Somehow the Bengals are 3-1. It hasn't been pretty but it's a vast improvement over their 0-4 start last year. With 1:04 left in the game and the Bengals facing 4th and 11, I began to mentally prepare myself for another tie. Two ties in two seasons? I think I would almost prefer a loss just to avoid hearing all the jokes about the Bengals always finding a way not to win. But there was something different about this team on Sunday. They had a special aura about them, a unique vibe that, at first, I couldn't put my finger on what it was. Then it hit me. The 12th man, aka the crowd at Blackfinn, actually helped Palmer on his first down scramble that led to the winning field goal. That's right, by drinking beer and watching the game at Blackfinn, you too, can help the Bengals win football games.
Seriously though, we appreciate everyone who came out to watch the game and drink almost free beer at Blackfinn. The crowds are growing each week, and with a trip to Baltimore on the horizon, the 12th man will need to play a large role if we hope to stay in the game. And for those of you doubters that don't think Aubrey O'day was actually at the bar, well, I guess you'll just have to come find out. More pictures after the jump.
You'd be surprised at how vocal the Bengals fans in attendance got at Browns Stadium on Sunday. The Browns fans quieted down after the fumble recovery TD until midway through the third quarter, and the Bengals fans essentially took over in overtime, as I'd say 30% of the Browns fans left during the Bengals' final drive in regulation play, and they continued to trickle out for the duration of the overtime session. Imagine if we could organize enough Bengal fans to be a factor at Heinz Field, like the Steeler fans have done so many times at PBS. That's a day I'd like to see.

Is that girl in the Geathers jersey the same one that was in Reach Magazine this month? Can we say LOCAL CELEBBBBB???

Uh, ahh news flash, losing a game is ALSO 'not winning a game.
As to who Aubrey O'Day is, just another vaccuous 'Hollyweird' slut.
As to having enough fans at Heinz field... ...you must remember that the Bengals suck roadkill scrotum and because of that, they send far more tickets to Pittsburgh than Pittsburgh makes available to Bengals fans... ...so you will NEVER see a situation like what we currently have being the same as on the Pittsburgh side of things -- they are much better of an organization in all respects. Use your brain.
Finally, who gives a shit about some 'Porcupine' -- what does that have to do with promoting the ideology of WDR?
(BTW, a porcupine is a girl that you can look at and say: "If she's had as many pricks ON her than she's had IN her, she'd look like a Porcupine!)
