  1. I think the answer is plain as day… its time for this team to go to another city. Ownership is pathetic and 100% accepts mediocrity year after year. The window is closed and id personally be fine if the Bengals moved to another city. Ideally, ownership & coaching change is the only other solution if we ever want to see a ring come to the jungle.

  2. Lots of us are using the same word to describe this comedy. PATHETIC. What the heck are u bickering about with these players paying for parking??……PATHETIC is the only word to describe this

  3. Bengals signing guys, is like buying a $5 bargain Blu-ray movie out of a Walmart bin. Sometimes you find an old movie you liked for cheap, hoping it's still as good as you remembered.

  4. This coaching staff and front office is terrible! Same problems every year bad drafting, no oline, no running game, leaky defense. Joe gonna end up like Andrew luck if something don't change feel sorry for joe jamarr and trey

  5. Our front office is trash! Look how serious Kansas City takes it about bringing in talent to help their team. We suck on defense so bad and we keep making the same bad choices over and over! Im literally about to be a band wagon fan for someone else. 20+ years of this trash

  6. We literally swapped reader for rankins and rankin has done nothing for us! Sam Hubbard needs to be the back up unless it’s a run down. Corners need upgraded. We need a hole new look on defense.

  7. Cincinnati Bengals are the lowest valued organization in the NFL at 5.25 billion the Brown family money is tied up and that's why they can't pay nobody and that's why they cool with letting the head coach lose the Super Bowl.. bad play calling decision and horrible decisions not to have Joe Mixon on the field in the Super Bowl & championship game against the Chiefs on the final plays and of course letting him go I don't want to see the head coach or the sister and brother in Cincinnati who dey dat

  8. I was hoping they worked it out with X. Howard. I don't know how much he has left in the tank but at this point it was worth trying. Though who knows why it didn't work.

    James has raised good questions on this situation.

  9. Been a fan since i was a kid liking the tiger striped helmets.
    Now as an adult, im aware of how badly this team is managed at nearly every turn.
    At least i got my Burrow and Chase jerseys during their super bowl run, because god knows im not spending another dime on Mike Browns shit product before i see actual results that match the quality of talent they promised us.

  10. Like expecting bronny to be LeBron or
    MJ son to be him

    Mike Brown isn't Paul Brown. He didn't coach, play or build the Bengals. All he has really done is collect the residuals from us the fans. We are the ones that buy the jerseys, eat at pay core, buy the tickets.

    He is the equivalent to Jerry Jones without the championship. Jerry on welfare 🤦🏽‍♂️

    He didn't pay Jamar, he didn't pay tee, he wouldn't bring in help to help Joe.

    It's insanity to do the same thing and expect a different result.

    I'm about to start buying other teams jerseys too. I'm tooooo loyal

  11. probably no body on street this time of year that will put any team over the top. also, this is mike browns team. mike, katy etc will be here as long as the bengals are. learn to be ok with that or stop following the team. if cincinnati has an nfl team the browns will own it. no other team is coming to a small market with a lot of fair weather fans and the browns are dedicated to the city

  12. Leonard Fournette was great ad ..in 2019. Hes shot in 24. BUT would have been a solid add . The character thing never stopped us before why turn Righteous all sudden? Love all the sites but have a serious question? Has anyone else wondered why ALWAYS seems to be National Media that are breaking these Bengals scoops while our local media asks questions about evaluating Justin Herbert in the 2020 draft?? Am curious teach us the process here of why and why not?
