101Airborne Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 After reading some articles and hearing what the players have to say, it seems that The Jungle has become quite a difficult place for opposing teams to play. This is not just backed up by a 7-0 record, but also by our league-leading record on preventing third and fourth down conversions (22.5%) and our league-leading point differential of 17.5 ppg. The Bengals are also second in scoring offense at home, beaten only by the Broncos. So, the question is, how much are the fans, traditionally maligned as they are, affecting home games? It seems the players give a lot of credit to the fans, which makes sense given the statistics and the home vs away record. Can Bengals fans finally throw off the assertion that they are sick, lame and lazy? Will yinzers finally cram it where the sun doesn't shine now that their own stadium is full of 'meh'? Is Cincy the next Seattle? Will Andy finally profess his undying love for Whitworth and leave AJ out in the cold? Stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 And on that note, the Ravens game has been declared a sell out. First time the Bengals have sold out all 8 home games since 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 At the Colts game where my little brother and I were in attendance, the place really did come alive on 3rd downs, I can tell you that with certainty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Per Reedy, 10,000+ tix still remaining for the first playoff game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincyhokie Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Playoff game tickets will go fast once people know when they are playing. I know I plan on going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I am seriously considering requesting some [conditional] leave just in case the Bengals host the AFC Championship Game. Not remotely likely I know (we'd probably need Indy or KC to knock off Denver and get through the divisional round on the road), but should it happen I want to be there. Even if costs me something obscene.But yes, PBS has made me proud this season. I have perhaps been one of this forum's loudest whiners when it comes to the general culture of the Bengals fanbase and their conduct at the stadium, and everyone has done wonderfully to shut me the hell up lately.

jjakq27 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Per Reedy, 10,000+ tix still remaining for the first playoff game.That's a shame. Hopefully once they get things settled this weekend they will sell a bunch. With the changing demographics and the video generation growing up, I think attending NFL games in person will become less important in the years to come.

The NFL needs to reassess their playoff ticket price policies. No prayer of being able to afford a face value Super Bowl ticket even if you were selected to get them./>http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-2014-super-bowl-ticket-price-20130917,0,6830560.story#axzz2oozxzNrK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Spend a grand to go to a Super Bowl? Super Bowls are garish, tacky spectacles that celebrate superficiality and stupidity. I want the Bengals to win one, I'll be glued to it on the tube. I wouldn't attend one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincyhokie Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 After we win the Super Bowl (whenever that is) you can find me at Fountain Square. That's really the only place I want to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoDey93285 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I'll never understand how a player as good as Burfict went unnoticed the way that he did. He is an absolute stud. Watching him snuff out that screen on that last drive...he has amazing instincts, don't know that I've ever seen him miss a tackle, he's a just an awesome, awesome linebacker.We are lucky to have him and even more lucky to have picked him up the way we did.

ArmyBengal Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I went to Super Bowl XVI with my Dad when I was 10, but both tickets didn't even cost us $100 total.That's going back to 1981 mind you, but dang.With that thought in mind, I would give serious thought to go again and taking my son if the Bengals made it that far.

Too old to weather the cold like that! If it were in a warm place, whole different ballgame!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Didn't see this mentioned, but during one of the pregame shows they mentioned in passing that the Bengals credit their success at home this year to the fact they practice on the field at PBS several times every week, and that this is something very few other teams do. It surprises me that's so. Maybe there's an advantage to not having a separate practice facility after all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Just a note on the whole sellout thing, Bengals say they still have more than 10,000 tix left despite brisk sales.Indy has 7,000+ plus tix remaining. Green Bay has 15,000.For the record, I am 100% certain that the Bengals will, in the end, buy up whatever number of tickets are necessary to get to a sellout. But they will milk the "OMG Blackout!" storyline for all it's worth to sell as many as possible. I have to credit the FO, they do this all the time and have become total masters at it.

101Airborne Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Just picked up my tickets and will be bringing about 10 people along with me. Hope to see some of you local folks there at the game. I've always wondered what you ugly sons-a-bitches look like behind your avatars.
