I spend a lot of time around here saying I don't care what the media says about our team and telling others not to let it bother them.

Did a lot of that during the ML years.

Truth is I read this stuff too and it gets under my skin sometimes.  I was pissed when I saw Burrow ranked under a butch of guys that never took an NFL snap at the beginning of the season.

Someone on here argued Burrows stats from last year weren't that good and we were over rating him.  

Anyone that watched him play last year knew he was special.  Maybe the numbers weren't there but the effort and the heart were.  Anyone that watched knew the numbers would come and greatness was going happen.  

Looks like the media finally figured out.  And they're surprised.  They shouldn't be.  Anyone that watched him already knew.

I think it's just lazy journalism and an easy take for media members. We know the drill: no playoff win in 30 years, the Bungles, etc., etc. It's just an easy take to knock the Bengals. I think it's lame, but I agree we don't need to worry about it.
