thawrench Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 On the Bengals first possession, the announcers hit all of the tired Bengals talking points. I wasn't able to see the game (until now) but I was checking the NFL website on my phone and the first headline I saw was something titled "Captain Kirk" and the sub title was "Cousins leads the charge over the Bengals"... meanwhile it was 7-3 Bengals. A little bit ago the headline is "Double Trouble!" and said something about that RB and Cousins "chipping away at the Bengals lead". Now it's "Pryor gets UP!" and says Terelle Pryor and the Redskins are "gaining" on the Bengals. How about saying something about the team that's leading? No? I hate the NFL. Yeah Tony Gonzalez says ate the Bengals that good or are the Redskins that bad. Marvin Lewis needs to be more aggressive and shut up all these haters. 5 wide on 4 the and short all season lol Sent from my SM-G935V using Go-Bengals.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saphead Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Oh it's alive and real. And we are on the opposite end of the spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleEarl Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 All about the money. We are a small fanbase in the NFL. The national guys aren't going to spend the time covering the Bengals and will just revert to the same recycled messages. The Bengals are a sideshow to the networks. They are there to highlight the big dollar teams. It's not fair, it's a business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SF2| Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 We are nothing more than filler as far as the media is concerned. We are the Milwaukee Bucks of the NFL. We round out schedules for teams like Pittsburgh, Washington, both NYs, New England, Seattle, Dallas and NOW the super duper LA teams. The money comes from TV and nobody in TV wants a successful Bengals team to drag down revenue. Luckily Green Bay has a long time following and great QBs the last 20 years. I am sure the league continues to worry about Chicago not playing well but us or the Browns,??,...LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saphead Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 It's interesting that for this latest Vontaze fuck job many of the stories I've seen are using his old file photo when he had the dreads because he looks more menacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the league does anything intentional but the announcing is pretty one sided at times. Perfect example is the constant blathering about all the arrests we have had recently. Funny thing is Denver and Minnesota have had MORE since 2000 than then Bengals but you NEVER EVER hear about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you write here is a totally different statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That suspension is a big "Fuck You" to the fans. Just like sending us the same ref crew from the WC game the next time we faced Shitsburgh. They're sending a message.

What you write here is a totally different statement. I said the league doesn't do anything intentional but they sure as hell don't want us to be successful. We are a filler team. Every league needs filler teams. The NFL was ecstatic when ultra rich tech heavy Seattle and San Francisco were winning again. Popped a boner when Atlanta with their new stadium made the Superbowl. Detroit, Cleveland, Kansas City, Buffalo need not apply. The Burfict suspension should not be a surprise. They were looking to make a point and Vontaze was the perfect person to do it with. Based on the new rule, the hit is illegal. That said 5 games is fucking retarded. Burfict just knocked him to the ground, it wasn't a vicious hit with any intent to injure. I think the average person can tell when a player is intentionally trying to hurt another one. Here is an example, notice the lowering of the helmet and targeting of the head: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
