It must stink to be a Bengal fan

I almost feel sorry for these guys. 8-0 at home this year. Favored by 7 to beat a team that barely beat KC;s second string last week, and they choke, AGAIN. What is with these guys?

Culture of losing.

I think them beating us the last week of the season was there superbowl, they eliminated us , the big bad defending superbowl champs and they were satisfied.

Well that's a bad attitude. And that's on the coaching staff

Marvin Lewis might be looking for a job, he's getting hammered in the media and has had more than enough time to build that team. But i don't care how much you coach a team up and inspire them if the QB wets himself in the big moments there's nothing you can do.

[RavenMad]

I think he has built a very good team that is a QB short of being really good.

In this current day and age it sucks to be a Bengal fan because of the fans not the team. Too negative. It wasn't long ago 2-4 wins was the expectation, at least now we can expect to compete for playoff entry. The national game play is just another hurdle to overcome. This is on the coaching staff though, the players weren't ready and the game plan sucked.

Yeah, there was some serious questionable offensive play calls yesterday. Third and two- let's go deep baby! They did this several times yesterday. Why?

Gruden - he hasn't gotten his NFL feet yet, I also think his play calling is too ambitious for the QB we got, that's way he forgets the run.

The fumbles can be fixed, its a mental and practice thing if he is going to be running, the INT's are two fold issue. Andy, I am sure, he only looks or can only see a third of the field and locks on to that area and defenders can see that. He is small and I don't think he can see past the line depending on where he is standing. Second, I don't think he can execute all the plays Gruden wants to run, a large part because of the visual issue.
