Our celebration guru Chad Johnson is asking for a Bengals player to have a "flip a coin" celebration after they score. And call tails!
That would be freaking hilarious! and a snarky FU to the NFL too
All hopes turn to next year

I'll be disappointed if the team hasn't thought to do this tbh. Great idea.

Trent Taylor does backflips. Have him shand in front of whomever scores. That person does a coin flip gesture, Taylor flips.

I would imagine there would be a made-up personal foul on the extra point try....

Yeah. Whoever scores the TD has to run over to a teammate, who pulls an imaginary coin out of their pocket. They flip the coin while the TD'r stands there anticipating the outcome. Then the coin flipper looks at their hand, looks at the other player and throws their hands up, signaling a Tooooouch doooooooooooooowwwnnnnnnnn!
EDIT: NO, WAIT!!! After scoring the TD, the player has to look at a couple different teammates, who shrug their shoulder like, 'i don't know'. THEN they do the coin flip thing.

Save it for the Lombardi. When Goodell goes to hand it over, Taylor flips a coin...looks down, gives a thumbs up, then accepts the trophy.

Call off every game when someone gets injured. Broken bone? We have to grieve.. Sprained ankle? OMG! We can't handle that! Hemorrhoids? Someone's truly butt hurt! Where's their justice? If the Bengals start losing big to Baltimore someone should just drop over and play dead and claim some kind of brain injury..Let the league stick that in their pipe and smoke it.
Think about the precedents being set here, not just in sucky scheduling and elimination of seeding possibilities for just one team, but now any injured player can claim favoritism towards the Bills and Hamlin in particular.. Not trying to pick on the kid, but this certainly wasn't the first serious injury, not the first life threatening incident and damned sure won't be the last and if the league can screw the Bengals they can screw any team for any reason just because the owners don't like something.

The crowd would go bananas and it would be the greatest F U to Gooddell. If they find them, say, “you didn’t follow the rules, I’m not following them either” and don’t pay

I think every fan in the stadium should flip off the NFL. I volunteer to lead.

ESPN has a front-page article titled: "Sources: Bengals livid coin might take away home-field edge;
Here is the money quote: "The league told Cincinnati it should be happy it has been declared the AFC North winner, but the Bengals were furious the rules were changed on the fly and their playoff path intentionally altered."
T"he Cincinnati organization feels as if the Ravens have been given enhanced opportunities that the Bengals were not and believes it has been treated unfairly by the league. Cincinnati voted against the new playoff scenario that other NFL owners approved on a Zoom call Friday. The Bengals not only voted no but also voiced their intense opposition to the league -- to no avail"
"The proper process for making rule change is in the off-season," Blackburn wrote. "It is not appropriate to put teams in a position to vote for something that may introduce bias, favor one team over another or impact their own situation when the vote takes place immediately before the playoffs."

Absolutely NO REASON to follow NFL rules next season. Begin with wearing whatever special uniform and helmet combo we want. Opponent team's owner has to buy a ticket and sit in the stands if they want to watch the game, no free suite. I'm sure we can come up with many more ideas.

Basically that echos the sentiment expressed by Ian Rapoport on NFL Now yesterday. He essentially said “the Bengals vote against everything why should this be any different “

The stadium was pretty loud with boos during the opening flip.

I think a disgusting chant would have more of an impact.
