Same here. I really haven't cared what the Ravens, Steelers, Browns do or any other NFL team each week since the 2015 Bengals season because The Bengals have not been in the play-off hunt since the 2015 season.
So to say I do this Every Sunday would be a lie. When Bengals are around last place, why would I care what the other teams do ?
You are on it. This bye weeks games are relevant because the Bengals are relevant in 2021. Good chance this is the first time that I cared about Bye Week games since the 2015 season. If the Bengals are not in the play-off hunt, then the other games don't matter.
Which brings me to Browns on TV in my Ohio area Sunday, and I will be do something I never do, I will be rooting for The Patriots. The Ravens went down as I watched that game Thursday. Now I want to watch the Browns get beat Sunday. and Go Lions if they can pull that upset over Steelers.
The Ravens moved up in their Bye Week as Bengals lost. Only fair Bengals move up in their Bye Week as Ravens lost, and I hope The Browns LOSE, and Steelers LOSE also. I'm not one of these root for The Browns also Ohio people. I hope the Patriots clobber The Browns. But as you say, these games are only relevant because in 2021 The Bengals are relevant again. I don't do this every week, this is the first time since around 2015 that it mattered what the other teams do.

I only really care for a few hours on Sundays, the occasional Monday and Thursday. I can easily compartmentalize this team anymore. I don't let the lows get to me so I enjoy the high while it last because it seldom lasts very long..

That frustrating feeling of having to root for the Lions...
RE: Dolphins, Patriots, Lions Could Help Bengals Bye-Week - kevin - 11-14-2021
Big Ben is OUT now, so Lions chances just improved.
Go Patriots over Browns and Lions over Steelers. Way to go Dolphins over Ravens.

Not like they are 2-3-4 games out mid season. #1 & 2 we beat plus are 2-1 in our division. Let this play out before we rule them done.

If Browns and Steelers lose, we jump to 2nd and game back of 1st.

Stop it. You just made it move a little.

Well, for anyone who thought that the clowns were just flat out better than the Bengals...cleveland is proving to be just who most of us thought they were...average and very beatable. Hope the Bengals are taking note.

...which is easy considering they’re playing the Steelers. I’m also having zero trouble rooting for the Patriots to wipe the Turds off the map.

TD Pats, up 31-7.

Seeing the lions & pats give our opponets a good fought game which NE pretty much as has it won. Or our inability to win the last two games.

New England looks great again. They play nearly flawless defense. The way the Patriots cover tight ends and runners catching passes out of the backfield is extremely impressive.

What the Lions, Patriots and Bills is doing to the same opponents Bengals have played tells me it has a lot to do with game planning.

When you have the talent (which we do), it's on the coaching and ability to give you the chance to win with your talent.

Pats did their job.
Ps. Pats look dang good.

Watching browns and jets get absolutely handled by average teams probably tells us where we really are.
Course pats also getting pi calls we never got.

The game started almost exactly the same to ours with the browns rolling on the opening drive to score. Took 3 series but the Patriots took over.
