Didn't expect the playoffs this season. Didn't even humor the idea of a Super Bowl appearance. So I'm trying to take this season as an extremely pleasant and welcome surprise. It's just, once you get to the big show you've gotta seize the opportunity while you have it. I feel like this loss is going to hurt A LOT worse years from now if the Burrow-led Bengals never make it back.
For now? This was a team expected to finish with four or less wins, last place in the division, and instead they were a bad call away from winning the Super Bowl.
I think we should read Gramps post closely. Yeah, I wish we won that bowl, 1 ring matters so much towards the emotional investment every year (it doesn't hurt as bad when we exit the playoffs lol), but this team is fun to watch and gives us hope that we'll be back there and win it someday. Hope is almost everything in life.
