WRAPradio Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I’ve been a Bengals fan for a VERY long time, as most of us have. Even with the recent success and as bright as the future looks, I haven’t been able to allow myself to fully embrace that we’re really a good team; it’s like I keep waiting for the dream to end. I’m really trying to “let go of the demons” so I just wanted to list some things that I remember in hopes that they hold me back from being excited about this team going forward. Maybe I can even laugh at some of them. I remember… How upset I was that we drafted Levi Jones over Philip Buchannan (even though that turned out to be a better pick) Superbowl XXIII (and now LVI) David Klingler Drafting Akili Smith instead of getting all of the Saints’ draft picks Our version of “The Fumble” Carson being Kimo’ed The ML era playoff 0-7 mark Brandon Stokley catching a tipped ball and steaking up the sidelines in the last seconds The preseason injuries to highly drafted RBs in Detroit Tyler Eifert The 90s Spittin’ Dick (LeBeau) We-Dey Anyone that’s ever referred to my team as the “Bengals” I know there are more, but I’m hoping that in some weird way this will let me really enjoy the success going forward!

I_C_Deadpeople Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I am using selective Alzeheimers to purge my memory of the past Bengal follies. One SB win in my lifetime will be worth the past pain and suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saphead Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I still can't believe it. I wasn't even all that upset after the SB because I think I was still in shock watching Mike F'n Brown accepting the AFC Championship trophy with that trench coat & ball cap on, which is exactly how I envisioned him doing it lol.

A Rock Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Last year I was just hoping and praying we'd finally win a playoff game. This year I'll be disappointed with anything less than a championship. I know that's wildly premature, and pro football is a wildly unpredictable sport year to year, but this hope is based on two things. Firstly, and obviously, my heart is with the Bengals. I deeply enjoy watching this team succeed. Secondly, I think on paper we're the team to beat. We had a glaring deficiency that caused us to come up just short last year, and the front office dealt with it immediately. That is DIFFERENT. The unstoppable force that is Burrow and Chase is winning out over the unmovable object that was the front office's ineptitude. It's truly remarkable for us long time fans. The three new o linemen and our new tight end are all solid pickups and they're talking like they've all bought in already. Hope they grab anybody else they can and have a good draft. I'd like to see this team start crushing other teams like the early to mid 90s Cowboys. Why not? This fanbase deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think JB wants to crush the inbred fans belief that theyre a superior team.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
