This years drop in season ticket holders is a direct reflection on the fans being tired of Mike Brown. Sure some think that Palmer quit or he owes it to the team to complete his contract, but the fact is Mike Brown could get good draft picks to trade a guy that has done nothing but been a stand-up teammate and always put the blame on himself. If he’s fed up with Mike Brown and the organization, I can’t say I blame him.

If you want to see fair weather fans, look to Indy. They’ve had 10 straight years to the playoffs and a couple of bad years and fans won’t even know the city has a football team.

—I don’t hate the Steelers, i just hate their rude, obnoxious, arrogant, fat and ugly fans. —

So “moving in the right direction” = losing to the Bengals @ CBS to fall to 35-39 in the alltime Browns vs Bengals series??

& really now … somebody felt the need to erase this comment the first time I posted it? from the third page ?? really??? LMAO!!

MAKE MY WHODEY!!!

at least then all the ohio fans can cling onto the browns (they seem to be moving in the right direction)

Right, and NO fans of opposing teams ever buy tickets to games in other NFL cities either? So SF & SD & Oakland & Seattle & Miami & Houston fans just flock to our games by the multiple tens of thousands, right?

Plus, we’ve still got a base of somewhere around 40K SEASON TICKET HOLDERS (which was above 55K before this year with even a waiting list 2 years before that) & you’re telling me they are ALL fans of other NFL teams in other NFL cities as well? It’s just me and 60K+ fans of the other team in attendance every week?

Last home game I missed just so happened to be Dillon’s breaking of Jim Brown’s single-game record & all those fans of other teams I see every game sure must seem to feel the need to surreptitiously disguise themselves by wearing the Orange & Black??

I swear, some people wear their abject (& laughably easily exposed) sheer idiocy as some kind of demented badges of honor or something.

Put down the bottle before you start trying to issue your rebuttal. Bungals only sold out because the opposing fans came to your games. I boycott Mike Brown by not setting foot in that gutter ball of a city.

Cincy – where felons go to become regular people.

obviously you dont know, me and my life partner know that LA can sell out the boxes and suites and will immediatley be the most profitable club in the NFL. the past doesnt matter and should only be considered if i am trying to respond with my LA wittiness.

@mightymightylafootball
“Yeah, we all read sooooooo many stories about sports teams in LA are getting ready to move. ”

exactly, the past is for dead people. the new stadium will sell out on the pure basis of same sex couples like me and my b-friend. LA is superior to all other cities and is number one in everything.

@zoxitic “Jaguars who have not had a blackout ”
not true and i am superior to a jaguar. jax has had blackouts and they tarp off seats. the fact is, LA has never blacked out any sport and has a perfect set of citizens that have proven themselves to deserve a football team. LA is the biggest market and has an inta-stamp to be the #1 football town in the world.

Maybe this is a ploy for Mike Brown to move the Bengals to LA to appease Carson Palmer.

All visiting teams take note: Make sure your teams bring extra cameras and tv equipment to the stadium. My 9ers got screwed with an athletic TD from smith to crabtree, having it negated due to a mysterious penalty; that wasn’t challenged because there wasn’t a replay available until 4 plays later.

FOX really dropped the ball on that one..

Your team won the game. Quit whining

——————————

I’m not whining, and i know that penalties cannot be reviewable. I’m just pointing out that it was a blown call in a game where the defenses were playing their a$$es off; and that the call should have been a TD, which would then be subjected to review – like all scoring plays are this year. Regardless – it’s a fact that due to the black out, the equipment the FOX brought along with them was so limited – that even if something needed to be challenged – there is not enough support to have instant replays.

In any case, you guys sure as heck didn’t make it easy out there and it could’ve went either way. Considering the turnover on the team, and with young guys like Andy, and Smith – keep your heads up and be happy that you have a franchise caliber QB at the helm.

Straying away from the topic

Sucks about the blackouts – and that’s sincere.

Would you mind giving some kind of logical support for this egregiously STUPID statement? A true lifer Bengal fan (since ’68) & current season ticket holder like myself actually defines the opposite of “fair-weather”, “frontruner” or “bandwagoner”.

I support the entire NFL at large in addition to My Preciousss Tisssue Paper Tigerssss by attending. NFL pooled revenue-sharing ensures this. If YOU (if you even attend NFL games) want to take some responsibility to ‘oppose’ Mike F Brown then logically YOU need to boycott your own NFL games & NFL paraphernalia (which is also a revenue-shared commodity).

Not to even mention the bad economy of particularly southern Ohio being a major contributor (on top of any recent Bengal ‘successes’) to our just having a 57-game PBS home sellout streak broken just last dec 2o1o. This is how you define fair-weather??

With seats like yours YOU should be at the game instead of trying to make a buck from them.

BUNGLES fans deserve what they get ! NOTHING.

==================================

What you idiot Steeler fans don’t realise is that when you are at PBS twirling those stupid yellow hankies, we’re all in Pittsburgh sha****g your women.

Just remember mate, that when you think you’ve scored at PBS, we’re scoring in PIT !!!!!

And you thought Bengal fans were dumb…….

==================================
The Steelers suck but it’s the fans that swallow! Go hump somebody elses leg mutt face. No trolls allowed!

It is a fact that people that resort to personal attacks are not very brilliant. So your comment was not taking very serious.

Hopefully it will remind the owners that you can’t ignore the fan base and expect them to follow blindly.

It’s Mike Brown pure and simple. It’s such a catch-22 for the fans. Show up and give this guy your hard-earned money and enable him to keep doing what he does. Don’t show up and your team is suddenlly put on the fast-track to Los Angeles. It’s too bad the NFL can not do something about this guy. Cincinnati is a great football town (trust me, with Brown’s track record that stadium never gets built in a huge number of NFL cities) – but at some point you reach a breaking point.

I hate it for the good young players we have (there are things to be encouraged about) and the top class guys they have like Whitworth. There needs to be a way to express that the discontent is with the owner and not them.

The Cincinnati Browns will never be a change.

Ha. In such a hurry to try to get your “awesome” joke on the board that you blew it. LOL.

Oh well, the first syllable of your name seems accurate anyway…
