We Bengals fans have class and dignity. Unlike Cleveland fans, we have good things to talk about. (Our Reds have won the World Series several times while those poor Indians have to look back 51 years to their last baseball title; our river has never been on fire (yeah, I know that is a cheap shot); we have to accept that Dayton is our neighbor but at least we didn't get stuck with Parma, Akron and Youngstown). So, you can always expect civilized harassment rooted in genteel humility when dealing with us Cincinnati folk.

But, be careful, remember that Cleveland Browns fans are born into a hopeless existence. Most of them are even born with criminal records. Think about it, you have to live in Cleveland (Mistake on the Lake...yeah, I know, another cheap shot) and you have to cheer a team that has NEVER made a Super Bowl. So, be careful Pittsburgh fans. Be careful or you might see a Cleveland Fan doing something like this.

Okay, that's getting better. Cowher isn't our coach anymore and you trashed Cleveland more than Pittsburgh, but at least you're trying. :laugh:

 

[punk_lawyer]

...you trashed Cleveland more than Pittsburgh, but at least you're trying. :laugh:

That is because I hate Cleveland more than I hate Pittsburgh. If it weren't for Cleveland...Ohio would be a GREAT state. Cleveland raises Ohio's overall crime rate, burning river rate, pollution quota, serial killer records, illiteracy percentage, insult target count and just about everything else that is bad. If we Ohioans (note that I don't use the term Buckeyes) could delete the stats from Cleveland, our state would be among the highest in all quality of life categories. Here is a deal, I will trade my Bengals 2009 win/loss record to you Pittsburgh fans if you agree to have the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania annex Cleveland.

That being said, compare your typical Steeler fan to a typical Bengal fan:

I had to make your fan picture bigger for, well, obvious reasons.

Just so you could fit the name in of course I'm sure!

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!

Now THAT was good! :laugh:

As for PA taking Cleveland - HELL NO!!!! I say we let the city secede from the union and be annexed by Quebec.

 

[jfields]

They lost to Cleveland!!!!! :laugh:

Where's Jeff during all of this Stu? He's been awful quiet lately.............Oh I'm sure he'll say he's been busy or something?

At least John's taking all the abuse like a man.

 

[gtadroptop]

Please, this ain't nuthin' compared to the live crap I'm catching. Remember, I live halfway between Buffalo and Cleveland. Erie's a battleground between those two groups of fans and us chosen ones.

Chosen Ones???? Looks like they chose to lose a lot this year!!

Just giving a little crap to those that have chosen to dish it up in past years.

Stu, you are a class gentleman and a a great BOTL. However, referring to Bengals fans in general as having class and dignity destroys all credibility you have earned in the NFL discussion arena.

As far as the Steelers, I fear that we may be in for a few years of mediocrity under Tomlin. He has tweaked what worked and installed coaches and philosophies that are miserable!

Good luck to the Bengals in their playoff game this year

Not defending any of the Steelers play this year, but I am not sure how much blame you can give Tomlin. I can give you speical teams. But the offense and Defense of coaches were there before Tomlin. Even though I never liked Bruce Arians, its kind of hard to fire him last year when we won the super bowl. I think Tomlin has done a very good job these past few years with the draft picks, Evander Hood, Mike Wallace, Rashard Mendenhall, Bruce Davis, Dennis Dixon, lawerance Timmas Lamarr Woodley and Matt spaeth. Hood showed some great strides this year, but he was put into a tough spot in a hurry with arron smith out for the season. And Bruce Davis would be a starting LB in just about any other team but the steelers. I know the Head Coach always takes the blame, but I do not think he has had a chance yet to really mold his coaching staff to his likings. I think there will be a lot of changes this year, Bruce Arians better be gone, Dick will take on a lesser role next year (as hard as it is for me to say that, its true) Special teams and DB coaches will be gone. I personally think tomlin should take over as a Defense of Back coach, no need to hire one, if there is a major problem with the team, i hope tomlin puts it in his own hands rather than hiring someone to fill that void.

David:

It's not that I hate the guy but you have to admit his hirings at coaching position have stunk up the joint. He DID hire Arians as OC, previously he was the WR coach; and he hired the special teams coach, both are killing us.

Do you really believe that possibly the greatest coordinator in NFL history (Dick LaBeau) all of a sudden forgot what made him the best? I think Tomlin has started to inject his defensive philosophies over-riding DL.

We excelled at outscoring opponents in the first half this year and were the worst defense in the league in the 4th quarter. This is due to Arians asinine play calling in the second half of games and our defense playing not to lose (with a weak secondary). DL Never, I repeat never, played not to lose in close games.....his entire body of work revolved around being aggressive when the game was on the line. You have to believe that either DL forgot what made him the best or someone overrode him.

Ask yourself this.....have you ever seen a Steeler team look like they didn't care as they did in that 5 game losing streak? Can you imagine a team not playing hard under Cowher? I think the second Steelers/Bengals game was the worst effort I have ever seen and I have watched nearly every game for 40 years!

 

[Sweetrice80]

I see what you are saying, but it took Cowher 15 (I think) years to win a superbowl after playoff bust after playoff bust. I really like how Tomlin handles the team, the Mendenhall situation. Plus he won us a Super Bowl his second year as a coach. As much as you and I know and Love Cowher, he would of found a way to lose in that playoffs since we were the favorite. Unlike 2005 where we were big time underdogs. I will put it this way, though our offense was decent this year, it did not favor our Over age Defense of Line. Any coach knows the success and failures of a 3-4 Defense starts in the line.


BTW since the season is over, let the count down begin for next season.

Thanks for bumping this one back up guys! I was going to do so to celebrate the Steelers going into the can for the playoffs but you beat me to it. :laugh: Guys, I have so much experience in watching my home town team miss the playoffs that I can give you some pointers on how to handle the despair.

Go Bengals!!! :thumbs:

Those are pointers I don't need bro!

Not to mention....the Bengals have had their quota of playoff games for this decade so don't get too comfy

 

[gtadroptop]

I'll take the high road. Good luck, Stu.



That was difficult.

 

[punk_lawyer]

Awww shucks, guys. Your sycophantic comments are making me blush. I feel like a 5 year old on Christmas morning. (Hey, do those terrible towelettes work well for cleaning up Cincinnati chili at a tailgate?) This is a great great week for us Bengal fans. (Those Steeler hats and jackets can be turned upside down or inside out to avoid embarrassment while flipping burgers for us outside The Jungle). So, in the spirit of hospitality, I warmly invite all of you Pittsburgh fans to come to Cincinnati this weekend. (We really do need a crew of slackers to help empty our stadium pals). Really, wouldn't you rather spend the weekend in Cincinnati than stay home like the losers in Cleveland, Kansas City, Detroit, St. Louis and so on?

...and now I shall bask in the warm afterglow of orgasmic Bengal playoff arrival in the absence of Stiller heads...if only for a week!!! :laugh:

 

[CigarStone]

I understand Stu....after all, this weekend will be the first playoff game in a decade or so with more Bengal fans than Steeler fans in attendance :whistling:
