Re: Week 7: Bears at Bengals (4:15 ET on Fox)

[Bruno7481]

BTW, I wanted to make this "Yes I'm bitter, but this is true" observation about the Bengals fans. Their fans are awful. I swear in those few seconds the game allegedly was still up for grabs, their fans were quiet and didn't know when to cheer. When the Bengals got the ball, their fans were cheering pre-snap like their team was on defense. And then when their team was on defense, the cheering before every play was minuscule compared to what I am used to at Soldier Field. If I would put Soldier Field's pre-snap cheers for the defense at a 10, the Bengals fans were only at a 4.

 

Also, before the game got out of hand (5 minutes in), I heard several unmistakable "Lets go Bears" chants reverberate through Paul Brown Stadium. In fact, right after the national anthem the 15-20k Bears fans in the audience started one such chant, and the 45k Bengals fans couldn't drown it out! Some of them tried but they couldn't.

 

I don't have a lot of respect for the city of Cincinnati in general (the city is ok at best, their people are weird and don't know whether to be a northerner or a hick), but the experience at the game made me lose some of what I had. I expect their fans to get on the Bears fans invading their stadium, especially because they completely embarrassed the opponents, so that didn't bother me too much..such is life on the road in the NFL, but the rest bothered me.

 

The same broad generalizations are constantly made about Cubs fans as well. Cincinnati is not a bad town and most people I have run into at Cubs-Reds games have been good people.

 

How do they not know whether to be a northerner or a hick? What does that even mean?

It means they act like a city in the north half the time and they act like hicks the other half of the time.

 

Also, the generalizations of Cubs fans not knowing when to cheer is completely incorrect as we all know. I saw and heard the Bengals fans with my own eyes and ears, and they definitely have no idea how to affect a game.

There are few things dumber than broad generalizations of ever-changing groups of people.

Yeah, I'm just bitter. Sue me.

Why would Kubiak leave Houston? He's not going to be canned unless they totally choke the next couple of months.

 

They have one of the best offenses in the league.

 

There was talk at the start of the season that he'd be on the hot seat if the overall record wasn't better than right around .500.

 

That's pretty ridiculous then. They're the Houston Texans and they play in the same division as the Colts. I don't think they've had a winning year in their franchise (they've had a couple of .500 years) but I think they should finally get it this year.

 

That's the problem they have with Kubiak. They want a winning season and he hasn't delivered one yet.

 

Not agreeing with that train of thought at all, just reporting why he's on the hot seat.

I was so tempted to drive down for this game and now I'm glad I didn't. Sorry you had to be the one to waste your money

No one could have predicted that. Even a close loss would have been acceptable because at least I'd likely have moments of cheering. I was looking forward to the game for a month, so excited I couldn't sleep the night before. And I literally did not have a single opportunity to cheer or have fun. It was the worst possible game you could possibly goto. But it's ok...that's the risk you take when you go to road games in the NFL. I've been to plenty of awesome Bears games so it's not the end of the world.

[Productive Outs]

just be glad that the bengals didn't have odom.

 

ravens, steelers, bears... i'm already happy with this season. things could get ugly after the bye, though. the ravens will be out for blood.

 

Because it'd have been 45-0 instead of 45-10 or whatever? Who cares? A stomping is a stomping.

 

you're right.

 

cincinnati is pretty much a horrible place. reds fans suck. i've been to a lot of games at both cinergy and GABP, and i assure you that they are horrible people. i am a bengals fan, but i have not been to a game. it wouldn't surprise me if they were just like reds fans, though.

Omiyale wasn't as bad as I thought.
