  1. Nah, after the 0-3 start, I knew the window was shut and sealed. Bad coach and front office fell into magic with Burrow, Chase, Higgins and Hendrickson and inherited a few of Marvin’s guys like Boyd and Bates and had 2 good years

    Back to the regular bengals.

  2. The bipolar of the average 25 and younger reddit Bengal fan makes me laugh.

    When they win or winning during a game, the birds are chirping and the sun is shining and when they are losing or lost, the day is ruined and they want to kill themselves.

    It is a football game played by men that excel with a dead animal hide.

  3. Bro….. The reaction in #2 is the same reaction to #1 but louder.

    I get it, it’s meant to be funny, but a lot of y’all are spoiled af. I would rather have this season and this team over the best roster of the Marvin / Dalton era, and I actually REALLY liked Dalton.

  4. The only difference is the expectations. Before the 2021 season started, I thought the baseline was maybe a 6 or 7 seed, because of the fact that three of the Bengals division foes all made playoff appearances. Those expectations changed midway in the third quarter in a certain week 7 game. I didn’t think it would lead to the division title, the end of the losing streak in playoff games, and that playoff run that included not only a road playoff win, but a Super Bowl berth earned against the same team that the Bengals won the division title against. That was fun.

    So was the subsequent season finishing with multiple wins in the regular season, plus two more playoff wins, with a decisive road win in snowy Buffalo preceded by the nailbiter against the Ravens. I’d rather have the disappointment of the finish against the Chiefs in the subsequent AFC championship game versus last year’s 4th place finish. But with this year’s team, the latter is much more likely to happen. Those of us old enough to remember the 90’s, I think we’re prepared.
