Cry, Whine and Moan: Bengals, Browns, Vikings

By MJD

It's that time again. Your team came out again this week and laid another black, rotting egg full of pain. Shutdown Corner invites you to share your frustrated rants right here, in the company of other fans in just as much pain.

Included among the eligible teams this week, of course, are the Cincinnati Bengals, who fell to 0-4 and could be looking at something catastrophic with Carson Palmer's elbow injury.

Browns fans, you won, but I'd understand if you didn't feel that good about it and wanted to let loose a few choice words yourself.

Other than that, we've got the Vikings at a disappointing 1-3 after losing to the Titans. Cardinals fans, feel free to wonder aloud why your team gave up 56 points to a 68-year-old man. Broncos fans, you lost to the Chiefs, and feel free to moan about that, but I think the big picture still looks decent for you.

Once again, rule for this thread: no taunting. It's a safe zone for fans of teams who are struggling, so they can get the anger out and sleep a little better tonight. We'll feature the best ones tomorrow here on The Corner.

Let it all out. Click on the comment button below, and vent vent vent.

    Yeah, Cinci needs to draft some better O and D linemen, we can't block and can't get to the QB. I think Chad Ocho Sucko is about to blow up mentally not letting out his frustrations as he usually does. I'm trying to think of a positive note.......nope, can't do it ;(

    Oh yea it seems like the NFL followed the upset trend from college. Raiders beating San Diego? KC beat Denver? Rams over Buffalo? Matt Millen got fired??!?

    As a Bills fan I'm not looking forward to the second half of their game... the Rams first win can come against another team please...

    The Bungles...Cleveland did not exactly light up the score board either. Both teams looked like they were in quicksand and the offenses were so predictable. I must say, however, The Brownies did win and in this league, that's all that matters. Ohio sports are hurting right now and suffer from inconsistency.

    Being a fan of the Bengals is like being a fan of eating glass; it starts out horrible and just gets worse from there....

    Mike Brown (Bengals Owner) has planted his seeds and he is now reaping his harvest! The Bengals aren't a disgrace... Mike Brown & his family are.

    Derrick Anderson had 1 good quarter out of 16 played this year, but that is the reason the knucklehead coach and GM will stick with him. He is awful and that one frigging good quarter will only prolong the agony. The Browns will end up 1 and 15 unless they play Quinn and fire Crennel,

    Agreed Art M, until Mike Brown is gone the Bengals will never be a factor in the NFL. Palmers injury is very concerning because there was no real talk of it all week and suddenly he can't play...odd to say the least.

    What the ***ing **** with Carson Palmer? He killed me last year, in every league. So this year, I pick him up and he is awful. As of Friday, he says he's fine. Today, I start him for the first time, but he's out. However, at least he is not a moron. That would be me for picking him in the first place.

    Cincinnati Bengals Update - - Poor defensive play, poor offensive play, special teams mediocre. A new def coordinator, same old results. Same old off coordinator, same reults. Hmmmm. perhaps a HEAD coach not a huggy buddy, one who would plant a foot up the player's backsides would help. But to quote Marvin, "We just have to work to get better." Oh sorry, I forgot how could I even dare to cast doubts on the million dollar babies and the teflon excuse-making coach. After all they do work hard for 6 months of the year. To bad it isn't during the NFL season on the field.

    Don, everyone knows the Bills are a second half team (look at Weeks 2, 3, & now 4) From one fan to another, no need to worry. Speaking of which those Rams just look terrible. I feel sorry for Steven Jackson.

    I think the Bengals keep losing because I'm a fan. Whatever team I'm a fan of will be doomed, no matter how much talent they accumulate. Sorry other Bengals fans.
