On the bright side, I've never attended a regular season loss, and was even on hand for the 1st win in 2008..... so there's that. 
Best to avoid a game this year then. Don't want to knock the Bengals from getting the top pick!
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Its not all about the money, when its a nationally televised game and the stands look like that, he's getting a nasty phone call or email from the league front office. It's embarrassing for everyone, the players, fans, coaches, owners and the league.

We're never going to be the Patriots, but it's got to get really, really ugly here before it will get better.
He did enough to get us to back off a little. Clearly were back to where we were in the late 90's. I must have been too young to really care back then but to me it seems like the team/fan relations are at an all time low.

Nobody is looking at the silver lining in all of this and that is that the Bengals by law cannot hold a gun to our heads to force us to be fans of the team.. See? It's a win /win!
On the other hand we could all demand to be shot.. Our team would still suck, but at least we wouldn't have to think about it anymore.

The bottom line is the only thing MB is concerned about. TV money, money from fans in the seats, and merchandise affect his bottom line. The league gives him enough tv money to be profitable so the only way the fans can hurt his bottom line is to not buy tickets and merchandise. I seriously don't think you will be seeing the Bengals on prime time games for a few years.

Unless it's NE and Tom needs to make a payment on one of his " I can play forever because I do X" businesses..

Im a fan and I don't even want to watching this team at 1pm on a Sunday when I dont have anything going on, theres no effing way the league is selling a MNF or TNF game to me featuring the Bengals.

All joking aside, it takes some long term suckage and apathy to legitimately build a home field disadvantage, but here we are.

Yep, looks like someone was actually blocking for Dalton.

Meanwhile I keep getting calls from the Bengals trying to sell me tickets. Like 3-4 times a week.
