I want this season to end now. this torturous, painful season seems scripted to cause pain to all bengal fans in the worse way. I was at the tampa game, I watched in disbelief in the chargers game, and the broncos game was just a fitting end to a horrible ride. Now, we have to count on the worst team in the NFL in recent history (the raiders) to win and help us get in the playoffs. Next sunday, it will all come to an end we have noone to blame but ourselves. Chance after chance. This season was for the taking, even with all the injuries. Watching tonite's jets game, I was thinking, wow finally something might help us here and almost on cue, some running back noone has heard of takes off for 70 yards and the jets win. Even those 4-12 seasons in the lost 90's hurt less than this season. My prediction for next week based on this season: Raiders upset the jets. Bengals lose to steelers. That would be a very fitting end to it all. good night.
I agree with Anthony. Even if all those scenarious next week go in the Bengals' favor, they'll find a way to waste yet another opportunity bu losing to the Steelers.
A NEWER AND SHINIER BUNGLE TEAM HAS EMERGED FROM THE ASHES OF THE SUPREME BUNGLER'S OF THE 90'S AND EARLY 2000'S. THE LATEST ITERATION IS MUCH MORE SUBTLE YET CAN STILL BE APPRECIATED FOR THEIR CONTINUED SOAP OPERA OF REFINED BUNGLING.....GOTTSTA LUV DEM BUNGLES!!!!!
I FINALLY GIVE UP. WITH THE REDS TOO. IF THERE IS ANYWAY TO MESS UP THEY BOTH WILL FIND A WAY. JUST THINKING ABOUT THE 1 BILLION WASTED ON STADIUMS MAKES ME SICK.
SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!!! While the Bengals have had disappointing games -ie. Tampa Bay-, a win against the Steelers will give them a Division Record of 5-1, and that ain't bad. Yes, they should have come thru on the easier games -ie. Tampa Bay- but a win against the Steelers will give them a winning record. It wasn't that long ago we would be ecstatic about that. This team is young and has tons of talent that will continue to deliver exciting games for years to come. To all "so called BENGALS fans", how dare you call them the BUNGLES, you are more than welcome to cheer on some other team, please do, we don't need any fair weather fans!!! Go ahead and call them BUNGLES, but don't you dare yell, "WHO DEY" again!!!!!

I guess it doesn't matter now. Here's to next year

Marvin lewis is not a good enough coach to carry Paul Brown or Bill"tiger"Johnson or Sam Wyche or Forrest Gregg jock-strap.
