After the offseason where the team unloaded almost all of their offense & lost 3 leaders on Defense the optimism & expectations for this team were at an all-time low (even for the Bengals). Up until last year the Bengals did have a sellout streak of like 50 some games in a row but after awhile fans get fed up w/ the way this team is run & no longer want to support the management.

I expected 5-6 wins this year, especially with such a young & inexperienced offense. But Dalton, AJ Green, Simpson, Gresham, Caldwell (And Shipley next year) are so much more fun to watch, and to go along with such a young & hungry defense I'm just going along for the ride the rest of the season & enjoying watching this young team play... If I can afford it when the game gets closer I want to get a couple tickets to the Steelers game.... With games vs Seattle & Tennessee before Pittsburgh, They could maybe be 6-2 heading into that game?

Jawbreaker;936458 wrote:Very true. I believe they will find something better to do with their time. Unlike Browns fans that will have a 196 page thread (and counting) about how crappy their team is.

karen lotz;936997 wrote:I'd say fairweather fans are fans of their team but don't really voice their support of the team unless the team is winning. When the teams start to lose, typically you don't hear much from their fair weather fans. Bandwagon fans will become fans of whichever team is currently the best or most popular. Not saying you are either, I just think there is a difference between the two.

4-2 is much better than 2-3. Keep shooting your mouth off, it will only entertain me more. On the bright side, Andrew Luck should probably be a good rookie like Andy Dalton is. Just hope you guys are able to get an AJ Green/Julio Jones type as well... just don't trade the pick away this time!

Also, since you are bringing up old posts, I am still waiting on how I run amok in Bengals threads, thanks.
