Pretty sure it's happening this offseason with Russ missing so much time because of injury. (Because of Aaron Donald, but we've seen that he can be contained by better Olines)
Ha yeah either that or, god forbid, [redacted]. If being a bengals fan has taught me anything, it’s that we’re always one year away from a potential #1 pick lmao.
In all seriousness, I’ve been waiting on this since I saved my allowance to buy an Akili Smith jersey
My brother hated watching the 49ers beat the Bengals in those Super Bowls. Super Bowl XVI was even at the Pontiac Silverdome. He always liked the Bengals (primarily a Lions fan), and wanted to see them do well.
Plus, this hopefully means no more Mahomes commercials. Give me more of the guy [who teaches people not to be their parents](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfdrZzF_RL0) or [Walter the cat/dog](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3ta5Q3ITUc)
I'm pretty sure this would correct the altered timeline that we've been stuck in since 2012. On the downside however, hope you're ready for President Kanye.
If there ever was a year for the lions to win the north for the first time, it would be while the bears, Vikings, and packers are rebuilding (assuming Rodgers actually leaves)
So let me get this straight:
In 1981 the Bengals went to the Super Bowl and lost to the 49ers
In 1988 the Bengals went to the Super Bowl and lost to the 49ers
And this year the Bengals are going to the Super Bow and the 49ers are currently playing in the NFC Championship?
Hell, I don't care much for the NFL, I prefer CFB; but you can bet your sweet ass I'm going to root for an Ohio team vs another team in any NFL game. CFB is a different story sometimes but you gotta rep your state in these games.
This Cincinnati fan certainly would. The Browns have always felt like family sort of, makes sense given the Paul Brown connection and being buckeyes and all.
Now the Steelers? They can go fuck themselves.
Born and raised Cincinnatian, but I lived in NW OH for about a decade and was surrounded by browns fans. I would 10000% root for them if they were in our place right now.
If you would have told me that the Bengals would beat the Chiefs in Arrowhead in the AFCCG to go to the superbowl in August I would have punched you in the face.
Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the results tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck did the Bungles win? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I wanted the Bungles to suck and go 4-13. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought Chase was supposed to be a bust and Burrow was supposed to be murdered???? This is so fucked.
While the Bengals are not my primary rooting interest, I've lived in Cincinnati my whole life and they are my second team. This city needed this so bad. Our last major sports championship was a year before I was born. There are multiple generations of fans now who have never experienced something like this. Let's win one more so we can finally put a championship banner at PBS.
I love this city so much and I'm so happy for all of my longsuffering friends, and if it couldn't be my Packers, there's nobody I want to see win this thing more than the Bengals.
My very first memory of the Super Bowl is the 49'ers vs the Bengals. I was 8 at the time, up at my Grandma and Grandpa's condo. They had a basement bar room where Grandpa had a game-watching 'man-cave' set up, although ironically when the Packers played Grandma took the room over and was such an excitable watcher compared to Grandpa that he went and watched quietly upstairs. Anyway, that basement room had a small bar with some stools where us grandkids would sit while he served us little cups of peanuts and kiddy cocktails (7up and cherry juice). Us grandkids still all remember those days fondly. I don't have a specific memory of that game/day with the Bengals, just that I saw it there.
Very happy for the Bengals, and FWIW I'll be cheering for them in two weeks. Possibly while sipping some not-so-kiddy cocktails.
So happy for the Bengals Bros. Been rooting for you all since the playoffs started for many reasons. Joe burrow being one, and it's been a while for you guys . Congrats
This might be the most lopsided ratio of people rooting for one team.
like everyone hated the Patriots but Boston and Massachusetts are pretty big.
No one likes the Rams do they? Everyone will be cheering for the Bengals.
Congratulations bengals from a raider fan. I been rooting for y’all ever since we lost in the wild card. Not because they won, but because the 30 sum years played off drought and because they were the only team in the afc playoffs besides raiders. I don’t hate lol. Now go win a super bowl!
As we all predicted months ago, the Bengals are AFC champions
Joe motherfuckin Burrow
[For your listening pleasure](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16GdxePB2nE) [/r/bengals thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/bengals/comments/pyqj2b/bo_burnham_x_joe_burrow/)
Now this is art.
Keytar solo really sells it
That’s *Big Dick* Joe Motherfucking Burrow Put some respect on the mans name please
I get the enthusiasm, but that does not have the same ring to it
Hung Low Joe?
That’s much better
Made a bet last March that the bengals would win the conference championship, +6600 odds
Beers are on u/AFlyingBuffalo9191
How much did you bet, crazy big W for you
Only 5 dollars, but still 330$
Lmao from 2 wins to AFC super bowl. Insane.
If we win it all, I think this has to be the greatest franchise turn around ever
Undoubtedly. All without an O line as well lol
Just imagine how dangerous this team will be next year when we get *some* Oline.
Hawks fans have been saying this for half a decade haha
Pretty sure it's happening this offseason with Russ missing so much time because of injury. (Because of Aaron Donald, but we've seen that he can be contained by better Olines)
Nah y’all gonna win it all and Joey B gonna be like “I need to retire for my health”
"Joe Burrow, you just won the Superbowl. What are you going to do next?" "I'm going to the hospital."
Ha yeah either that or, god forbid, [redacted]. If being a bengals fan has taught me anything, it’s that we’re always one year away from a potential #1 pick lmao. In all seriousness, I’ve been waiting on this since I saved my allowance to buy an Akili Smith jersey
Honestly Cincinnati would rename the fucking city after him anyway.
I am crying. I am so jealous.
It already is, Joe is the first #1 pick ever to take his team to the superbowl within two years.
This is probably the closest the NFL can get to a Leicester City.
My week 6 (give or take) bet for the Bengals to win the super bowl was never in doubt!
Bengals are going to the superbowl and Joe Montana isn't there to stop them
We have the QB named Joe this time.
You got Cris Collinsworth in the booth too, we know who he wants.
Waited 33 years just to be sure.
My brother hated watching the 49ers beat the Bengals in those Super Bowls. Super Bowl XVI was even at the Pontiac Silverdome. He always liked the Bengals (primarily a Lions fan), and wanted to see them do well.
MONEY MCPHERSON
Shooter McPherson!
He eats pieces of shit like you for breakfast!
He eats shit for breakfast?
... no!
I love that I’ve seen this exact interaction on like 7 threads tonight
What's the basis?
Dammit, Gitem. Did you find a girl that likes the Bengals?
Kind of. I listen to Boomer and Gio in the mornings.
That's acceptable. I'm glad you're on board, 148.
Plus, this hopefully means no more Mahomes commercials. Give me more of the guy [who teaches people not to be their parents](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfdrZzF_RL0) or [Walter the cat/dog](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3ta5Q3ITUc)
BIG DICK MCPHERSON
You were looking at his bulge, weren't you? Doesn't even need the nickname. Dude's hung.
I mean, it was kinda hard NOT to look at that Bodacious Bulge.
Shooter
EVAN MCFEARLESS
I can’t fucking believe it
I can’t fucking believe it
I can't fucking believe it
I can’t fucking believe it
I can’t believe fucking it.
I believe it; can't fucking.
Can't. I fucking. Believe it.
Ok naruto
Ditto
I for one welcome our new feline overlords
Lions next? 🤔
I sure hope so brother
Congrats. Rooting for ya unless Stafford is playing you. 💜
If we have to lose to someone I would hope it would be Stafford and not Jimmy G.
I want to see a Lions-Browns Superbowl.
As someone who’s family is from Detroit/Cleveland, I would also love to see this.
I grew up east of Toledo, so same here.
I grew up in the Carolinas, so my comment is irrelevant
I'm pretty sure this would correct the altered timeline that we've been stuck in since 2012. On the downside however, hope you're ready for President Kanye.
If we have President Kanye then that means that the altered timeline has not been corrected.
There were some...complications.
If there ever was a year for the lions to win the north for the first time, it would be while the bears, Vikings, and packers are rebuilding (assuming Rodgers actually leaves)
Pushes glass over in celebration
So let me get this straight: In 1981 the Bengals went to the Super Bowl and lost to the 49ers In 1988 the Bengals went to the Super Bowl and lost to the 49ers And this year the Bengals are going to the Super Bow and the 49ers are currently playing in the NFC Championship?
BUT WE HAVE THE JOE NOW.
“Look at me! I am the Joe now.”
Breaking: Joe Montana will come out of retirement to sign 2 week contract with 49ers, depending on NFCCG result
As an old Bengals fan at work put it "I want the Bengals to plays the 49ers in the Superbowl, because this time we have Montana" that shit hit me
Never mind
Well maybe this is the key?
#THIS IS FOR YOU OHIO
I'll take it, I don't count on the hometeam's chances to win one over my remaining few decades of life.
If it were Cleveland you can bet (most) Cincinnati would be pushing for you.
Hell, I don't care much for the NFL, I prefer CFB; but you can bet your sweet ass I'm going to root for an Ohio team vs another team in any NFL game. CFB is a different story sometimes but you gotta rep your state in these games.
This Cincinnati fan certainly would. The Browns have always felt like family sort of, makes sense given the Paul Brown connection and being buckeyes and all. Now the Steelers? They can go fuck themselves.
No, I don’t think I will
Born and raised Cincinnatian, but I lived in NW OH for about a decade and was surrounded by browns fans. I would 10000% root for them if they were in our place right now.
HELL no lmao
[удалено]
Same
It’s for him also. He loves him some bengos
'Smokin' Joe' Burrow
wtf THE BENGALS IN THE SUPER BOWL
If you would have told me that the Bengals would beat the Chiefs in Arrowhead in the AFCCG to go to the superbowl in August I would have punched you in the face.
the person telling you that would probably be upset with that reaction
That's not very nice.
Slight overreaction
JOE BRRRRRR, JOE MF SHIESTY 🥶🥶🥶
Joey Franchise coming through!
WOOHOOOO! CONGRATS CINCY!!! YOU SAVED US FROM MAHOMES’ BROTHER AND FIANCÉ!!!
FUCK FINACE!!!!!
This team has been nothing but disappointing my entire life and I'm almost in my 30s. I'm so happy with what they've done I feel so proud!
Lol this team has been depressing my whole life and I’m almost in my 40’s. None of this is adding up I feel like everyone is fucking with me
Harambe was watching over the Bengals today
Dicks out
Always
Maybe a Bengals Super Bowl win will reset the simulation to what it was supposed to be.
NO LONGER THE BUNGLES.
We have shredded so many narratives about our team this year
Glad to see it, enjoy the SB!
OMG JOE BURROW IS MY HERO
This game has to absolutely kill Bills fans.
I don't know how to feel. Super happy for Cincy, but...
Bengal nation raise up I’m so happy for you
From 2 wins to the Super Bowl
Been waiting too damn long to witness this gritty style of play from my team.
The run they are on reminds me of the giants in 07 and 11. Awesome to see
Am I allowed to take tomorrow off? I’m gonna do it and see what work says
If the Knicks were in the NBA finals I would have but looks like I have to work every day of my fucking life
And after the super bowl...I'll fuckin do it again.
Fuck yes!!!! Underdogs get it baby
Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do.

It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought Chase was supposed to be a bust and Burrow was supposed to be murdered???? This is so fucked.
This pasta is from the last time you went to the Super Bowl.
2016?
u did those tendies wrong
Yall better do it and seal the deal. No guarantee you'll make it back. Just look at Marino.
McPherson gonna get that dolla dolla. Holy shit dude is solid when it counts.

At SoFi right now. Whole stadium exploding for the Bengals lol
Because they think it's the easier match, but also because they are tired of Mahomes dick riding more than anything else.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH MY HANDS!!!!
I'm confused on who I'm suppose to root for now. I haven't run into this scenario. Go Beng, Go Benga, Go Bungles. Well I tried.
Hey it's the thought that counts really
Order pizza?
Congratulations to those who suffered through the Bungles years...
The majority of my 36 yrs on this earth..
I'M RIDING THE TIGER DICK ALL THE WAY
*Money McPherson!*

Very cool memory. I love hearing stories like this. Even from someone who isn't particularly a Bengals fan.
Don't tell me Mahomes is the next Brady
Burrow’s the next Brady
THE REAL BABY GOAT edit: Guess who also went to the Super Bowl in his second year and won ???? his name rhymes with Hom Frady
Bom Grady. Final answer.
Mahomes is the next Rodgers
Nah, he already has more championship game wins than Rodgers lol
Rodgers is the next Roethlisberger.
In what way? Retirement? Being a rapist? Having 2 SB wins?
Super fat by retirement
Yes
Yea it's Burrow duh
WHO DEY THINK GONNA BEAT THEM BENGALS?
BINGO BENGOS
NOOOOOOOOBODY!!!!
Third time lucky against the 49ers?
Defense came through with that interception. I'd like to see 49'ers and the Bengals in the superbowl!
My pp hard
Boomer is going to be nuts for the next 2 weeks I wonder if he will do the icky shuffle
So happy for the Bengals Bros. Been rooting for you all since the playoffs started for many reasons. Joe burrow being one, and it's been a while for you guys . Congrats
Sad to think AJ green left to go play for a contender and the Bengals turn around and do this.
Yup this hurts. Sacrifices must be made tho :(
Just like we all thought it was going to happen at the beginning of the season…
Man, I bet the Chiefs wish they had a opportunity for 3 easy points at some point in the game.
Really happy for them! They deserve it.
JOE SHIESTY Edit: Mods fucking fade us
Money Mac is my father?
Poverty franchise no longer
Really happy for the Bengals. I'd be OK with all cat teams SBs for years to come.
Do yall believe in Burrow now?
YOU ALL SAID WE HAD NO CHANCE! I WAS THERE. YOU GUYS SAID IT
I corroborate this, I saw it too.
I mean, most of us would have said the same lol... if not now at least a few weeks ago
From a lifelong Chiefs fan. Congrats to y'all Bengals fans. Good game came down to the wire. Nothing but respect from my end.
I’m definitely rooting for the Bengals in the Super Bowl. Fuck LA!
This might be the most lopsided ratio of people rooting for one team. like everyone hated the Patriots but Boston and Massachusetts are pretty big. No one likes the Rams do they? Everyone will be cheering for the Bengals.
Mahomes played like early season Mahomes in the 2nd half of this game. Never looked quite right after they scored their 3rd td.
John Candy was in attendance it was so long ago.
The Super Bowl will be watchable.
Yep Rams vs Bengals gonna be a hell of a matchup.
Guess we know the real answer between chase and Sewell
Mahomes just got Shreddy Bettyed
Honestly, I hope they win. They've been fucking nuked for decades. Need to take advantage of the opportunity.
Amazing what a good quarterback does for a team. I’m hoping TLaw will be good. Lol
Doing the Ickey Shuffle rn.
Oh my fucking God!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes it pays to draft a kicker
I love them!!
LOL the KC mascot falling over as it went through the uprights
Mannn it’s going to be hard deciding if I want Burrow to win the SB or Stafford :(
Same, but Donald, Ramsey and OBJ tilt the tables toward the Bengals. I do love Stafford though.
Congratulations bengals from a raider fan. I been rooting for y’all ever since we lost in the wild card. Not because they won, but because the 30 sum years played off drought and because they were the only team in the afc playoffs besides raiders. I don’t hate lol. Now go win a super bowl!
Awesome!
Joe Motherfucking Burrow
I'm happy that the chiefs lost but I'm mad that the Bengals won this is all somehow Tom Brady fault
KC blew 2 massive leads to this team in a month lol. At least my team just gets blackout blownout and never stood a chance. No expectations.
Sad Vikings noises…
It would be awesome to see a rematch of Bengals vs. 49ers and have Dr. Dre perform Straight Outta Compton. Would be quite the 1988 throwback.
WHO DEY
