Cardiac Cats tee-shirts; Bengals keep improving in the rankings

by Josh Kirkendall on Oct 14, 2009 2:59 PM EDT in Analysis

First things first. I created a Fan Post at Battle Red Blog (Houston Texans blog) that introduces myself and asks their community if they have any questions that they may have about the Cincinnati Bengals. Any one of you are more than welcome to help out, bringing your perspective about the Bengals. I do advise one thing. Be on your best behavior. You don't just represent the Cincinnati Bengals fan base, but you also represent Cincy Jungle. How do you like that? I just went all high school teacher on your asses. My bad.

You knew they were coming. Smack Apparel has Cardiac Cats tee-shirts (h/t Bengals Gab)

Don Banks ranks the Bengals eighth. ESPN ranks them 6th.

James Walker likes Cedric Benson and Mike Zimmer. Then he takes it to the masses who laughed at him when he said the Bengals were the surprise team of the year.

WDR is happy tickets aren't selling at the pace of a sellout. In fact, they reiterate their original message.

While the Bengals are gaining respect, they don't have the respect many other teams have because of the team's history. I can understand that point of view.

whoever designed that shirt must have forgot that we have to play each of those teams again and we might not be as lucky...

i hope nobody buys that shirt

beating baltimore and pitt means little right now. we have a long road ahead of us and anything can happen… WAY too early for anything like this. Plus, it’s no.t like were the only team that beat (or will beat) PITT and Baltimore

Is it just me

Or do you hate the “Cardiac Cats” phrase? Especially from sportcasters?

WDR

While I support what WDR wants in general, I see no reason to boycott a 4-1 Bengals team. The bottom line is we want wins. As long as we get wins, there is no reason to point fingers for losing. (exception for the departed Brad St Louis, though I do wish him the best.)

I am willing to accept the possiblity that Brown got better. Maybe he listened to his advisors more, maybe the wheels just haven’t fallen off yet, but until they do fall off, I don’t support the boycott.
