Your scale is flawed.
On the dimension of 'am I still a fan'-of course I am. This will be the case until I die. I never choose to be a Bengals fan, but here I am and I can't help it. I would never root for another team.
On the dimension of 'confidence in the organization'-this is at an all time low. I have no expectations that they will be competitive for the foreseable future.

I didn't vote. None of the above is what i would considering myself. I'm not on any bandwagon, so those options leave me out. I'm not "excited" about playing a supersoft schedule, I want to play the best and beat the best, though we should win more with a softer schedule. We are making progress, for the worst. I don't think we are going to a Superbowl next year.
I'm here win or lose. I'll still watch the team play and wear what Bengals gear I have, but I won't purchase any new gear or give the franchise any money until things change for the better. I will probably become a rich man with Mike Brown at the helm.

I am in the " wont renew my NFL Sunday ticket or give my money to anything NFL related for fear of putting a dime in mike browns pocket"
I will still watch at a bar or something. In jeans and a T-shirt that bears no mark of the bengals.

You left off: The Owner doesn't care about this team so why should I?

0.. Zero, numb and not excited anymore.
Go Reds!

Probably just seemed too obvious to even bother saying.

best offseason in 20 years, people are starting to wake up and see whats happening, sometimes it takes rock bottom and this has to be close as rock bottom for even the staunchest of homers, mikey will have a tough time digging himself out of this hole.
What a string of events :smile:
Worst press conference of all time announcing that nothing is going change in which Marvin was publicly neutered and humiliated.
Benson says he isn't coming back if Brat comes back
Brat says he is going to keep on keeping on doing what he does
Chad says he wants to play for the Patriots
Carson says he wants to be traded or he's retiring
Marvin says Belichec isn't dumb enough to take Chad and the next day says Chad will probably be back (guess marvin is dumb enough :lol:)
and the Cherry on top Chad challenges his head coach to a cage match! :lol::lol::lol::lol:
You can't write a better script, Lance said its like a dumpster fire and I disagree, its like a circus tent on fire, clowns are running out with their hair on fair :smirk:

Yea...you couldn't write a better script for these offseason events. HBO or someone should be taping this drama unfold. It's pure hilarity.
The line about Chad wanting to challenge Marvin in a cage match is pure win! :thumbsup:

Is this a football team or a soap opera ????
Not really sure anymore, but I do feel like we were close last year. Mike showed the ability to spend money on FA and Draft well, but dumb mistakes keep happening.
A. Bryant's knee is non functional, TO paired with Ocho was a disaster, although TO put up numbers but he ruined this team. Everyone else passed on him, knew he was a head case, but we got desperate for that missing piece from 2009, the other receiver, and got burnt.
So as far as my " level of fandom, I’m waiting to see how the Carson mess is handled, If Chad is back, what FA are signed, and how the draft goes, .....
Yea I drank to much Kool-aide, and I still have hope :ninja:

I voted 3. Being off the bandwagon doesnt mean you quit being a fan. It is just a total staement of disapproval with the way the team is going. Before the Carson ttrade demand I was a 4 or a 5 now im down to 3 now. by the end of next season I may be a 1 dont know how long I can continue to hold on. I may wind up at some point putting 31 teams in a hat pulling 1 out and they become my new favorite team. Ive held on to the team for a long time now but with Mike running the show I know it wont change until hes out of the picture

Even though I'm angry, frustrated and no longer sporting any Bengals gear or doing anything to help Mike Brown, I'll still watch the games on TV or online and cheer if they actually score a TD.
