On to the next step

[derekshank]

I would like to point out that I find it humorous that anyone who frequents a fan forum at week 10 following a team with a losing record could be called a "bandwagon fan."

[walzav29]

great point

[HoosierCat]

And if we can't let's at least put a new spin on it because I'm tired of being called a lemming or a diehard. So with a tip of the cap towards the "Simpsons" I suggest we divides ourselves into two warring camps.

Under one flag we'll have the happy go lucky "Blind Homers".

Under another flag we can have the bar glass is half empty "Moe is We" crowd.

And those fans who can't decide which camp they belong in shall be known as "Maggie-pies" and must remain silent during all us-versus-them rants.

I like it! Put me down for "Moe is We" of course!

[NYBengalfan]

I guess you can put me down as a "blind homer" then. Cause Im not giving up. Anything can happen. Look at Sunday's game.

[Tasher]

Alright the Homers Got two!!!!!!!!! Who's commin with us

I never doubted it for a moment. In fact, I'd like to suggest that "Camp Moe is We" make their battle flag out of a wet blanket.

Alright the Homers Got two!!!!!!!!! Who's commin with us

Uhhh, I thought I was leading you. Doesn't that make us three strong?

Oh damn, who are the other two??? I know so far its Tasher and Myself for the Homers.

[Tasher]

For the uninitated, the great "real fan" debate was a perennial message board classic during the Lost Decade. Each year, as the Bengals' piled up losses, fans would begin to call each other names depending on how they saw the fortunes of the team. Fans who saw the season and playoffs as a lost cause were worthless bandwagoneers not fit to wear stripes. Fans who held on to hope despite all evidence were dismissed as "lemmings" and "sheepole" who continued to reward a broken franchise with their loyalty and money...

And if we can't let's at least put a new spin on it because...

Let the stupidity begin.

Hair declares the dividing lines and throws himself in amongst the Homers...

Okay, let me see if I can sort this out... Hair originally posted the idea and said "we...Blind-Homers" thereby including himself in the inaugural group. NYBengal then joined the Homers, followed by Tasher...

...thereby making three. Whew...

Ohhhhh!!!( Light goes on in head) I misread your post, Hair!!!!! OK we got three, nevermind!!!!!!!

Hair joined ahead of me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let the permanent record show that the Blind Homers can't count worth a damn....which no doubt comes in handy when you're trying to be positive about a team that has managed to win only four out of nine games.

No matter, our numbers grow.

Meanwhile, I just read a post that implied the Moe is We crowd has already begun writing off NEXT season.

Actually, we have written off season through 2079 so far...but there's always 2080!

Count me in! I think this "blind homer" group is growing by the hour. We are up to 1..2..yes, 4 now and it took four hours to do it. Glad to join the crowd.

[Jonboat]

Someone say Boobies ? Count me in ( Homers) !! The O-line played much better this week & if they can keep it rolling we'll see the O of last year, then anything can happen. I just hope Tory is one those subtle player changes Marvin alluded to.

...goes with the "blind" part...

"Looking at fingers, trying to count..."

One, two, ...

[NYBengalfan]

I'm sorry. Without a D, all my confidence is shot. I'll still have fun watching the O. My hopes are gone concerning playoffs this year.

BOOOO THIS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

No I could count, we got 5 now !!!!!! see last post.

It was tough though, I had to use my toes too!!!!!

[NYBengalfan]

Ok we have our first "Mag-Pie".

A Newbie to the zone. His name is Vol-Bengal.

[membengal]

Season's not over yet. Just sayin'.

[TJJackson]

Not "Moe is We"

It's "Woe is We"

Our theme song:

http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/g/...agonyonme.shtml

gloom, despair, and agony on me.....

deep dark depression excessive misery......

if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all......

gloom, despair, and agony on me.......

Count me in to wave the wet blanket flag.....if the Bengals players want to go to the playffs, they can buy tickets to the games just like the rest of us.

But I haven't written off next year - still need to see what injuries we end the season with, the draft, FA results, and whether or not Frostee the Slowman gets cut

[Stripes]

I don't like the options. There must be another choice aside from blind, pissy, and indecisive.

Well, you could also choose "drunk" (Barney), "snotty" (Lisa), "cranky" (Selma) or "bratty" (Bart).

Moe is We Forever!

[rishipatel]

Gotta add myself to the Blind Homers...after all how could I be in any other group with my avatar? That, and I actually believe the bengals still have a shot at the playoffs. Keep puttin up the points boys!

[BengalPimp]

............count me in as Homer #7..........

[Tasher]

Nice Sig Hoosier!
