The Fan Mix

[BZBot]

Respect is something that you do not come across to often in the NFL anymore. Being in Cincinnati and a Bengals’ fan already sets you to a certain class of people that have been labeled as something far from classy and of course ignorant by other organizations in the past. This last game played on Sunday and the response heard from it however sheds new light on perhaps the worst fans and organization in the NFL.

I love this quote from the Steeler fan. Folks like CT claim they are "giving credit." Nah, this is a rational fan who pauses to see the game for what it is:

"On a day where Cincy played less than perfect, where they came INTO Pittsburgh banged up, where they took hard hits and kept on coming, they pulled together and found a way to win. I don't want to hear "Ben was off" or "Coke cost us the game" or any bulls**t like that. You win as a team, you lose as a team. For as many times as we had the lead and the momentium AT HOME, to lose it to a team that came in less than 100% says alot about both teams. The Bengals were hungry today and played like A TEAM. Pittsburgh didn't.

Carson took hits and should have been shaken. I give him all the credit in the world. He stood up to it and kept on playing tough. He is alot tougher than I ever gave him credit. Maybe last years injuries gave him more focus, I don't know. But any other year he would have buckled. This year he didn't.

I refuse to make excuses for this loss. The Bengals are the better team right now in the division. And unless we can overtake them and beat them next time to take the division back, THEY are the team to beat in the division right now.

So Congratulations, nice win, you earned it.”
