Ridiculous thread is ridiculous.
This fanbase went through the worst 12 year stretch in NFL history ('91-'02). Yet when Marvin Lewis was hired, it gave people hope and we managed to sell out 57 straight games starting in '03. We peaked in '05 and the city was electric. We thought we finally had a squad that was going to do something. So what happened after that? We missed the playoffs for 3 years in a row. Then we rebounded for one season. Then we went 4-12 again, retained our head coach again, and our star QB demanded a trade. Then there was that pathetic press conference. Mike Brown destroyed people's delicate trust and confidence in him and this franchise. It is utterly ridiculous that anyone would expect that trust to be repaired overnight. People have now seen this song and dance. A wild card loss followed by 1-3 losing seasons isn't going to cut it anymore. People want to see progress. Or at least see an owner who cares enough to make changes after a 4 win season.

Regardless, are there any excuses that would be valid 'to not be a fan' [which I would argue is totally independent of going to a game] in your opinion ? |

Stop complaining about the fans. We're just smart enough to not put our hard earned money towards that hot garbage called a football team. |

As I stated in my previous post, we had no trouble selling out 57 straight games (and we've sold out quite a few since), but people are still fed up with Mike Brown and the inconsistency of this franchise. When NFL teams have terrible seasons, they are supposed to make changes. Mike Brown does not. The whole lesson here? If you have less fans to work with, you'd better not tick them off by being a) cheap, and b) content to retain coaches who underperform. All the while almost doubling the price of your most affordable tickets.

If I see another thread insulting the fans, I just might puke. This team has done nothing to maintain or grow its fan base. They should be thrilled that they have any fans left at all.
This is not a chicken and the egg situation. Winning solves all. If they ever put a winning team on the field, the fans will be there visiting fans at PBS will diminish. It doesn't work the other way. Sorry this is supposed to be for entertainment. If the team is not entertaining, then why should we the fans show up.

I hope there are only 10,000-15,000 fans in that stadium from here on out. I was looking forward to coming to one or two games this year, but I can tell you that DEFINITELY is not happening. I hope the rest of the season is blacked out so I dont waste my sunday afternoons on the BUNGALS! |

My theroy-The bengals have always looked at COA's and seats as an "investment," meaning that the ultimate goal of the seat owners is not to support the local team, but to make money.If that's so why wouldn't they sell their seats at a premium when Steeler fans travel once a year, or when the Packers were here-you would have thought that Lambeau moved south for a day-some of those people never get to see the "the Pack" because of the waiting list in Green Bay, but they were willing to pay a premium price to see them at PBS. So why the shock? Ian

Caddie:
Where you at Paul Brown Stadium Sunday night? I do not live in the Cincinnati or Ohio area (Eastern Ontario) but saw opening week at M & T Bank Stadium and Week (I believe) 14 at Lincoln Financial Field. These are the win/loss numbers since my fandom of the Cincinnati Bengals began (the National Football League draft of 2003) - 72-78-1 and three playoff losses........mediocre at best. Could this be one reason that fans will not spend money on tickets (Paul Brown Stadium tickets) to witness mediocre performance and losses. |

When Mike Brown dies or builds a dynasty, I will by a home game ticket. I'm tired of buying tickets and watching my beloved team loose. I have also supported the bengals at multiple away games. I have taken the s**t talk from NY to stadiums as far as Dallas. Our fans need to be more ruthless and not be as inviting to our opponents. Until you have been to Pit, Buf, Bal, NJ, Cle, or Dallas. We are laid back fans that want to be sportsman. Well that is not the rest of the NFL. Get the hell out and see an away game. You will not feel comfortable and probably not want to go back to someone else home.

If you have this much **** to talk about your own team you need to try something else. Absolutely ridiculous. Cool being a fan gives you room to gripe. However if all you have is ill will and hate go ahead and GTFO!!!! I will get up in a Bengals fans face for calling our team the Bungles... It is a disrespectful term coined by others. It is the bengals equivalent to being racist against your own race. If you honestly don't want to support this team don't but then don't come on the boards don't wear the jerseys just get lost!!! We don't need your negative hate. The team slipped pretty big time but it is an extremely young offence. I put up no excuse for the D. However I have patience I get mad and then I get over it. It is just a game something to enjoy and kill time on. If all you do with that time is hate, gripe, *****, and moan the go somewhere else most of us are tired of hearing your ****. Quote:
I wear my colors with pride and the pride I wear them with has people come up to me with compliments and not insults and those who insult get insulted right back. Pride means a lot. I don't have pride for Mike Brown, nor a respect. He needs to let football people play football. However I do respect support and have pride for Andy Dalton, AJ Green, Mohamed Sanu, Marvin Jones, Geno Atkins, Michael Johnson, Carlos Dunlap, Vontaze Burfict, Domata Peko, Kevin Zeitler. and many others...

Here is an ideal! If you do not like the people of Cincy, the Bengals fan base, or whatever .... root for another team! I'm sure there are many others closer to where you live! Problem solved...on to the next thread.

Why does it come to this every year? Fans bickering amongst each other. Players, SOME COACHES, not all, come and go....and yet, year after pitiful year, there's one constant : Mike Clown. Direct your anger at him, not the fans, not the players, not some of the coaches. I am die hard, but son of Paul will never see another dime of mine as long as mediocrity or failure is status quo...

You ever think that maybe, just maybe, the reason I am so cynical is because I care too much? That it drives me crazy to see a team/city I love fail so often? No, it is just easier to say I am not a true fan. Simple questions, for the "few" Bengal fans that did show up...did they get their money's worth? Did the Bengals deliver? Did they give the fans reason to come back again?

However I will tell the people that keep calling their own team **** or just continuing to bashing it. To stfu and sit down. Oh and you are from Springfield. LOL WTF do you care about what I say about ***holes from the Nati. I am not bashing all of the Nati just the fans that can't stop from being filled with hate. Quote:
Your pride is in question when you can call your team pieces of **** and the bungles and show nothing but hate. Pride forsakes hate sir. A prideful man will carry his pride in the face of all adversity no matter how tough it gets. I don't fault you for wanting a quality product put on the field that is not the issue. It is the way you go about it. You do so in a hate filled angry manner.

I'm a fan of this team, and I will follow it until the day I die (unless it's sold to another city), but if Mike Brown wants another cent of my money, he had better put out a consistent winner on the field. Money's tight as it is, and I'm not about to blow it on an inferior product when it could be put towards something more useful or something more consistent in its entertainment value. Unfortunately, he's had twenty years to put together a consistent winner and has unapologetically failed up to this point. I don't have much hope that he'll ever figure it out.

Yes the Steelers have many front running "fans" that are not from Pittsburg-same as the Pack and Indy and some others. Yes before Cincinnati and DAYTON were Browns towns-Dayton still is to an extent-because Cincinnati did not have a team until the late 60's and they were AFL for the first years, so I can understand that. The main crux of my arguement your missed, which was why did these Steelers fans have great seats? I totally understand fans coming to support their team but why weren't they in the cheap nose bleed sections. This should be a horrible embarrassment to Ownership, and the terrible truth is Its not!

2) I find it hilarious that you think I am filled with hate and anger based on an internet message board. You truly do not know me at all. What angers me is people like you who want to blame the fans for this team's failures. 3) My post was not about the city of Cincinnati failing. What I meant is that the team carrying the name "Cincinnati" keeps failing. I have no idea what you have against this city. I love it here. If a team is going to wear the name across the chest, I'd prefer them to stop being the joke of the NFL. 4) You never answered my questions. "Loyalty is essential for genuine family solidarity. But blind loyalty leads to family dysfunction."

Caddie, the "rah-rah sally" act has grown tiresome. Put down your pom-poms sweetheart and quit being so gullible.
With Mike Browns Bengals, incompetance is the norm and mediocre is celebrated. With Mike Brown, that will never change. Never. Those that refuse to attend Bengals games should be hailed. Those that do attend are essentially telling Mike Brown "hey I am fine with what you are doing." Twenty-two years with no end in sight. |
