ESPN NFL

Posted by ESPN.com's James Walker

We have a very special Voice of the People Wednesday.

Recently we roamed the streets of the Queen City and surveyed 100 Cincinnati Bengals fans on the state of their favorite franchise. Thanks to all the Bengal fans, most of whom were very frustrated. The story and the results can be found here.

But we couldn't run all of the fans frustrations in our ESPN.com article. So we decided to print more comments from our Bengal fans survey in this special, take-out edition of Voice of the People.

Enjoy.

1. Who is most to blame for the Bengals' current state?

On owner Mike Brown...

"He keeps undermining the coaching staff." -- Rich Jansen

"I would be a better G.M." -- Ian Sheckels

"He only cares about money." -- Tonya Noah

"Get Mike Brown out of the picture." -- Jim Nolen

"His leadership has led to constant losing decades." -- Asa Jarrayd

"All he cares about is money. It's time for Mike to step down." -- Brad Miller

2. Do you have confidence in Bengals' leadership to turn it around?

"They've had 20 years." -- Thom Monahan

"Not at all." -- Scott Beasley

"Not until Mike Brown gives up leadership." -- Asa Jarrayd

"No GM, no scouts, no change." -- Rick Kuethe

"Once they get it going, it will keep moving in the right direction." -- Tony Fiasco

3. Should Cincinnati trade Chad Ocho Cinco next year?

"If he doesn't want to be here, we don't want him." -- Scott Monahan

"Already missed the boat. It's way too late." -- Rich Jansen

"Make him suffer." -- S. Prater

"I'm sick of him." -- Tonya Noah

"He is a cancer to the team." -- Steve Gilpin

"He is bringing down the whole team." -- Ashley Rhodes

"Should've been traded at the deadline." -- Kyle Bildfell

"He is just a distraction." -- VJ Hopkins

"They should have traded him to Washington last year." -- Kyle Hennessey

"I think he's a funny guy." -- Jim Heideman

"He brings in a lot of fans, plus he's a great player." -- Sami Alfaya

4. Should the Bengals re-sign T.J. Houshmandzadeh?

"He's great, but we need many other things like offensive and defensive linemen." -- Ian Sheckels

"He's the best receiver they have." -- V.J. Hopkins

"He's my fav." -- Lisa Kuethe

"He's the toughest wideout in the league." -- Rick Kuethe

"WRs are a dime a dozen." -- Lisa Callahan said.

"Housh is a bright spot for this team. He stays out of trouble, isn't flashy and gets the job done." -- Brad Hill

5. Is Marvin Lewis the right coach for Cincinnati?

"His defensive skills have not showed and he's lost his grip on the city. He needs a new environment." -- Thom Monahan

"We need to just restart." -- VJ Hopkins

6. Will you buy season tickets for 2009?

"I'm looking forward to another 10 straight losing seasons." -- Rich Jansen

"Sell the Bengals to someone that cares!" -- Kristy Metzger

"ESPN always dogs the Bengals." -- Asa Jarrayd

"Have some sympathy for us -- seriously." -- Jim Heideman

"I will always be a Bengal fan." -- Brittany
