Safety George Iloka on fans jumping off the bandwagon

[CrashDavisSports]

Let them jump off…I’m not worried about the people that jump off. We don’t want those fans anyway. We just look at the Patriots and how they came out with the loss on Monday night in prime time. All their fair-weathered fans jumped off the bandwagon and they’re probably back on after they beat us. We look to them and see how they came out and we hope to do the same thing on Sunday and beat the Panthers.

Can't say I disagree with him either.

looking forward to how they can rebound against Carolina, but they still proved they aren't ready for the big time. It's not a diss, it's a fact backed up by repeated tests.

Oh I agree. We suck on primetime, but we still have a good team. Just something about the damn lights causes them to look like deer.

AJ Green is still learning. I feel bad for him on that fumble, but I remember Chad went through a similar learning curve, although he got to sit on the bench while doing it, for the most part.

The Bengals don't have bandwagon fans. You'd have had to be very good sometime in the past 20+ years to have bandwagon fans.

Iloka probably shouldn't buy into the team's hype so soon. Especially to the point he's comparing their situation to that of the Patriots - a team that has won multiple SB's under the current coach and QB, and a team that has had a plethora of playoff wins the last decade.

Dear George Iloka,

Win something first, then come talk to us.

I wouldn't consider our group here to be bandwagoners, we've all seen some shit, but we're all still interested in what the Bengals can do, but we do encounter them in real life.

coffee station conversations where you inform someone that the bengals are in first place when the season is half over and they are like, "ok, maybe I'll watch them play"

P.S. The tight end is an eligible receiver on most plays. It's probably a good idea for a safety to get used to this idea.

I don't think the crowd here is who he would have been referring to. You have some pain in the asses that most often than not are pessimistic like Kramer and Flaming, but they have been here and stayed here.

There are some sensitive fans out there I am sure that will be too embarrassed to wave their colors this week. I wouldn't be one of those fans. I have been dawning my Bengals fleece pullover all day.

I wear a dirty white Bengals hat, but I switch it over for a black and white reds hat depending on what mood I'm in.

I just take it one week at a time.....last week sucked. Hopefully this week will be better. There's really nothing else you can do as a Bengals fan if you want to maintain your sanity. I have become numb to disappointment because I have experienced so much of it. There are some signs of improvement, but the problems we know of are still here, or at least most of them are. Can Marvin/Andy win when it counts? Until they do, our answer has to be no.


Edit: I guess the win at Baltimore could be considered winning when it counts. We can give them a pass for the debacle at New England if and only if the next big one falls in the win column.
