I swear.....many people in my life that I think a lot of root for the Bengals (not real loyal when they suck...but still), good people that I like, I never gave them shit when my team was doing good things but every fuckin chance... who dey, who dey who dey who dey who dey who dey who dey who dey who dey who dey who dey who dey who dey x1,000,000,000,000.......otherwise I would've called your posts, instead I jumped on with you.

Bengals were rooting harder than you for the Chargers last week....careful what you wish for.

Rivers and SD played a hell of a game.

As a coach his biggest task was to wipe that solid win at SD a few weeks earlier...and to lessen the undefeated at home.....you gotta get them in the mindset that they are going to come in and go balls to the wall and they don't care about 8-0 or the loss a few weeks back.....they want this bad and we better play fucking phenomenal if we expect to win.

The Bengals are atrocious when being favored in big games.

Also AJ = CJ
Yeah, it was kinda odd they came in like they had it in the bag. As if they haven't had trouble winning a playoff game in the past...

Also, finally the loss of Geno hurt the Bengals. I was surprised to see the Chargers run the ball down Cincy's throat.

He stepped up like CJ always did in the big games. Dropped a deep ball when the game was still undecided. Marvin Jones came out of no where to make his great catch early on....AJ didn't have that desire.

Marvin can stay. We now know for sure what the ceiling is with Andy Dalton. He will just not ever be good enough to win a playoff game. Injuries really hurt this team but all NFL teams have injuries. I would also like to see Gruden gone and Hue Jackson promoted to offensive Coordinator. I also hope no NFL owner is smart enough to get rid of their ego and hire Zimmer. Zimmer doesn't get the HC jobs he interviews for because he goes in to the interview and tells owners like it is and not that he will have then 10-6 and in the playoffs the next year.

Aj definitely should have caught that pass. Aj is good, but he needs to learn to run better routes. Seems like he only makes plays when its a play action wide open streak to him.

It seems it may be draft or nothing. I hate the idea of drafting a rookie and letting the rookie try to beat Dalton though. I say move on completely. Trade Dalton for anything and push in your chips with a new qb. Its in the best interest of the fans and probably the organization.

Dalton would beat out a rookie more than likely in a competition but we aren't in need of a qb battle, there needs to be playoff victories.

IMO, no point in wasting our breath talking about a new coach or QB. It's just never seemed in the Bengals philosophy to make radical changes, especially when they're considered more successful than like 18 other teams.

In retrospect I agree with ffl. Bengals will stay the course. Continue to bolster the defense and offensive line. Try to create more depth and fill gaps. I can't see them going in a new direction. Especially if the coordinators stick around.

They are not "considered" better... They've proven themselves to BE better than 18 some other teams. But this playoff albatross has got to be eliminated somehow. Ginger Snaps is not the answer - he has to be traded for something of value.

Bengals are just a terrible team. Simple as that. You knock on the browns being bad, but at least we aren't overhyped to win a super bowl and then get spanked at home by a team that barely squeaked in. Not to mention, have gone 3 years in a row with a first round playoff loss. That's more embarrassing to me than anything.

Not even the most die hard Bengals fan thinks they were going anywhere past next week at best. You're so bitter because of how shitty your team is you gotta call other teams crap? I'm justified in my criticism because its true you sniveling Pissant

I'm not sure how they're "proven" better than 20 teams they didn't even play directly. Perhaps they'd lose to the Cowboys, Texans, Cardinals, etc. had they played them. Since not, they're considered, not proven. Good try, though.

I saw espn analysts picking them for the super bowl, and I've heard Bengals fans all over pick them to go all the way. They were overrated all year, and are just not a good football team. Once again, I was right just look on the front page of this thread. Nice fail tiernan, you were proven wrong once again.

Do you two feel like Losers? Many Losers gravitate towards teams that are Losers and want to hang with other Losers.

I guess this explains why you're on a Bengals thread.

I have definitely heard Bengals fans....they were confident this was their year.

Chargers were a no doubter win....zero respect

They already beat the Patriots.....so therefore they were going to win at NE

Not afraid of Peyton at all.

This was the norm from the fans I deal with.....they simply do not get how the playoffs work.
