USN Bengal Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Come on now... tomorrow by this time, I know there will be at least two or three of you that are ready to quit Bengaldom because we haven't signed a major free agent... man up! Who is it going to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eva4ben-gal Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'll quit being a Bengals fan if they actually DO sign a major free agent by this time tomorrow because it means the world is coming to an end and I've got some serious face time to put in at the local chapel.

ChicagoBengal Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Eh...I'm going to say nobody. Last year's meltdowns were mostly due to trades falling through, although if we do end up resigning T.J., we may need to talk Go down off of the ledge.

scharm Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I really don't think you can beat last year's first day. It was a day of negative smack talk, then Rogers appears landed so there is response and then the ultimate of the deal falling through. It was awesome entertainment.

I can remember being excited the night before, then being disappointed when nothing happend right away, then being thrilled to come back late and read about Rogers, then turning on ESPN and getting the bad news. Fuck, I hope for a much less active day tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccartman2 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm jumping the shark on ProFootballtalk.com. Their site is down at the start of free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENGALS666 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Not exactly what "jump the shark" means.. but these folks exist on every team forum in the league and we probably collectively handle it better than the others via sheer experience.

MULLY Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm not going anywhere. Although it pisses me off to no end that the Bengals can't get their shit together they are still my team and I'll be along for the ride come September.

gatorclaws Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 turningpoint just entered the competition in the free agency thread... [quote name='turningpoint' post='750035' date='Feb 27 2009, 08:19 AM']Once again we drop th ball on FA's, whats new! I'll check back in a in a couple of days maybe some free agents will receive there letters in the mail that were interested.

bengalsdave985 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 He must have been living in Bagdad the last 15 years or something if he expected the bengals to sign someone while we were sleeping. I have no expectations for the next few days so anything we do is gravy. We all know the way marvin likes to do things, right or wrong, I am not going to mash my teeth over this stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyrid Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I might nominate myself. Not that I'll quit being a fan or anything, but I have to admit I'm already frustrated and it sucks to see good players that fill needs and we don't even appear to be sniffing around them. Jason Brown for example has 4 visits setup, nothing about Cincy. He's the only good center under 30 out there. We know we have a giant hole at the position. We know we have the money. Why not at least setup a visit and gauge the market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that Hobson column comes out, and we all know it will, I am going to be one depressed Bengals fan. I think its worse this year because we are likely to lose a very good player (TJ) and because we were so awful last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown wants to be paid like one of the elite Guards in the NFL. Which is about $7-8 million per season.
