Bungles still being Bungles

"Mike is cheap." (Brown)

See if we can sell that catchphrase to the Bengals message board. 🤔

Would I pay for my guest if I were the host?  Yes.

 

Would I call out my host if I were the guest?  No.

That’s fair, unless the Bengals are involved, imo.

 

The cheapo stories I’ve heard from TJ Housmandzadeh and others would be hysterical if they weren’t true. How many other teams safeguard the Gatorade but provide ample used jock straps from a pile on the floor?

They “bungled” their way to the Super Bowl in Burrow’s second season.

 

Welcome to year 8 of the Allen era. 
 

Who are the real Bungles?

I hope they at least leave the light on for him.

Burrow, a top flight QB, has made the playoffs in two of the last five seasons. The Bungles are in Cincinnati, no question about that.

I repeat … they went to the Super Bowl in Burrow’s second season.  
 

And just like every other year during the Allen era … the Bills watched Super Bowl instead of playing in it.

And the Bengals LOST that Super Bowl. And Barry Switzer has a SB ring. So what? Your fixation is interesting, but there is no chance on earth I’d want to trade places with the Bengals.

The Bills sat Spikes there to remind him that he’ll always be a Bengal.

For the click averse:

 

"Boomer Esiason is in the Cincinnati Bengals' Ring of Honor, but attending this year's festivities could come at a price, he says.

The former Bengals quarterback and 2023 Ring of Honor inductee revealed during his Aug. 22 episode of "Boomer & Gio" titled, "Boomer's Ring Of Honor Sort-Of Invite," he was invited to the team's Ring of Honor weekend in October. The catch? He'd have to pay for his own hotel room."

 

The email that he received from the Bungles read:

 

"If you are traveling in for the weekend from out of town, we have secured a block of rooms at the Renaissance Hotel at a preferred discounted rate. Rooms are limited, so please book directly for the early and the best rate. We look forward to hosting you in The Jungle for an unforgettable weekend. Don't hesitate to reach out to me or another guy on the staff with any questions. Thank you. And Who Dey."

 

He's probably just lucky it wasn't a Super 8.

Yeah, it’s wicked fun doing the same thing every year (making the post season, then doing very little). 
 

Buckle up for another one of Beane’s Geriatric Special Defenses and Beane’s We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ WR1 Offenses. 
 

They’ll get there 6 automatic wins against the pathetic AFCE foes. Eke out another 5-6 regular season wins. 
 

Secure the 2-3 seed. 
 

Win one, then make room for someone else. 
 

FUN!!!!

 

Eff the Super Bowl!!!

That was not very responsive. Let’s make it perfectly clear: Would you like to switch places with the Bengals? Yes or no?

He's right to call them out for being cheap relative to other franchises. Ownership there is brutal and completely undeserving of success in the league. Very similar to how things operated in Buffalo for a decade or two, unfortunately. 

 

He's wrong if he was complaining about how HE was being treated, specifically, being personally worth approximately $20 Million (US Dollars). 

Basically it's a cheap millionaire calling out a cheap (is Brown even a) billionaire.

 

They can both kick rocks.

Would I trade a Super Bowl appearance in Allen’s second year for not getting to the Super Bowl in Allen’s first 7 seasons?

 

YES.

Exhibit A for something about blind squirrels and location of nuts…the Bills consistently create opportunities to get there, the Bungles are consistently inconsistent.

They went to the ***** Super Bowl. Two years after drafting Burrow.

Man you really want to eat a 5 superbowl loss and call that success?

Cmon man- You haven’t had fun watching the last 5 seasons?  Being a fan IS more than just winning a Super Bowl.  It may be the only thing your fixated on, but as fans, there’s so much more to it.   Watching the games and experiencing the high and lows of each and every week is a blast.  
 

Allen is 76-34 as a starter.  Joe Burrow is 38-30.  The difference in wins between the two is equal to Burrows career win total….and Josh only has 4 more losses.  

 

The bengals haven’t won a SB yet either.  Making the Super Bowl (and losing) one season while missing the playoffs entirely 3 of 5 seasons is nothing to brag about.  Do you think the Bengals fans had wicked fun the 3 years they didn’t even make the playoffs?  Great….they made the SB…. And lost.  That’s what I call wicked fun.  Ending the season with the same exact feeling as us.  Close, but no cigar.
