Angst in Bengaldom, always high ahead of a division game, has bee magnified even further this week by Cincinnati’s anemic 1-4-1 record coming off the bye under head coach Marvin Lewis.
Well, take heart, Bengals fans. That lonely win came back in 2003 over — wait for it...

The Cincinnati Bengals made some roster moves today, the most prominent of which was signing FB Fui Vakapuna off of the Arizona Cardinals practice squad. Vakapuna was originally drafted by the Bengals in the seventh round last April, but didn’t make the final roster and the team...

I see Cincinnati radio yakker Lance McAlister has fired a broadside on his blog at fans who think they could run the Bengals better than owner Mike Brown (gee I wonder “who” he might mean…?). Looking back at comments and polls during the 2009 offseason, Lance notes...

A quick look at where the the Cincinnati Bengals rank headed into the bye.
The Bengals remain atop the division by a nose. The margin of difference between Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Baltimore is miniscule. All three teams are within six points scored, and three (3!) allowed. Each...

The Cincinnati Bengals destroyed the Chicago Bears 45-10 this afternoon. It was so bad that the Bengals put in No. 2 QB J.T. O’Fridays with more than 10 minutes left in the fourth.
Apologies to my three or four regular readers for being AWOL today. I was stuck in traffic, beating...

There’s a bit of grumbling in Bengaldom tonight over the team’s re-acquisition of DT Orien Harris. Fans wanted a bigger splash, preferably a trade for a name DE to replace Antwan Odom, who was placed on injured reserve today, ending his season.
I’m not unsympathetic...

Well, that old Bengals bad luck that soured many a season returned in full force today, leaving the Bengals with a troubling 28-17 loss to the Texans and perhaps a few devastating injuries. As bad as the defense was – and it was bad, letting Matt Schaub throw for 392 yards...

An horrific day in Cincinnati, where the Bengals lost not just the game, but DE Antwan Odom and DT Domata Peko. Odom, the team’s leading sacker, left on a cart with Achilles injury and early reports are that he’s done for the year; Peko went out with an unspecified knee...

If you buy one Bengals book this month, I have a better suggestion than the self-absorbed Ocho Cinco. Instead, spend your hard-earned $29.95 on this (h/t Bearman Cartoons):
The book looks at the Bengals from their founding in 1968 up through the death of Paul Brown in 1991. Best, click...

Unfortunately for you James, I do. Props for having some faith, but let’s not pretend you were the only pundit (and not even the only one at espn) to peg the Bengals as a surprise team.

I might be talking about you. Or your brother. Your cousin. Or that annoying guy at your office. Whenever the Bengals win a bunch of games – and they have now won four in a row – the wishy-washy Bengals fans come out of the woodwork. Fine, go ahead, I’ll never turn...

Brad St. LOOOpsey Daisy cost the Bengals three more points this year with another high snap that resulted in a missed field goal. B-Rad clearly needs to get cut at this point. It’s obvious his problems are deeper than just a hiccup and are instead a full-blown case of ineptitude...

One of those offseason artifacts that gets picked over when there are no games to play is strength of schedule. Based on last year’s finishes, it’s an imperfect — at best — measure of what a team faces. So, four games into the season, here’s how the schedule...

So, how much does it suck to be WR Chansi Stuckey or LB Jason Trusnik today? Yesterday, they looked playoff-bound; today…well, not so much.
Bye Braylon! So long and thanks for all the drops!

Right now, it’s popular to damn the Cincinnati Bengals with faint praise. “Yeah, they’re 3-1, but they’re only a handful of plays away from 0-4.”
The reverse, however, could have been said after four games last year. “Yeah, they’re 0-4, but...
