It was exhausting because we're new to it. I look forward to it becoming more the norm over the next few years and we become jaded with playoff wins instead of holding our breath every week.
Also the Bengals and their fans just finished a season with a team that played more games than any team in the history of the NFL (now tied with the Rams).

Everyone is saying we'll make it back to the superbowl either next year or in the near future and, honestly, I'm not really looking forward to that idea.
Maybe this is just the superbowl loss talking but I'm just really tired...
The 2021 season ended just hours ago, and for our team and 30 others, it ended without a Lombardi. Being an NFL fan is like being Sisyphus pushing that damn boulder up the hill only to watch it roll back down again for all of eternity. But, you keep doing it because, one day we'll crest that hill and watch that boulder roll away! Or not. Who can say? Such is the nature of fandom.
Give yourself some time to process it. Come August you'll be ready.
