Last week, Bears fans
had to face up to the reality of how bad their team is after it lost to the San
Francisco 49ers. Today, Cincinnati
Bengals fans have to face up to the reality of how bad their team in the wake
of yesterday’s 33-7 loss to the Bears.
It’s nice to see the
Bears’ coaching staff finally decided to let quarterback Mitch Trubisky be
Mitch Trubisky and allow him to throw 32 times, some of them even downfield,
and it’s nice to see a team with a coach worse than John Fox. (Maybe Fox and Marvin Lewis will switch jobs
this offseason. You never know.) What really caught my eye were the no-shows
at Paul Brown Stadium, some 13,000 at kickoff and just about the entire stadium
midway through the fourth quarter save for family, friends and travelling Bears
fans.
Of course, it’s a
publicly funded stadium, so Bengals ownership is protected against the full
brunt of a fan revolt. Before taking
sides, I need to know whose idea it was to have cheerleaders and name them the
Ben-Gals (get it?), no less. If that’s popular
with the fans, then they get what they deserve.
