The Cincinnati Bengals have shocked most of the NFL in 2009 so far. They started out with a last second loss to the still undefeated Denver Broncos. They have since defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, and the Baltimore Ravens, their three division foes.
While reading profootballtalk.com this morning, I read a story that made me believe that the fans in the Queen City don't deserve to have a successful team.
With more than 1,500 non-premium seats available for Sundays game against the Houston Texans, the Bengals are in danger of a local black out.
Is it that they don't believe that the Bengals are for real? Maybe it is because the team is winning with defense instead of offense?
To me, to complain about your team when they are not successful is within your rights. To not support them when they are winning, there is no excuse for that.
PFT say that maybe it is because the following week against the Bears is a better game to watch, but I don't buy that.
Currently, the Bengals are in first place in the AFC North, with wins against the Steelers and Ravens, and the fans are not even supporting their team. There are plenty of teams that would be willing to trade places with Bengals fans.
Don't believe me? Ask the Cleveland Browns!
