After the travesty that was the Browns Game, and yes, let me say again for the record, the BROWNS game, I came to the conclusion that I've officially had enough for this season. The fact that I acutally finished watching the game was so disheartening. And I know there's the fans out there that are going to say "if we would have had Palmer in, we could have won the game, or at least had done a lot better..." I'm sorry, as much as I love the Bengal's, I'm tired of making excuses for them, because I'm the one listening to Marvin Lewis after the game saying that there's things they "did right and things they did wrong..." I'm sorry, but I didn't see one thing that looked relatively good, unless we're talking about the Browns Defense, that looked good, but of course it did, they were playing a team that played worse then the Lakota Tomahawks, and THEY'RE 6 - 10 YEARS OLD!!! I've seen better football played by Special Olmpics teams.
After the game, I decided to stick around and watch some of the other games, and I was just amazed at the caliber the other teams in the NFL play at. Brett Favre, he's what like 40 years old and still has more amazing stats than our team in 20 years combined? Even the Eagles/Bears game was incredible! They play with heart, they play as a team, they play to win... The Bengal's, I'm not even sure they play at all. I mean, I could understand why, they're getting paid just to be there, so obviously I'd show up. But the total lack of respect and unwillingness to play like a team is enough for me to understand that they don't care about the Cincinnati Bengal's fans, and I can only make excuses and get disrespected for so long before I have to walk away...
My solution to the problem: Obviously number one, new coach, and new coordinators. We can't afford to have this lack of talent and expertiece running our players. Second, we obviously have to draft better players for positions we need help in, and from the looks of it, we need 2 new wide recievers, and we need to relieve "Ocho Crappo" and Chris "the thuggesque" Henry of their duties, which doesn't seem like much from their visual performances... Don't get me wrong, I love players that talk trash, but I also want that player to you know, what's that word called...??? Oh yeah, PLAY THE GAME!!! Third, you don't get paid until you perform, no more large paychecks if you're out there screwing around! Everytime you mess up, we take it from your paycheck, clean and clear! Maybe that will teach you to play like a team!
I'm sorry that it had to come down to this, but this is what happens after so many bad times. Like a bad girlfriend, sometimes you just have to leave her as much as it hurts. I'm sad to say that this will not be easy, by any means. I know it's going to be very different watching my Colts instead of the Bengals every Sunday, but the Colts have never let me down as bad as the Bengal's have, and for that reason, they appreciate me watching them, and appreciate them playing with drive, and devotion to the game of football, because that's what football deserves, and that's what the fans deserve! Sorry Bengals, maybe after this season, I'll start watching you again, but you have a lot of work to do before you earn my respect again. We'll See Ya
