I got a tasty NC 5ver ......... I'll take my Steelers.... who wants to take the Bengals?

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Your only shot was Dan, he thinks they still have a shot at the Superbowl. ;)

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

The Bengals are just plain awful to start this game. I can't understand why Manning isn't tearing them apart. :bh

Where are you Dan? Plenty of opportunity to up your post count with football discussion.

Guess you'll have to wait for the 'Reds win! Reds win!' posts. :hm

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Dang, we almost won this game...

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

I bet they'd be 8-0 if the 1st half didn't count. Alas, it does!

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

the Bengals are number 1 every week in the BCS polls.....(Bengal Comedy Sunday)

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Are you serious? They looked like complete garbage and Indianapolis almost blew the game. It would be nice to see TO and Chad show up the same week. Gresham seems like the only one who was playing hard in the second half and made a rookie mistake. :bh

"It can get worse for the Bengals

On Sunday, the Bengals made history. As Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer points out, they are the first team in NFL history has led by 17 or more at halftime and loss by 18 or more.

The 35-0 second half score in favor of Buffalo was the Bengals’ single worst second half result in 43 seasons.

Amazingly, this 2-8 team hasn’t hit bottom yet. Consider what’s happening in the secondary, which was the one strength of the team.

Safety Cris Crocker looks to be out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. Excellent starting cornerback Johnathan Joseph (knee) is “out for the foreseeable future.” Safety Roy Williams (concussion) and Brandon Ghee (groin) also left the game early.

If the season ended today, the Bengals would have the third pick in the draft. Their next head coach can enjoy that decision.

In the meantime, we’re stuck watching the Bengals on the nightcap to Thanksgiving’s trifecta of mismatches. All three games feature a team 3-7 or worse facing a team 7-3 or better."

So what Joe Reedy is sayin' is that the Bengals are Record Setters!!!!! :noon :banger :=:
I actually am somewhat enjoying watching the games this season. As a lifelong Bengals fan I used to get upset on Sunday with crap gameplay etc. This year, I've decided that it's pointless...I laugh at the numerous mistakes. Hey, just lose out, get a great draft pick that you'll screw up as usual. (aka Andre Smith, Chris Perry, Peter Warrick, Akili Smith, Ki-Jana Carter, David Klingler, ahem, Carson Palmer)

It's all good! T.O. says it best (at least someone opens their mouth and speaks the truth, god knows our beloved couch won't) "What's crazy is the fact that we're just terrible. That's just plain and simple. When I say we, that's me included. Let me look you in the eyes and emphasize -- we are terrible. Terrible. I have no answers for you. I have no sound bytes for you. All I know is, right now, we are terrible."

Well done T.O., I totally applaud you for once in your life! :chr

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

We need to draft a QB in the draft.

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

There, I fixed it for you.

It is also time to cut loose Chad and TO and start over with some team players. While they're at it: Smith, Rucker, Fanene, Benson. I hate to give up on Carson when part of this seasons debachle is a lack of consistent effort on the outside. :sh

Jeff Fisher might be on the job market, depending on whether he or Vince gets cut. Tony Dungy and John Gruden might also be interested in coming back. Gruden would be a good fit to instill some sort of discipline in the team instead of just allowing them to run wild. :tu

The biggest key would be cutting Mike Brown and hiring a GM and a recruiting/scouting department. :2

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Well said Adam! Come to think of it, I haven't seen any of those "In Marvin We Trust" shirts being worn recently. :sh LOL

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Dan still wears his daily. :r

There is going to be a lot of people upset with all their Marvin Lewis merchandise. I am not sure he has ever been a good head coach, just a perfect storm last season that saved his job. :tu

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

I live in Buffalo, and I just want to say thanks for ruining my dreams of the #1 overall draft pick

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

^ I really hope so. Dude still doesn't know if he wants us to be a running or passing team.

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Wow, after 5 years, I'm not the only one saying that. Even the homer of all homers is starting to turn. Now if only we could get Dan some actual sports knowledge. :hm

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

I was never a fan of Bratkowski.

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

I've been saying it for years Adam, however, there's a lot more in that tree that needs to come down! It's best to start with the first rotting limb.

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

You are a liar. Just like you probably 'never liked the Andre Smith pick'. :rolleyes:

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Well Marvin is now a lame duck (I guess you really NEVER know with Mike Brown), which means his entire staff is gone. I predict OL coach Paul Alexander stays, they try and re-hire D-coordinator Mike Zimmer and he balks at it unless he can fill out his own staff. The problem with the whole staff is they are all 'Marvin's guys' and most of them suck. Hugh Jackson (Oakland OC) peaced out 5 years ago and they haven't made significant firings in 4 years. This staff was filled with stale, bad coaching and I am interested to see who the new staff (and team for that matter) will include. :hm

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Maybe the Bengals had a shot at winning this one against the Jets. Kind of like how Dan wasn't worried last year about how they were drug the week before the playoffs and then got drug in the playoffs. :hm

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Man, Marvin doesn't have a clue what is going on. Why not challenge that the ball hit Caldwell's helmet?

Welcome to the Turkey of the Year awards, with your host David Fleming.

I knew if I did this Turkeys of the Year column long enough, T.O. and I would eventually agree on something. Well, after 14 years it finally happened.

Last week, after the Bengals' epic, gutless collapse against the once 0-8 Bills -- they blew a 21-point lead and were outscored 35-0 in the second half -- Terrell Owens called his 2-8 team "terrible."

Took the words right outta my mouth. Now, I ask you, how bad do things have to be for T.O. to become the voice of reason on your team?

Pretty bad.

In fact, the 49-31 blowout loss gave Cincinnati a league-worst seven-game losing streak while assuring the Bengals would continue to have just two winning seasons in the last 20 years. Ya know how many winning seasons the Lions have during that stretch? Six.

It gets worse. Brad Childress was one stupid play by Brett Favre from taking the Vikings to the Super Bowl last season. Ten months later? He's gone. But in Cincinnati there's still talk of a possible contract extension for coach Marvin Lewis, who in eight long years is 58-65-1 and still looking for his first significant win.

His Bengals start slow, they play sloppy, they don't protect the ball, they can't pass, tackle, cover, kick or punt, they don't adjust well on the fly, they're inconsistent and uninspired and they just got beat down on their home field (minus the 10,000 fans who sat home, unable to stomach the game in person) by one of the worst teams in the NFL.

Other than that, though, I don't see any reason to change a thing. I rarely do this: Bengals fans, I feel for you guys, I really do.

Which is why I've decided to break with tradition this year and nominate the entire Cincinnati Bengals franchise -- stubbornly playoff win free since 1990! -- for the Flem File's 14th annual Turkey of the Year Award.

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Because he doesn't care. He doesn't run the team, the high-paid players do. :td

Not that it made a damn bit of difference, they are still the worst team in the NFL.

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

At least the Bengals weren't the worst team on the field this Sunday. :tu

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

I beg to differ. My Panthers hold that title this year. We even lost to Jake Delhomme today.:D

Number one draft pick, here we come!:banger
At least the Reds had a good season. :sh

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

:banger

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Have you seen a Bengals game? :confused::td

The Panthers have injuries and still look more competitive than the Bengals. Plus how many records for futility have the Panthers set thus far? The Bengals set at least one against the Bills. :rolleyes:

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

1-10 is worse than 2-9.

Otah is the main injury that is hurting us right now. No o-line hurts us a lot. Deangelo Williams is out too, but his numbers sucked this year in what little he played. Our main problem is that we have too many young players. A new QB and no real receivers other than Steve Smith. You guys have the talent, but can't put it together to get a W.

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

The Bengals are now officially a high school team and the worst coached team in football. I can't believe Dan hasn't been post whoring his pre-season Super Bowl favorites after the latest debachle. Seriously, who jumps offsides on a hard count where you KNOW they are trying to draw you offsides? :bh

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

I really can't believe there are still some football experts out there who think that Marvin's job is only "in jeopardy". If he keeps his job after this season and his entire body of work, everyone should cease to be a Bengals fan because Mike has officially gone insane. :td

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Mike brown is officially insane.

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

The Reds have won a game more recently than the Bengals. Welcome to another lottery pick, please don't draft another Smith (Akili or Andre). :tu

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

I would like the Bengals get Cam Newton. What do you think Adam?

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Not an NFL QB. :2

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

At least all the Bengals fans still have the T.Ocho show :r

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

At least one decent thing came out of that show. Owens finally blamed Marvin and the staff for their problems. He may be an arrogant ass sometime, but sometimes he is right. :tu

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Bengals might find a way to completely screw up this season. Win three games at the end, save Marvin Lewis' job and get a much worse draft pick. :bh

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Who-Dey! :r

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Number one draft pick to Carolina is looking better all the time!:r

:wo:wo

Votto for MVP and Luck to Carolina! Thank God for Cincy!

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

On a side note, I see Dan is too embarrassed to change his avatar from the Reds to the Bungles this year.:r

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Very true! :tu :r

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

I saw it all yesterday! I went to the game yesterday...not that I want to contribute to Mike Brown's pocket by any means. My uncle bought us tickets before the season started because my cousin that lives in Orlando came up for Christmas and wanted to goto the game. Anyhoot, it was an entertaining day to say the least. It was COLD! We tailgated w/ a buddy of mine who's friend owns a hurst (not everyday you tailgate at a hurst, almost ironic as the Bengals are playing their way into the grave) Drank some beers, smoked some cigars. In the 4th quarter, I almost saw THE accident that tends to occur a few times a year in pro sports. We were in row 5 in the upper deck, some young mid-twenties drunk sitting 3 seats over, passes out while standing and proceeds to flip over 4 rows and land on his face with his legs dangling over the rail to the lower deck. (what was strange was that I just happen to look over at the right time and witness the entire thing. (the seats were all empty in front of him....go figure) he literally laid there for 20 seconds or so before he came to, still holding his beer, as his buddies rush to assist him, he sits upright and takes a swig of his beer, and in confusion, says, "what happened?" REALLY???
Another rare treat was.......THE BENGALS WON! Get outta town!?! As we proceed to walk to the car I was AMAZED at the amount of Bengal fans that were harassing the Browns fans................REALLY? The Bengals went on a 10 game losing streak (83 days, 23 hours and 53 minutes to get their third win of the season) And you stupid fans are going to harass fans of a better team after a season like this???? WOW!

just my experience, it was a fun one!

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Yes it was a interesting football day.
I think you meant to say Hearse and not Hurst Steve :)

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

I am glad you had fun Steve! At least you got to see a winner! :tu

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

One of the reasons I rarely ever go to the game anymore (I stopped getting season tickets a couple years ago) is the stupid drunks that attend the game. I never have understood why some people get so trashed on $8 beers that they won't even remember the experience.

The one year I had season tickets some jackass trash threw up behind me and the puke rolled down into our row. He kept puking. Finally I turned around to his buddy and said "Get him out of here before I knock him the f--k out" Everyone else basically said the same thing. Finally they got the hint and left.

Last year I went to a Bengals game with Christos (GreekGodX) and these trash people showed up and every other word was f--k and there were children in the row. I asked them to shut up and they said "f--k you, we are wasted!"

:td

Re: WHO DEY!!!! Bengals fans check in!!!!
 

Sadly, all these teams care about is $$, so they'll keep serving beer to people who can barely walk anymore. I always found it humorous that the Reds cut off beer sales after the 7th inning(at least they used to) so people would buy five beers for those last few innings without so much as a raised eyebrow from anybody. Indeed, what's the point of being so smashed you remember nothing, what's the fun being around such people?
