What's up with that? From now on, I am Andy11. The Andy with the Detroit question is an imposter. Anyway. JT, you didn't answer my question about Madden. Did you miss it or just didn't like it? Don't tell me you are too cool for video games. There is another Andy on here….. What’s up with that? From now on, I am Andy11. The Andy with the Detroit question is an imposter. Anyway.

I would have to agree with JT here, if you are not a fan then just be quiet or go root for a team you deem worthy. Why be a Bengals fan if you expect them to lose? Go cheer for the Steelers or the Patriots with all the other fans who just like sports when their team is on the up. I hope Worthlisberger hits you on his bike. @ Ron

Percy Harvin in the second round? Doesn't sound like you are a Bengals fan. Why be a fan if you hate them so much? It's easier to just root for someone else. You have to have some optimism Come on.

I say the Commish gives the Bengals this brutal NFL schedule to begin the season. Correction, the Bengals will start the first half of the season 1-7. JT, did you hear about Mike Brown petitioning the NFL for a favorable schedule to begin the season. Is this true? What a nutcase! I predict Marvin is fired or resigns during the bye week. Don't think it won't happen because of Carson Palmer. The team went 0-4 or 0-5 to begin the season with him at QB. Also, Jeremy Green of ESPN predicted that Carson would demand a trade after the 2009 season is a disaster. I think Chad is not traded during the offseason and doesn't play the season after re-injuring his shoulder that he never had operated on during the offseason like the Bengals asked him to do. I think he will hurt himself on purpose and just sit out the season on IR and collect his 2.8 million dollar salary. Marvin has no control in how the team is managed. After he started losing the more and more his power diminished. He is a puppet for Mike Brown now. Also, I believe the Bengals will pick Andre Smith in the first, WR Percy Harvin in the second round and they will both be out of league in 3 years. These guys have major character flaws, just how Mike Brown likes them. @San Diego - Loss @Minnesota - Loss Chicago - Loss Baltimore - Loss @ Pittsburgh- Loss Denver - Win @Cleveland - Loss Houston - Loss The NFL schedule comes out on the 14th of April.

The Bengals are back to signing turds like Tank. I believe the NFL Commissioner has it in for the Brown family and will stick it to them for the first six or eight games with a brutal schedule. Can you say 0-7? I’m back guys I it looks like this will be Marvin’s last year in Cincinnati. The Bengals are back to signing turds like Tank.

Sorry JT, but i'm going to use you as an example. I remember when you signed here people complaining that we signed you instead of Daryl Gardener or Hugh Douglas the two guys ESPN had in their top 10. I think everyone here will agree that you were a quality free agent even though ESPN didn't rank you in the top 10. One thing I’ve never understood is the arguement that teams don’t sign “Quality Free Agents” most of the time I ask people who they picture they name the Albert Haynesworths and the other ESPN “Top 10 Free Agents of 2009″ just because a team signs a player that isn’t in the Top 10 Free Agents doesn’t mean they are not a quality free agent signing.

The 1 year deal is good for both Tank and the Bengals. Tank hasn't performed as well as he can the last two years and wants to prove himself. By giving him a one year deal the Bengals get a highly motivated player at a position of need and don't have to invest a lot of money if he doesn't pan out. There is a core group on defense but holes still need to be plugged. 2. Everyone has question marks in their history and every team signs many players with question marks equal or bigger than the Bengals. Even Matt Lienhart had questionable character issues. Cutler also showed that recently. Would you want your employer going over every stupid thing you did as a college student and using that to determine if he should keep you employed. 3. What makes you so sure there isn't a plan. Just because you don't think a "tank Johnson" is a great quality free agent doesn't mean he is not. If all of us talking heads here could determine quality draft picks and free agents we would be working in the NFL not complaining about it. Lastly if Mike Brown really only cared about making the most money why sign Tank to a veteren contract and not just fill his spot with a 6th rounder at half the cost??

Is there a core group on this defense? Or will the Bengals continue to be patchwork defense. If Tank has a breakout year, do you think he'll be back in 2010? 2) What about character? Okay so Tank may have avoided trouble for a season. He may never get in trouble again. But should you continue to build your team around players with a questionable history? You are begging for problems. Furthermore, how does this enable you to attract players of high character, who will want to play for you for 4 to 6 years? 3) Where's the plan? Instead of building a TEAM through the draft and with quality free agents, Mr. Brown always seems to find a way to just fill positions. There's no 5 year plan here. There's no plan here at all, except filling the roster enough to say, I have an NFL team, therefore the Brown family gets a cut of NFL revenue. Here’s the issues with signing Tank:

Bengals need to bring you back and let you play end with Geathers on 1st and 2nd downs. Would that work for you? Odoms can spell you on passing downs? John,
