Stripes Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Joe's acceptance speech was extremely brief. This guy does not care and is focused on something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earendil Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Zac only got two votes? That's downright criminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted February 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Honestly that Chase and Burrow won is a miracle imo. Bengals still get no respect nationally. But as I’ve said before, that’s fine. Keep going with the narrative that pisses Burrow off. See how that works out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Andrew Whitworth is Walter Payton Man of the Year. That is genuinely awesome. Super Bowl Sunday aside, that's a big deal that should be a huge feather in his Hall of Fame cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted February 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Well deserved. https://twitter.com/nfl/status/1491995222594637835?s=21 I will never forgive the FO for letting him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a better career than Tony B. Both are deserving, but the Bengal gets snubbed somehow. A franchise that has never won a conference AND has existed for a far shorter time now has an equal amount of HOFers as the Bengals. Just amazing how NFL national media holds this narrative over the Bengals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 2 hours ago, AMPHAR said: Just amazing how NFL national media holds this narrative over the Bengals. It really is. A consistent narrative during this media week (2 weeks) has been “Cinderella story here, the Bengals were horrible forever, a doormat. Fact - last ten years of AFC North - Bengals won 3 championships, Ravens won 3 championships, Steelers won 4 championships. Ten years before that - Bengals won 2, Ravens won 3, Steelers won 5. We weren’t the Patriots, but we were far from the narrative. From a PR standpoint, Palmer’s act really hurt us. All those prime time losses under Marvin REALLY hurt us. But facts are facts. We weren’t a bad football team at all. 5 division championships in the last 20 years? I wonder how that stacks up against the league average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted February 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 For the national media, the only part of the last 10 years that exist are the five straight playoff losses (ha ha bungles suck lolol). The team is defined by the 90s, when they were legitimately bad and management was at its absolute worst, and the Aughts, when the team was better but only came into the national spot light for two playoff losses (ha ha bungles suck etc) and a seemingly endless string of arrests and related shenanigans at Fr. Mike's Home for Wayward NFL Players (player on another team gets in trouble, ha ha, he'll be a bungle next week lolol stupid bungles). If the win Sunday, of course it will be called a fluke. The Bengals being good is like pigs flying, a ludicrous, impossible thing. If the lose, obviously they shouldn't have been there in the first place. Only happened because the refs handed them the games, lucky bounces, weak schedule, yadda yadda yadda (ha ha bungles suck lol). Only way to break the chain is to not only win Sunday, but keep winning next year and the next. Shove W's down their throat until they choke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 In the eyes of some, it will never be enough. I have long since gotten over the fact that some people are just assholes. I don't care and is part of the reason I haven't been paying attention to all the talking heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 A ton of people in the media have already invested a significant amount of time and intellectual capital in portraying and believing in the notion that the Cincinnati Bengals are a bad, dysfunctional franchise. It hasn't been true for at least a decade (I'd argue longer), but that isn't going to be enough to inspire someone to introspect or pay any actual attention to what happens in Cincinnati. To do so only invites the potential to be proven wrong. And that certainly cannot be allowed to happen. So, as Hoosier suggested -- if they won't take the time to reconsider their own viewpoint, then the Bengals will have to reconsider it for them. Winning a Super Bowl and promptly contending for another one might do the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
