As a fan, who hates the Browns with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns, I want them to beat Cleveland.  And, Pittsburgh, don't even get me started.  So, yes, as a fan I want us to win out.  


Look, Mike is gonna Mike, no matter what, so gimme the Ws in the meantime.  And, at this point, Marvin gone equals Hue as HC anyway, you can book that.  So, if those are the choices, do you want wins and Marvin or losses and Hue?  That's an easy choice for me.
