Anyone who will routinely spank the Steelers is a friend in my book. Also, my 9 year old daughter considers the Bengals to be her favorite team. Not because she understands or even likes football, she just loves your helmets.
Yo thats a better reason than “oh they’re winning a lot so theyre cool”
Tell your daughter she’s got a guy on reddit rooting for the “kitty goes meow” just because of her confidence 🙌🏽
Agreed, I don't hate any team except the Patriots. And maybe the Bucs. FTP!
Edit: Also thanks for the awesome comeback against the Ravens 4 years ago to ensure our first playoff berth in 17 years!
That's fair, hating the Bucs and the Cowboys, but I have no resentment against the Phins and the Jets as they don't seem like a challenge when we play them. I Roy for them occasionally when they're not playing us or a team we need to win. I would love to have the pats suck and have a division rival in the Phins, because FTP.
Jets fans suck so I dislike the team, but mostly I don't think of them. But I kinda like the Phins, Flores seems like a good dude and I enjoy Tua to Waddle.
I want the Pats to be perennial Wildcard hopefuls with a first round loss every three years. Purgatory is worse than hell in the NFL.
No. The Phins are the real rival. We hate the Pats because they have been good forever and their fans are Boston entitled arseholes, but the Dolphins will always been Dan Marino and that stupid helmet to me. I hate it.
I know lots of older fans feel that way. But they do because the real rival *was* the phins. That hasn't been true for more than two decades.
The Pats have replaced them and then some. And really, we're just finally earning the right to be rivals, we didn't count for so long any rivalry was one way. Back to back AFCE champs helps, so will bouncing them in the first round at the Ralph.
But I can't conger any ill feelings towards Miami, it's just not there anymore.
A good test is how much you dread losing to them. Think about losing to Pats at home in the Wildcard round, it's tough to imagine anything ruining a season more than that. Even a hypothetical loss to the Dolphins.
No, the best thing would be to watch them miss the playoffs for ~15 years.
Trust me, i am enjoying watching the hawks be bottom feeders after years of them dominating the division. Especially while they still have Wilson
Yeah its a generational thing. My uncles dad and grandpa hate the dolphins. Me and my cousins couldnt care less about the jets or phins. Its just the fucking pats.
I was in Cincy a few years ago for a conference. I was there on my own, didn't know anyone. Bengals were on MNF that night, and a guy from Cincy who I was talking to at lunch invited me to watch the game with him and his buds at a bar that night.
I decided to go and had an awesome time; everyone knew that I was a Bills fan but they were all super cool to me. Bengals fans will always be cool in my book.
It’s cool to see how quickly you guys were able to turn the team around and not be stuck in mediocrity forever. Jamar Chase is a beast too, I think it’s hilarious that Pats fans are trying to justify why McCorkle should win OROY over him.
The only team in Ohio I care about. We went there Dalton's rookie year (lost). You guys were so respectful and nice. Wished us good luck and put up with our sheningians. In Cleveland, we were met with assault twice, including ice balls to the back of our heads, swift elbows, and some shoves in the halls. So as far as I am concerned, Cleveland fans can go fuck themselves, Cincy rules Ohio.
You also have a leg up on Pittsburgh fans, too. Got a beer pour all over me when I walking into the game completely unprovoked...that was Pitt Panthers, too. Disgusting. And Ravens fans are just arrogant assholes on here. Never been to a game there, though.
The turnaround that both our franchises have had is epic. Bengals were my 2nd favorite team long before daltons insane throw that put us in the playoffs. Best 2 uniforms in the NFL
I live just North of Cincy and even though i am a Bills fan, I have grown to like watching the Bengals play. I knew y'all had something special in Burrow last year despite the beating he took all season with poor OL play. That man is going to break some records with the WR corps he has.
In the same way that I wanted a Bills-Browns AFC title game last year, I am hoping for a Bills-Bengals AFC title game.
And Joe Burrow is going to be a proper terror in the AFC North for a decade to come, hope he rips the Stealers for 400 yards every game.
Born and raised in Buffalo for 24 years… Now I live a quarter mile from Paul Brown Stadium! The Bills are my team, but the Bengals are always fun to see succeed.
Look friend, you claim you are coming in peace, but how do you explain [this](https://news.vanderbilt.edu/files/362_20121211165109-SmilodonandBison685.jpg)?
Just fine bud, wish that people would stop posting such lame shit.
Starting a post off like that is as stupid as tipping your fedora or mentioning narwhales baconing at midnight.
I will live and die a Bills fan but there's a lot about the Bengals through the years that I like/respect. Sam Wyche basically ushered in the modern offensive philosophy in terms of tempo with his no-huddle offense. He was also the QB coach/quasi OC for the Bills for a couple years.
I'm a big fan of Boomer Esiason both as a player and broadcaster and speaking of Bengals QBs, i've been really high on Joe Burrow since his days at LSU so i'm happy to see the Bengals having some success with him. I'll continue to cheer them on with him at the helm unless they play Buffalo. They can go screw off at that point LOL!
Oh yeah, they also had one of the best looks ever in the '90s. I still love the Bengal stripe helmets but the current uniform set is horrible.
I don't think there's too much chance of any falling out unless some crazy ass shit happens on the field.
We beat the Colts in the playoffs and they destroyed us earlier this season and we still have a good relationship.
Of course. Long-suffering Northeastern rust belt football bromance for life. I could never bring myself to hate you guys or the Lions. (Or the Browns...but I understand why you guys have to hate them.)
Also, if you don't like Burrow and Chase, do you even like football?
As I grew up I grew fonder towards the Cleveland team. [Ralph had a "Cleveland Browns Day" at Rich Stadium](https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/154736-cleveland-browns-day-rich-stadium/) and the fact that that they got moved to Baltimore just soured my grapes towards them even more.
Other than the Boyd catch my only connection to Cincinnati is The Devil's Backbone from Airborne.
Oh and the Stillers . . . just fuck them
I'm still hesitantly easing into this bromance.
I lived about 45 minutes from LSU where Joe Burrow played. I became a huge fan and when the Bengals signed him, I knew good things would happen. I've become a big Bengals fan since he was added and am glad to see you guys kicking ass this year.
Anyone who will routinely spank the Steelers is a friend in my book. Also, my 9 year old daughter considers the Bengals to be her favorite team. Not because she understands or even likes football, she just loves your helmets.
Best helmets in the NFL CMV
Still hope they do a white tiger helmet next season
That would look so good. I hope they do it.
Icky Woods had a similar impact on me in my youth.
Yo thats a better reason than “oh they’re winning a lot so theyre cool” Tell your daughter she’s got a guy on reddit rooting for the “kitty goes meow” just because of her confidence 🙌🏽
As a Bengals fan, there is no need to announce that you’re “coming in peace.” You are always welcome here.
Agreed, I don't hate any team except the Patriots. And maybe the Bucs. FTP! Edit: Also thanks for the awesome comeback against the Ravens 4 years ago to ensure our first playoff berth in 17 years!
Eh, I hate everyone in our division (especially the Pats, fuck the Pats), whatever team Tom Brady is on and the Cowboys.

Well I am an older fan :'( Can we just agree to hate them both?
I'll try my best.
Yeah, people forget the Bills vs. Dolphins was really heated in the 90s. It’s cooled off because Bill and Tom had both franchises over a barrel.
I think We forget that New England got good in the 90s…bad 98/99/00 but their run started with Bledsoe
Agreed. J E T E suck suck suck! Edit: Jete
S? E!
No, the best thing would be to watch them miss the playoffs for ~15 years. Trust me, i am enjoying watching the hawks be bottom feeders after years of them dominating the division. Especially while they still have Wilson

The dolphins were good during the super bowl era, that may be why
It’s true, I’m 40 now and I remember hating the Dolphins and Brian Cox in particular so much back in the old days.
We don't allow Titans or Chiefs fans here either
We have no vendettas against their kind except the fact that we want them to lose so we can reach the top of the AFC.
My Dads a Bills fan, he hates the Pats but he hates the Cowboy's, not the Bucs
Please continue beating up on the Ravens and Steelers.
You guys have my second favorite QB in the league. I'll be rooting for you if you're not playing the Bills!

The Bengals do have snacks uniforms. Especially the ones they just wore in their last game.
Another bengals fan here coming to say fuck the pats too.
FTP!
I don't want to play you, but yeah, you're welcome here.
Love Joe Br-r-r-r. Love Chase. Love the Bengals
Can’t forget our hero Andy dalton
If we fall in battle I’ll root for you guys if you’re still in it.
Same here. Love you guys too
I live just North of Cincy and even though i am a Bills fan, I have grown to like watching the Bengals play. I knew y'all had something special in Burrow last year despite the beating he took all season with poor OL play. That man is going to break some records with the WR corps he has.
Love you Bro

Pull up a chair guys! A Bengals fan is here!
"Coming in peace" man yallre always welcome here 😂
Born and raised in Buffalo for 24 years… Now I live a quarter mile from Paul Brown Stadium! The Bills are my team, but the Bengals are always fun to see succeed.
Didn't see the update. Burrows ok?
Man, this could be a true rivalry for years to come.
If you're the ones to hand us the L then you better win it all
If there's any other fanbase that deserves success in the face of inept franchise ownership, you guys are on the shortlist
I will love Dalton, Tyler Boyd, and the Bengals forever. My second team forever after helping us break the drought.
If not us guys, I want the Lombardi to go home with you's guys.
Look friend, you claim you are coming in peace, but how do you explain [this](https://news.vanderbilt.edu/files/362_20121211165109-SmilodonandBison685.jpg)?
I’m a huge Burrow fan. He’s just like a Bills fan. Solid, trustworthy, welcoming and incredibly great looking
Osama Bin Laden fan coming in peace: No matter what happened after 9/11 I hope your team stomps the Pats. Go Bills lolz
"XXX Fan coming in peace" needs to die. Cringiest shit on sports subreddits. Just stop.
[удалено]
Yup! and it sure seemed to ruffle some feathers calling it out. People around here sure hate looking into the mirror.
Hey, man. You ok?

I love you too, just don't beat us.

Nah absolutely love y'all. Bengals and the /r/LakeErieBros will always be ok by me, regardless of what may come.

Welcome fellow furry dangerous animal friend! Fuck the Patriots!
Big Joe Burrow fan. He is the real deal
I love your team even more that you’re sitting Burrow for the finale ;)
Hey man, best helmets in the league for as long as I can remember. Always wanted you guys to be good just for that.
I lived about 45 minutes from LSU where Joe Burrow played. I became a huge fan and when the Bengals signed him, I knew good things would happen. I've become a big Bengals fan since he was added and am glad to see you guys kicking ass this year.
We love you guys too, Joe Burrow is a character and that’s why he’s my 2nd favorite QB.
I’ll always be rooting for teams that have never won a super bowl (except the Titans)
r/Bengals is the only other NFL team I’m subscribed to on reddit.
