Some of these people wouldn’t have lived through the Palmer or Dalton eras, let alone, the 90s
Too funny to not upvote. Bruce is the man.
We know how this goes. We will go on a winning streak just long enough to miss out on the playoffs and secure the 14-18th pick in the draft but it is okay because “we are building momentum for next year.”
Lol, I grew up in the Marv Lewis era. That’s the only bengals I know outside of this current team. The only good thing about that is that I’m already numb to the bengals losing, it just feels natural.
I was born into the shit show and disappointment that is Cincinnati sports. The past couple years have hurt worse than before 😔
And it’s not “there’s always next year”, there was so much off season contact drama all our studs want to leave. We’ll go right back to “rebuilding” which is another 4 year thing– then we have to HOPE we find a generational talent like we did with Burrow/Chase
This has longer ramifications than the usual “we’ll get em next time”
There are many of us Burrow and Chase fans that root for the Bengals AND the Saints on a weekly basis. Talk about a double whammy of pain lol
At least this team is competitive and fun to watch compared to all the terrible pre-Marvin teams I had to watch from the day I became a fan in 1993, just in time for the Dave Shula Era.
I watched Jon kitna play for what felt like 8 years
Being this loyal to losers has hurt my soul. I only k own the Marvin Era and it pained me.
Lmao we’re so back baby
Lions fan who adopted you all during the magical run. Thought it was so special considering the history, which I understood all too well. Burrow did for you what Stafford wasn’t able to do for us. I badly wanted him to win that bowl over Stafford.
I’m loyal in all aspects of life so never jumping off the ship, but damn, it’s painful here. Burrow and Chase deserve better
I hate that the 2022 Super Bowl was the event that made me like football. I feel tricked into liking this team and now it’s too late because I already hate everyone else more.
Now watch Jamar and Higgins walk in free agency
Sell the team and have Phish do an annual summer residency at the stadium.
I’m almost 43. For ages I just wanted to see them make it to the playoffs. Then all I wanted was 1 win. Then Joey B had to fuck it all up and take us to a SB and now my perception on what to expect is all out of whack. Honestly this is one bad season. Joe has only played 2 other full years and got us so close both times. I don’t think he’s gonna be demanding a trade or that Chase won’t sign his deal or anything, but look at Allen and Mahomes. If they missed the playoffs it would be a major disappointment. Heads should fucking roll after this disastrous year. But we could also win 6 straight and sneak in at 7 and ZTs job will be secure for another 100 years. I’ve been here forever. Shit is rough, but you just kinda learn to roll with the punches.
I remember this from the mid-90’s with my college buddies. Every year from ’95-’00. Our war cry has been “This is our year!”….
Watched a little kid, no more than 8 years old, with his dad at the game last night. Clearly the kids first game. SO excited.
Then watched the kid crying at the end of the game and it felt like I was a 5 year old watching the ‘89 Super Bowl all over again.
Get ready little kid. You’re in for some fucking pain 😂 WHO DEY!
I’ve been here since Boomer was in the SB why are you all acting proud that we’ve never held Mike Brown accountable.
Meanwhile in here bitching about a kicker like that’s the problem.
Yeah it’s been brutal becoming a fan during the SB run.. can’t even imagine what it’s like to be a fan of a team like KC but I just can’t stomach their whiny QB with his super annoying wife and other people I won’t mention..
