'On Jan. 30, The Cincinnati Enquirer bannered a headline suggesting that the Bengals were making new and steep financial demands on Hamilton County. The headline was not accurate in any reasonable sense.'

The Who Dey Perspective is a bad example of Bengal Front Office propaganda.  As a season ticket holder it is frankly embarrassing and shameful.    In its latest 'issue' it seeks to justify why Hamilton County needs to foot the bills for additional improvements to PBS at a time when the County cannot provide services to those who desparately need them in this recession.  It's just another example of the heartlessness of the Brown Family.  While they might be legally correct, the real question is, what is the RIGHT thing to do?  Can't the Brown wait a few years until the economy straightens outs or indeed, publicly FORGIVE the County of its obligations?  And, this is happening at a time when the NFL is negotiating BILLIONS of dollars of worth of income!  Talk about another PR fiasco.  It's bad enough when you field a poor team (managed or otherwise) and overlay that with bad PR.

After how many-five games the Bengals are averaging at least 80 yards of penalties a game.  Almost a touchdown per game.  Lost field position per game.  Lost momentum per game.  Several years ago the Bengals had a similar problem with line penalties at the beginning of the season.  It didn't take Marvin 5 games to fix the problem.  The team hired a ref to coach the line, and voila the problem went away.  Why not now?  The penalties are absolutely killing this team!  Dumb penalties that require line discipline.  One bright spot in the San Diego game was that Ocho had no penalties!

If there is one consistent problem with the Bengals this season, it is generally bad offensive game planning.  In fact, one might argue the only reason why the Bengals are in the hunt is because of their defense.  Yesterday's game is a case in point.
