Be careful when laughing at the Bungles, they have some fans lurking these boards and they’re sensitive.

They’ll probably agree with this assessment of their franchise and laugh along. But any word of Burrow dressing like a girl and fists would fly.

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

The Kelly era is not the same as the Josh era. 
 

Not by a long shot. 
 

The Allen era team should have at least been to one Super Bowl by now. 
 

It’s nothing short of pathetic that they haven’t.

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. 

@NewEra - I have LOVED them. 
 

I just want more. We’ve had a top 3 QB and have not had a GM who can build at would him. Nor have we had a HC who can outcoach Andy Reid. 
 

It is sad.

I know you want more.  I do too.  We deserve more (even though we’ve never played a down for the team- although I may feel like I have following several games). 

In the context of this conversation, I just can’t get behind the bengals accomplishing more than we have over the last 5 years- especially as a fan.  Imagine not even making the playoffs 3 of 5 years??  Props to them for beating Reid and Mahomes in the playoffs.  Props to Sam Hubbard for coming through recording back to back sacks on Mahomes on 2nd and goals from the 4.  Grats on Von Bell for intercepting Mahomes in overtime.  Neither are elite players. They just made plays when the team needed them most.  It’s not all on McD for not “being able to beat” Reid and Beane not giving Josh a WR1 (which Beane did give him for 3.5 seasons).  Reid and Spags are an all time great duo as play callers- paired with Mahomes, Kelce, Jones (and tyreek for a few), not many can match them. 
 

We could’ve won 3 of those playoff games if some players made a play. We’ve had opportunities and failed.  It’s on the players just as it is on McD and Beane.  
 

I’m with you though, I want more.  I want what KC has. Hell, I want what the Bears have.  A Lombardi under their belt.  Back to where this conversation started-  I don’t want what the Bengals have.

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?

 

 

They had one magical year and still came up short. Incredible offense, but not a good team. One of the most prolific pass rushers and defense is still hot trash. I’d much rather be in the Bills situation.

An organization with no class.  

 

Keep in mind though that Cookie Gilchrist refused to come to Buffalo after his playing days, even to have his name put on the Wall, because the Bills wouldn't cover his costs.  

 

Boomer should decline the invite and explain to his TV audience why he's not there.

I could be wrong but something tells me that Boo Hoo Esiason’s and Cookie’s financial situations were a tad different.

True, AI would have done a better job. I know people who have become amazingly eloquent recently. Go figure!

"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."

 

Who dey payin for their own rooms?

All of the above.

 

A millionaire bellyaching about a billionaire.

 

Meanwhile the taxpayers in Hamilton County are paying for 75% of the cost of the stadium renovation.
