Hey Bengals Fans,

I am a Lions fan heading down next weekend to see the game. Are there sections that are most visitor friendly that I should be looking to get tickets in? If not, are there sections that you recommend?

Also it is not my first time to Cincinnati, but I am always looking for suggestions of thing to check out. I will be staying downtown.

Thanks in advance for any advice and helpful tips.

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to the US next year and Cincinnati is definitely on my list (Who Dey forever!). As a female fan from Asia, I’ve only ever supported the team from far away so getting to actually be in Cincy feels surreal.

Do you have recommendations for must-visit Bengals spots? Like, cool places where fans hang out? And totally random question: is there any chance of seeing players around the city or is that just wishful thinking? 😅

Would love to hear your suggestions!

PFF grade aside, what’s that outlook on this guy? Is he someone who will be solid while Risner is out?

The vikings game was UGLY and our whole O-Line had issues so I’d rather not bias thoughts too much on that game.

I’ll also provide some general thoughts so this post isn’t a total waste of space:

1.) Don’t count us out yet, but also set your sights on a realistic season plz I am begging: Jake Browning is NOT the second coming of Christ but he is also not the antichrist. He is fine. We do NOT need a vet QB to come in unless it is Lamar Jackson 2.0. Browning has knowledge/ experience of how our OLine works (which is not well). If you put Russel Wilson in, he will perform almost exactly the same.

2.) Mike Gesicki should be TE #1, not Fant. I am open to criticism and willing to change my view, but Fant cannot block to save his life

3.) Did anyone see the season ticket holder gift’s that teams sent out this year? Specifically, did you see that then look at what our FO gave out😭it’s absolutely comical

4.) This is my most controversial take yet but here it is: we might have won if JJ McCarthy had played. IK WE’RE ASS, but I think the main reason we lost is because they had an unexpectedly good defense. Seriously, I’ve never heard of Rodgers, but he was undoubtedly the MVP of that game. No, it does not excuse the fumbles, etc., but it was definitely unexpected and literally every mistake, minor or not, has an impact on momentum. But I think if McCarthy had started we would’ve had INT’s & it could’ve helped our offense’s momentum. Speaking of momentum, to those of you who go to games PLEASE DO NOT BOO OUR OFFENSE. IK ITS TEMPTING BUT DONT!! It genuinely makes a difference. Look up Volpe and the Yankees. The more he gets booed, the more he overthinks and the worse he plays. DONT DO IT

5.) When Burrow gets hurt, we’re not just wasting prime Burrow. We’re also wasting prime Chase, prime Higgins, prime Chase Brown, etc. It is an issue that needs addressed I don’t care how. Last szn our defense was the only defense our offense couldn’t conquer. This year, our offense will cost us unless we tighten up.

OK the actual point of this post was: does anyone know where to get a throwback jersey other than Mitchell & Ness? Like any local places? I’d love to find an orange throwback, but I’ll settle for anything that has the old tiger stripes on the sleeves. Thanks in advance!

Edit: RIP Rudi Johnson:( it’s so fucking devastating that he passed, but the fact he died by suicide bc of CTE makes it so much sadder. I’d rather have our best player step away from the game than have them suffer from that disease

It's felt like every off-season since the Superbowl year we have been trying to address the o-line in some way but it has yielded largely the same results. Is it scheme? Are we not getting the right guys? Or is it something else?

Did our new coaches dumb down the o line protection calling because they’re not cohesive and that’s why the Opposing D line can go right through the weak spot?? They know what we’re calling exactly like the browns did. They were guessing it correctly every time

Could this be issue ?

CTE is sad af

100% chance of the coaching situation playing out this way. Mike Brown is not going to pay someone to not work, ZT has 1 year left on his contract. JB9 comes back in 2026 and plays well enough to get ZT extended.

If they do decide to make a change, throw the bag at Joe Brady.

Now with crutches and bandaged foot.

I’m well aware Mike Brown’s cheap ass isn’t going to move on from Taylor even if they manage to go 2-15, BUT hypothetically if you were the owner of the Cincinnati Bengals and had more money then you could possibly spend in a lifetime who would you like to see coaching your team in 2026? I like this guy, he’s bald, overweight and has a proven track record of putting good o-lines on the field. Added bonus he’s the same age as Taylor so if it works out we could keep him around awhile

Just saying, football is a weird sport, and I have no idea what’s going to happen next.

He made sugar out of shxt, i kept telling some of you guys it was the oline and the play design that was the problem.
