You say how Carson Palmer was "cursed", and had to put up with soooo much. Yeah, his life was so stressful.

Give me a break, Carson is an NFL qb, gets paid millions of dollars, his day job is playing the game he loved as he was a kid. In what way is that stressful? I don't care if you have to play with a flashy wide reciever, BIG WHOOP!

Who wouldn't want to deal with that? I think I would rather deal with playing QB for the Bengals than going into a damn office every day. Everyone's day job is stressful as hell, and sure we'd all like to leave to go somewhere else, but do we whine like a baby? No!

So Carson, screw you, your career is not stressful one bit, and if you think it is, try walking the shoes of every average american working 50 hours a week just to support their family right at the poverty line.

Holy cow, I cant believe this has happened. I hope Palmer really makes an ass of himself and plays like crap, all he has done is decline since 2005.

This date has changed the Bengals Organization for the rest of the future, we are going to be such a threat to the NFL. In a few years to come, with the young weapons we have now, and the weapons we will pick up in the next 2 drafts, THE CINCINNATI BENGALS are going to be as much of a threat to the league as NE, PIT, and everyone else. I am so stoaked for our future, it can only get better.

Mike Brown, thank you! You have seriously made the best decision of your career. We really ripped Oakland off on this one, and when Palmer comes to Cincinnati next year, he's going to get the biggest ass-beating of his life.

WHO DEY my Bengal fans! WHOOOOO DEYYYY! Life is looking so damn good

First I want to see if I'm the only one who gets annoyed everytime Marvin Lewis's face appears on camera. He has the SAME facial expression EVERYTIME, either its before the game or 2 minutes left, he has the same face. Its rather annoying. Am I the only one that notices that? It's like he can care less about what happens.

Also, if Cedric gets suspended I think it may be a good thing and here's why-

We probably are not going to have Benson as our hb next year, so this would open up the door for Bernard Scott and Leonard to show what they've got. You guys think we can rely on Scott as the starting hb?

My one true love

I've lived in NC, NJ, NY, FL, and soon Chicago for a little bit, grant it I'm only 20 years of age at the moment. I remember the summer of 98', my father took me on a roadtrip to watch the Mets play in Queens, the BlueJay's in Toronto, the Cubs in Chitown, and the Reds in Cincinnati. I have no idea how he got the cash to take me to all those ballparks, but however he did, he changed my life in the deepest way. We weren't to close when I was young, he was a drunk working for $8 an hour as a groundskeeper at a local golfcourse.

After walking around NYC, Toronto, and downtown Chicago, we had one last city to come across and that was the Nati. The moment I got out of the car and looked around, I found my true love. I don't know what exactly it was that made me so happy about Cincinnati, it was smaller than other big cities, the river was pretty gross, and it had a strange smell. But when we walked outside the gates of Riverfront Stadium I got so many goosebumps. I felt like i was home, I just didn't to leave, especially after eating Skyline Chili.

Once football season started that year I couldn't help but follow the team who wore the coolest Orange and Black helmets, and ever since then I've been such a diehard Bengals and Reds fan, I've also had the dream in which to open my very own Bengal Bar in downtown Cincinnati.

I'm still chasing that dream to open that bar, I've been raising as much money as I can, making the business plan for it, making everything possible. I've got a few investors interested in me at the moment, and soon I'll be moving to Chicago to make pitches to them for this amazing Bengal Bar I havehad  in mind for the city we call Cincy for all my life. People tell me I'm stupid for spending the last 13 years of my life obsessively working toward opening a bar for Cincinnati, and it makes me want to open it just that much more.

I don't know how my father raised that money to take us on that roadtrip, and I know it cost nowhere near the cost of opening a bar, but I will get there soon, and return the favor. He made me so happy taking me to Cincinnati, he had no idea how much of an impact it would have on my life. And when we raise our glasses in my bar soon, I just hope that makes him as happy as I was, and I'm sure that will make him proud. So for my father, and for my grandfather who grew up in an orphanage in Cincinnati whom passed away years ago, my bar will be dedicated to them.

I don't know why I love this place so much, but Cincinnati is all I need in life, when you look at it in your very own little way, nothing could match how beautiful and comfortable it is.

I love Cincinnati, and as aggravating as it is to be a Bengal fan, I wouldn't change it for the world.

Whoooooooo Deyyyyyyyy!

Love you pops

I keep hearing everybody say how bad we are going to be this year. I was somewhat excited about this year and thought/still think we have a chance at the playoffs. We have a fairly easy schedule and a new offense.

Even many Bengal fans claim how bad we are going to be. Do you guys have any faith this year?

It feels like everyone just doesnt really care about this season and is putting their foot down that we're already gonna suck!

So am I the only one who believes in a good season or what? If you think we have a shot at the playoffs this year let me know please!

What a depressing, long, boring, terrible lockout that was. Feels amazing to be back, cant wait to see our Bengals run out on that field again. I know many of you guys out there are just like me and thats living to see the bengals win, Every day i spend on this earth is dedicated to the Bungals, and as aggravating as it is, I couldn't ask for more. No city can beat the city of Cincinnati, Who Dey!

It's been a while since I've been on Cincyjungle and its great to be back!

But anyhow, here's my take on the Palmer situation.

Palmer claims he wants more change and a better team to work with in order to win and stay in Cincinnati. I frankly don't think we can give him a better offense than the one we had last year till the day he actually retires. What more could he have wanted? He had two elite recievers, Germaine Gresham who looked very great for a rookie, Shipley who wasnt scared to go deep in the middle, and Benson. He had a great offense to work with last year (besides bob) and he screwed the pooch! What more could he want?? We got a new OC, so that problem is solved. Palmer had his chance last year to get his superbowl ring and he blew it, so let him leave! 

All I want to see is us going to the playoffs next year with a new QB and rubbing it in Palmer's face as he sits and watches us go all the way without him. 

Hey, anythings poosible am I right? We can do it, and it will be amazing. WHO DEY!

My name is Clinton, I am 19, and live in Dade City, FL. I would argue that I am the biggest Bengal fan out there, every minute of everyday concerns Cincinnati in my mind, and here's why.

My grandfather was raised in an orphanage in the suburbs of downtown Cincinnati, obviously he had a very small pot of gold, but had a dream to open a bar in the city. He loved the Bengals, and spent his life raising money for his dream to come true. He was called into the army, lost years of his life, came back, married an amazing Irish woman, and died soon after.

My father brought me, my mother, and my sister down to Charlotte, NC with his job at HS-BC. I grew up being the only Bengal fan I knew, watching every game throughout every season, and my mother would always get mad at me for wearing my jersey 4 days a week. My dad lost his job, and our family was financially f*cked, and that's when I started to wear the same shoe's as my grandfather (except for the orphan part). I got myself a job at Lone Star Steakhouse as soon as I turned 16, I bussed tables and a year later I became a cook. I worked 35 hours a week putting 90% of every paycheck into my "Clinton's Bar & Grill" savings account (I did take $500 out eventually so my friend and I could take a road trip to Cincinnati to tailgate under the snow for last year's playoff game. We ate Skyline chili, walked around the city, and watched the Bengals get their asses handed to them, but it goes down as the best weekend ever spent). I soon had more money in my bank account than my father did. 

Miraculously, I made it into college, Saint Leo University down in Dade City FL. Thanks to my grandmother I had enough money to pay for my first year of my four years of "higher education". Due to my father still not working, I simply can't come here anymore.

Right this very second I sit here in one of my classes, writing my life story, knowing that in a few months I will not take anymore classes. I just got a job at Beef 'O' Brady's, and I now cook in their kitchen. I just found a 1br apt with a work buddy for $250 a week! (I know, it's probably the cheapest city in the world). I await passionately till I raise enough money so me and my hopeful wife can move up to the Cinn City in 2018, and open the doors to "Clinton's Bar & Grill in the year 2020. It will be B E A utiful, black and orange everywhere, jerseys on the wall, a huge bar, customized pool table of PBS, darts, and a replica of the Red's dugout overlooking the bar for you and your buddies to sit in and watch the games on Sunday. I've got it all mapped out in my head, and everyday I think about how I can make my Bengal Bar better and successful. I am looking for a bartending job, and maybe another job after that therefore I can work everyday till I moved to the streets of Cincy.

I, Clinton, will accomplish me and my grandfather's dream of opening the perfect bar for Die Hard Cincinnati fans. I can't wait till we all raise our glasses together and cheer on our team. It will happen, and that's why I wear stripes 4 times every week. Slainte to you all, and WHO DEY!

I lived in Charlotte, NC for 17 years before I moved down here to FL, and John Fox is twice as annoying as Marvin. He is so stubborn, there were countless games where Jake Delhomme would throw numerous INT's and Fox would keep him in. Also, Fox shows ABSOLUTELY no emotion on the sideline, if a player makes a stupid play to ruin the game- John Fox will act like the guy didn't do anything and give some stupid excuse. He has the most boring offensive style, and if we are down by 3 points with 2 minutes left in the half then he will always run out the clock into halftime, he never tries. Please for the love of God, all you Cincinnatians- do not let Mike Brown hire John Fox, our team will be in the toilet!

I'm not going to go on about how big of a Bengal fan I am because I could go on for days, but I have not missed a single game in over 5 years. This year has been the most disappointing, embarrassing, pathetic, and aggravating season I have seen since 1998 when we went 3-13, only winning one game at home with Corey Dillon at back.

Tomorrow  is the day where the Cincinnati Bengals will show the nation, no, just it's fans, that they either want to make a playoff run or just sit back and count the dough. They owe it to us, to me and you. I know there are many of you guys out there just like me who have been with the Bengals forever and always stood behind them, we can't switch to another team if we tried. But tomorrow is the make or break game.

If we don't win tomorrow the season is over. I don't care what anybody says, if we can't beat the Dolphins tomorrow then we simply can't go undefeated the rest of the season. Especially after losing to the, (it's very hard to say this), the Browns and the Buccaneers. I know we always play to our opponents advantage, but with all the stupid mistakes we have been making this year it just can't be done against teams like the Jets, Steelers, Colts, and the Saints. If the Bengals really want to make it to the Super Bowl, they have to win from here on out, they have to, maybe excluding ONE game, but that one game can't be tomorrow. 

They will either prove to us that they are in it to win it, like I said before, I haven't missed a Bengal game in over 5 years but if we are 2-5 tomorrow night due to the Dolphins I will not spend anymore money on watching this team put up a sh*tty performance. I now live down in FL and the only way I can watch them play is going out to bars, and I am fed up with spending 30 bucks to see our team completely embarrass me every week. 

This off season they gave us hope, they got Owens (who I don't necessarily want on our team but oh well), Gibril Wilson, Pacman Jones, Jordan Shipley, Jermaine Gresham, and all that good stuff. We have the best cornerback pair in the league, and in my opinion, Mike Zimmer is the best possible man for our defensive squad. They have all the weapons possible but they just don't have enough desire, if any at all, and BB just can't call a good play if his life depended on it. I don't know what we are doing at practice but it isn't working on teamwork. Carson has to step up and take control of his team, by this time he should not give a rats ass about what the upper arms say, he needs to pull no huddles and call the shots when the game is on the line.

I would take a bullet for this team to win the Super Bowl, they mean everything to me. I wait passionately until the day I can finally move to Cincinnati and open my bar for all you fellow fans. In about 8 years I am going to open the perfect Bengal Bar and bring Cincinnati together, making my bar successful and watching the Bengals finally make it to the Super Bowl is what I think about every 5 minutes of each and every day. I bleed Black and Orange, everything I do is dedicated to Cincinnati. I really hope Marvin and his squad shuts everybody in the nation up tomorrow and start the winning streak for the rest of the season. I'm ready for the nation to see us as a threat like we were back in 05'. It's going to happen, I have faith, and I know you guys do as well. I would give everything I had to be at the game tomorrow and lose my voice as we squish the fish. 

The time to win is now, I'm ready to raise my hand in the air and scream Who-Dey with pride. I'm ready to see Cedric Benson run the ball into the endzone, and I'm ready to see our team actually score a few touch downs and not field goals. I get goosebumps every time I just put my jersey on, and tomorrow our team will give us new hope for another playoff race.

Everyone else is with me right? I'm not the only one with these thoughts?

I can't wait to come together in the year 2020 in my bar and scream WHO-DEY with you all. Go Bengals!

All this season and last season we have all been pissed off at our coaching staff. I think Marvin Lewis should be moved to GM, Zimmer stay on the D, and put Mike Singletary from the 9ers as head coach. I know he hasn't brought many wins to sanfran but him and Zimmer both know how to put fire in their players asses. With both of them on the field I think that this team would have MUCH greater potential. What do you think?

Right now I am sitting in my pointless COM140 class here in Saint Leo, FL. This class is such a god given waste of time. Anyway..

There aren't really any teams out there that are making a mark in the NFL, besides maybe the Steelers which annoys the hell out of me. I'm just as pissed at our organization as you are, believe me. But with the Chargers being 2-4, the cowboys record, vikings, giants, saints, colts, all those teams don't have MUCH of a better record but everyone still see's them as great teams. We are part of that list, if we do our jobs and win just about every remaining game, we will win the division.

I want to know if I am one of the only ones still looking foward to the rest of the season. Do you guys still have as much heart as in week one? Do you believe we still have a shot? Or is the season basically over?

Hey i don't live in cincinnati, but my girl and i are driving up there soon. We wanted to know how much a chili dog would be at skyline. Is it really pricey? She wants to know which hotels have the best bath tubs for bubbles too, any suggestions? 
Thanks you big bunch of beautiful nipple cakes :) I look forward to meeting you soon, let's take a bubble bath bitches!

Who Dey

Cincinnati

Screw the steelers

Man, going into week one I know I wasn't the only one thinking that we were going to go at least 12-4.

We have all the weapons we could possibly need- Ocho, TO. Shipley, Benson, Gresham is showing great potential, but Palmer is playing like "who the hell knows".

Defense should be beastly besides the fact that we are weak on hitting. Crocker, Hall, Joseph, Muauluga, Jones, Williams, Peko, everything.

When watching them play, it looks like a bunch of guys that have never talked to each other trying to play football.

We need chemistry, and we need Palmer to step up on his passing game. Marvin Lewis and Mike Zimmer really need to put fire in everyone's asses in the locker rooms or else nothing will be achieved. There is no way we can expect to win just one playoff game looking like this. We may make it there, but certainly wont put up a decent fight.

I've been wanting us to run a no huddle offense for far too long, and when we decide to do it this year- Palmer gathers everyone to the line and yells out a bunch of b^llsh*t for twenty seconds. We might as well just join in a huddle if Palmer is going to take up the whole shot clock on the l.o.s.

Losing to the Cleveland Browns is just pure embarrassment. The Bengals just simply don't know how to kick the crap out of anybody, it seems like its just not in our nature. We are playing like we don't know how to score a freakin touchdown even when it's first and goal. I'm sick of these field goals, the offense needs to step up their game or else this year will be a dissapointment.

I know we are only a game behind the Steelers and Ravens, but there is no way in hell we can even think about ourselves coming close to the super bowl looking like this.

We can't even play decent against the Panthers. The Carolina Panthers, arguably one of the worst teams in the nfl along with the BROWNS. The team we have just gave a win to.

It is just pure embarrassment watching your team have so much potential and then lose to a team like the Browns. 

Who the hell knows how we are going to play against Tampa this week, it's sad that we have to go into a game against the Buccs biting our tongue and hoping that we will maybe come out with a win. A team like the Panthers, Browns, and Buccs are all teams where we should be saying "alright at least we have 3 W's under our belts for sure.

This weekend just really embarrassed me.

Of course I'll always love the Bengals, I couldn't hate them if I tried, but damn, so aggravating.

Who Dey! I'm the diehard bengal fan from Charlotte, NC and can't freaking wait to scream my ass off for Cincinnati in Carolina this weekend. Anybody going to the game besides me? I don't think there will be much orange in Bank of America Stadium this sunday, so you will hear me and my friends when we're on defense. Where are you fellow bengal fans from? Cincinnati? What other states?

Jimmy Clausen is going to get ROCKED, I've always rooted for the Panthers, but this week they better get OWNED

4 days away till the day we've been waiting for since January 17th, Bengals will obviously beat the Pat's in Gillett Stadium. I got a bit angry with the signing of T.O, i dont like his personality and i wish he brought his drama elswhere. I wanted to know if im the only one who doesnt want T.O here, i kno he has the ability to give us aid on the recieving game, but we could have won without the reputation on T.O..

I believe the Bengals will go 12-4 this year, what about you guys? Do you really think T.O will win us a few games?

Hey cincy fans, i live in charlotte nc and my friends and i are driving up next weekend to wach the broncos and reds game, does anyone kno how much a scalper would normally charge for a preseason game up there? Or the best way to get a cheap ticket? Thanks, Who Dey baby! Gah we'r gonna be so good this year, i cant wait to beat the Steelers twice once again, along with the Cleveland Shitstains

Whats your take on Owens, do we need his drama in Cincinnati? Will he really make our recieving team more dominant?

Palmer and Ochocinco have made this team much better than ever before, Owens could be a bust but for all we know he could bring us a playoff win. All we needed was a decent show of Palmer and his recievers vs the Jets and we would have been golden. Not mentioning Shayne f&ck*ng Graham
