I think that the problem stems from the fact that there are troubles within the Bengals organization and people just do not want to admit it. The problems need to be dealt with internally and until that happens it makes for fodder for discussion boards. For every wrong I am sure that someone out there can find a right. But that still does not mean that the wrongs are not there. Until the wrongs get taken care of the talk will continue. We hear more about the Bengals than other NFL teams simply because they are local to our state and the news don't have to travel far. So please do not get offended when these situations are brought up.

I disagree. I, as well as probably any Bengals fan on this board, would admit that there have been problems within the Bengals organization. Furthermore, I believe the organization itself has admitted that there have been mistakes made, both by the knucklehead players and by the front office for bringing in these players. Marvin Lewis has come out and said that things are going to change, and the draft this year showed that by the team not taking any character risks.

I think that the Bengals, as a team, get an unfair rap due to the actions of a few. The majority of the players are good citizens, and I think those of us Bengals fans get tired of only hearing the negative, when at the same time positive stories get swept under the rug.
