NFL Season 2021

[Blaze]

Cardinals fan… only started following a bout 5 yrs ago and it’s been mostly disappointing… this year seems to be looking pretty good tho!

I know I’m stating the obvious , but everyone here goes for the bengals for the obvious reason yea? I’m curious if anyone has a sorry to tell why they go for the team they do . I go for the browns , because they were so bad I felt sorry for them and wanted them to succeed and they reminded me of Balmain to an extent , dominant team prior to the 90s when the team left town , and they started from scratch a few years later .

I jumped on the Cards in mid 2005. No rhyme or reason at the time, but had too many Packers and New England fans around me and something just drew me to Arizona. The late 2000s run was a highlight, but this year they're tracking well.

Yet to be tested, but they seem to be stacking the deck in the last 18 months, so some play off time could make summer interesting this year.

They're my tip for the trophy this year. Looking good. Must be something about the teams wearing red: KC -> TB -> Cards?

Didn’t Cardiff city get Thai owners in the EPL and changed thier colours to red because it meant power or something ?

Also, along with all the things I've gotten wrong this year, I whined about the Jamarr Chase pick a lot. Sometimes you realise how little you know about football.

So did I mate, I was 100% wrong. I loved AJ Green, but he was such a Prima Donna, how nice is it to have a WR like Chase that will make things happen through effort and heart. AJ should have been a great of the game but he didn't have the heart and gave up on too many plays. Maybe Chase can get up there in my rankings of Bengals WRs with Chad.

I’m pretty sure a lot of pundits thought it was crazy getting chase over Sewell because of how garbage the O line was last year . And even then many said he wasn’t even that good but benefitted from the LSU juggernaut . Not many were fans of it . And Sewell might be out of the league as early as next year , because he’s been beyond rubbish apparently . I haven’t watched any lions games , so it could be hyperbole .

I've told this before but I started following the Bengals in the late 80's and would catch scores on the show Don Lane used to host. I have owned just about every version of Madden and once it expanded to include the Bengals started playing as them. Tried to follow them through the scores in the paper during the 90s but they really sucked. The internet made it easier to track scores, and once I could download the occasional game I really got hooked. I remember following the games in live game threads on forums in the early 2000's as well. The arrival of Carson Palmer and the belief we finally had a quarterback that would win us a Superbowl was another big push, then in the 2005 playoff game against the Steelers and they did his ACL really developed my dislike for the Steelers, many dirty things have increased that over the years. I learnt about the History between the Browns and Bengals as well, the way Art Modell treated Paul Brown that led to the creation of the Bengals built a dislike for the Browns, but that is more of a dislike of the Ravens now due to how Modell stabbed Cleveland in the back to move to Baltimore.

I have watched most games since around 2005, downloading illegally at 1st, torrents made it easier to catch a game sometime during the week after it was played. I now watch on Gamepass and it is steal surreal to watch a game live on TV and be able to follow the game threads on the Bengals forum.

I was lucky enough to attend the season opener in Cleveland in 2011, Andy Dalton and AJ Green's 1st NFL game. I now have a little soft spot for the Browns, despite them being division rivals, they are much better than the Steelers and Ravens. The Hard Knocks from a few years ago helped with that, but Baker Mayfield annoys me so I am glad there is something to dislike about them.

I love this quote from Sam Wyche when Bengals fans were throwing snowballs on the field.


Baker is loved by his teammates though , and he’s pretty honest during interviews and accountable . Sure he’s a mug lair , but he rally’s the troops , and gets wins even though I still think the browns should have traded down , and would have got him at 11th and beyond .

This is my favourite play since I don't know when. I love watching the Jacksn Carman block. Whoever he was blocking just would be too embarrassed to ever play again:

Browns are more Wests tigers than the Bengals in my opinion
