TWO POSTS?!?!

What the HELL did he possibly say to get him banned after two posts?

Damn, I'm dying to know.....send me a PM of what he said or somethin'...

[jamesbrooks21]

I WON'T BE EXCITED UNTIL THE BUNGLES MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. THEN THEY LOSE THE NAME AND GAIN MY RESPECT. UNTIL THEN, I'LL KEEP ON s**tTING ON THEM VERBALLY.

I bet that is what the whole Bengal organization is worried about Barbarian-gaining your respect. I know I can't sleep at night knowing they don't have your respect.

wow way to take my cheery post and drag it down to your depths barb in a season of injury's and rookie mistakes from a ROOKIE QB i think its nice to lighten up once in a while.

I must admit tho i started supporting the bengals when i watched them play the eagles in 88 when they were 6-0 i liked the colour of the uni's and now where i am 16 years later still hanging on and hoping and i have never ever been as excited about the future as i have been these last 2 years the signs are there.

This franchise is finaly going in the right direction it will take a couple of years but we will finaly come out of the depths and once again be a team to be feared.

competing now dominating soon

In Marvin I Trust :player:

[schweinhart]

only this time it was to the play of the day with that awesome catch against pittsburg!!!!!!

Indeed a remarkable catch.

Maybe not quite as good as Anthony Henry had for INT he took away from Chad vs. Clowns 1st time.

Hopefully, Chad won't drop as many Sunday as he did in Pepto Bowl.

Terry,I quoted it so he couldn't change it,then reported the post.

It was ugly to say the least,the details which don't need to be repeated.

[jditty47]

it was a dumb post and wasnt that bad. it was just directed at ppl is why he was banned.

[bengalboomer7]

yeah, some people are having trouble being civilized (sometimes me too). Everyone wants to be right and we tend to forget we all root for the same team (at least I think we do, sometimes it's hard to tell

[BengalBax]

name the last time we were 4-6. Name the last time we had a chance to finish .500 two years in a row. After 15 years of losing it's exciting to see us finally going in the right direction. If you can't see the overall improvement in the team then you need your eyes checked. We have finally turned into a legit NFL franchise. You can't lose for 15 years than all of the sudden be Super Bowl Champs. Be happy your team is finally competing and get excited about the future. Unless you are teminally ill, and I pray to God you are not, then get pumped up about the future because we finally have one

Lat year. We were 5-5, oh wait, 7-5 at the 12 game mark. You won't see that again anythime soon.

But the sad thing is, it's only the HOMERS who respect this team. NO ONE ELSE IN THE NATION DOES. So who looks foolish now??

Palmer IS a rookie, I will admit that. He also SUCKS. Now you admit that?

[UK Bengal]

at the moment i would give in to that fact hes had his fits and starts but like i say hes a rookie he will get better its only once in a while you get a rookie QB like ben rothlisburger that shines straight away.

I for one am prepeared to give palmer the chance to prove himself

[BengalszoneBilly]

We're 4-6. Whether you like it or not--those are the same ole Bungles.

I gotta disagree with ya' here bud. As far as Mike Brown, and the teams current 4-6 record, well yeah, that sure does bear an awful big resemblance to the very dark days of not all that long ago. But too many other things have changed.

Very critical things like Mike actually spending money on the team, and handing far more control of the team over to Marvin than he had with ANY head coach before are all positive signs.

Also the players aren't just enduring these losses, and just "showing up" for the next game, as was the case in the past. They take great pride in knocking off good teams, like they did with Denver, and seem to be genuinely pissed about losing games like the one with the Steelers, and are focusing on not making the same mistakes.

Plus you gotta love the spirit, like in Chad Johnson. Yeah, yeah. I know he sometimes mis-directs it, like in that stupid "Pepto" stunt, but to me it shows he is wanting to excel SO bad, it's driving him nuts, and between you and me, I betting that's a really short drive! Besides, name the last Bengals player (Except Ickey!) who publicly showed that it mattered that much to him. I don't remember many.

Along with the players having a positive attitude and outlook of the teams future is the fans (a.k.a. homers to you ) who are filling up PBS for every home game. My brother was at the Steeler game last weekend, and even though, IMHO, the Bengals lost one they really shouldn't have, he told me that in the last three games he's attended this season, they have looked better overall each and every time.

So in a few ways I won't deny it appears like it's the same ol' "Bungles", but I'll have you know that ESPN's Chris Berman hasn't used that term since about week 3 of this season, and he practically invented it, and used it incessantly for many years. Not anymore

One down...one to go. Your turn comes next season when Cincy finally goes to the playoffs. We'll be throwing a big "coming out" party for ya' then Barbarian. Should I wear something formal, or will there be so much beer flyin' around that it may be best to keep it casual so I don't ruin any good threads.

Mike Brown has done nothing but turn this franchise around for the past 2 YEARS.

I feel he's simply (and thankfully!) undoing a lot of the damage he did in his 12 years prior to that! At least with the help of Katy and a few others, I feel he's (for the most part) on the right track. Nobody can deny that Mike Brown hasn't been exactly the best GM/Owner in the history of the NFL. In fact a few years back it looked as though he and Arizona's Bill Bidwell were directly competing against each other in a head to head "Death Match" of ineptitude. Incredibly both men have seemingly dropped out of this matchup. Each has (*Arizona will SOON have) new stadiums, and have actually hired competent head coaches.

...<_<now if they would only stay the hell out of the draft planning rooms of their teams! Chris Perry with the 1st pick in 2003!?! (I just KNOW that Mike insisted on calling THAT one!) Yeah...good job Mike. Now go take a coffee break. You've done enough already...really! Hit the showers!

[BengalszoneBilly]

But the sad thing is, it's only the HOMERS who respect this team. NO ONE ELSE IN THE NATION DOES. So who looks foolish now??

I just checked with the official "Board of Respect", and they found pockets of "Bengals Respect" breaking out in the cities of Washington D.C., Kansas City, Dallas Texas, the upper New England area around Boston, sweeping into certain areas of New York, down into Indianapolis, out west along the Rockies into Denver, beyond that to the Pacific coastal metropolis of San Fran, and jumping back to the east coast city of Miami.

No one else in the nation? Please Bax. The nation doesn't need you to tell us who they do and do not respect. We read the papers, watch Sports Center, and have internet access. All of which say otherwise. I thought you had moved beyond silly posts like this.

As far as the "Bengals Homers" here, well what did you expect to find at a place named "Bengalszone"? A bunch of us in matching floral chiffon outfits squealing "Go 'Niners!"

[HoosierCat]

4-6 is actually a middle-of-the-pack record this year. Look at the standings. The majority of teams, 17, currently have 3-5 wins. Another four stand at 6-4, just one different result away from .500. Were these the "same old Bengals," they'd be down with the two truly awful teams, Miami and San Fran, at 1-9.

Takes time to dig out from 10+ years of poor coaching and drafting. Frankly, I'm amazed it's gone as well as it has.

I'll have to agree with Bax here--that only the HOMERS have respect for this team. After 14 years of losing, you would have to be a HOMER to have respect for this franchise.

[schweinhart]

Where respect entered into the comments, I have no idea or understanding why. The only things commendable of the Brown clan is that they kept the team in Cincy, named the stadium after a relevant human, and hired ML to build a squad w/ adequate resources at his behest.

The rest of the observations should center squarely on the team and its capability. This has nothing to do w/ respect. Support is another thing. Support for the Bengals is more like disease than anything else.

If there is a national epidemic of sudden Bengals support, then I'm glad of it. Call it the Bengal Flu

This is a very good post of the phenomenon going on in the NFL--the Bungles are gaining SUPPORT not RESPECT.

See, after 14 years of total s**t-type of play, the Bungles need to make THE PLAYOFFS to gain respect and lose the infamous name.

JMO.

I can't believe some of these fans are celebrating 2 potential 8-8 MEDIOCRE seasons. I believe that 8-8 is horses**t. Either playoffs or don't bother.

8-8 to me is considered a real dicktease. Either 10-6 or have a rebuilding year. Don't tease me with this 8-8 bulls**t.

See, that's part of the reason why the Bungles are still the Bungles--because their fans believe that 2 8-8 seasons is considered a success, when most fans of other teams consider 2 8-8 seasons a mediocre failure.

People are usually FIRED in other franchises for 2 8-8 back-to-back seasons. Here, they are considered HEROES.

LMAO

Barb, you've said some dumb things before, but this really takes the cake.

What was the record for the team the two years before Marvin got here? 8-24

8-24

How about the years before that?

Marvin didn't get a good team, he got a huge steaming pile of s**t.

The fact that his teams have been able to stay near 500 after he got here should say something about the man and his vision for this team.

Hell, I'm not happy about the record, it could have been better this season, but I also understand that this is a young team, that is growing, it's not gonna be easy, but the potential is there. Your constant pissing and moaning is rather pathetic. If you can't see the difference between this team, and the teams of Coslet and LeBeau then you really need to get a flipping clue.

[WhoDey42]

You really need to shut up and listen to what other people are saying. No one is celebrating going 8-8 two seasons in a row. Your really annoying now... all you do is find things that are going bad and say we don't realize it. WE KNOW THERES A LOT TO BE IMPROVED ON. Don't try to make us look like the idiots and you look like the only sane one. People agree with some things that you say but you act like such an idiot most of the time and don't realize that people agree with you and you don't need to try to make everyone else look like they don't know what they're talking about.

also...

Are you suggesting Marvin be fired? Once again, Marvin has completly changed the attitude of the team and fans (except for a couple ). We are making huge improvements. I know that attitude doesn't mean anything if we don't have W's to show for it, but we're making improvements. We can't expect to make a complete turn around in this amount of time.

Kev,

Are you denying that 2 8-8 seasons back-to-back ISN'T mediocre???

And WTF is the problem here--you would think that after 14-consecutive losing seasons that playoffs wouldn't be out of the question to lose the name a gain respectability??? Would ya???

Why question that???

8-8? It depends. What do you compare it to? 2-14? 6-10? 3-13? 3-13?

Had the Bengals gone into either season as a Super Bowl contender then hell yeah, that sucks ass. But last season there were zero expectations and 8-8 was better than about half the teams in the league. This year they are a better team, but young, and the AFC is freaking awsome and 8-8 in the AFC is nothing to be ashamed of, hell 10-6 won't guarantee you a spot in the playoffs. Oh, also 8-8 isn't a losing season, and they have a real shot at going 9-7...

Next year I'll be the first one leading a bitchfest if the team finishes at 8-8 or doesn't make the playoffs. 8-8 isn't satisfying, however when you look beyond the standing and see that the team played a pretty brutal schedule, that they had a lot of growing pains, then yeah, you have to look at 8-8 as okay.

Ask the 49ers or Dolphins if they'd like to finish 8-8, ask the Cards, or the Browns or the Saints, or Tennessee, or Oakland or KC if they'd like to have a shot at 500.
