Paul Brown Stadium is going to be full of black bearded fans wearing Yellow and Gold.

In the NFL anything can happen...

I think Cincinnati will keep this close.

31-24 Cincinnati Wins.

(This is more in hopes that the Browns will beat Washington and be within a game of 1st in the AFC North).... I can wish, can't I?

It's always a home game for Cleveland and Pitt when Cincy sucks.

mjb, or someone else in Pittsburgh, will have to confirm this, but I always heard that the Bengals would actually do an ad in Pittsburgh to get people to buy tickets for the Steelers-Bengals game in Cincinnati. Now there have been more Bengals fans at the game the past 4 years or so but prior to that, yeah, it was basically another Steelers home game. They always have more of their fans there than the Browns do though. Regardless, it's proof that all the Brown family cares about is money. They don't care about winning it all. They want to win just enough to sellout games and keep fans interested and buying Bengals junk. What you all need to realize before anybody decides to criticize Bengals fans for dumping their tickets is that it goes way beyond 2008. People are getting tired of giving Mike Brown money. Even though these things don't work, they are already planning a walk-out of the Nov. 16 game against the Eagles and there is a group trying to gather more members to boycott all Bengals merchandise, future tickets, etc. This Sunday someone is paying to have a plane fly over the stadium from 11 AM to noon towing a sign that says, "Mike Brown Step Down."

Everyone got a taste of winning in 2005. They want it back. I want it back. More and more people are realizing that Bengals ownership needs to change for that to happen.

It has to change for it to happen. At least on a semi consistent basis that is. One 12-4 year every 10 or so years is just not going to do it.

Wherever Pitt goes, it's pretty much a home game.

I think the folks in maybe Green Bay and Dallas would beg to differ.
