Sorry to vent just worried about "the franchise".  I am the eternal optimist.  The 49'ers broke my heart twice and the Steelers really got me in 2015, but being a lifelong Bengal fan is about to "break" me.  Lol.  Pick me up guys, make me feel better.  Perhaps I'm just hungover after watching such a terribly planned Bears game.  Who Dey!!

I've been a Bengals fan since 1982 so I've seen the good (2 Super Bowls) and the bad "the Lost Decade" and the "Lost last 5 Years".  

I love my Bengals, but as I've gotten older and realized the Bengals don't do anything to improve the team for me as a fan why should I invest so much of my time with them.  

Honestly, i love Burrow, however, facts being facts if he's not the messiah that many think he is then in 2  years let him walk after his rookie contract because if this current coaching staff is still around we'll still be picking in the top 5 of the NFL draft.
