Honest ? - why do Bengals fans care what other fan bases think?

[Von Cichlid]

I would hate to have to eat crow, but as long as our guys actually feel that confident and back it up, I don't have a problem. If karma actually existed on this side of heaven, then that 2005 Steelers run never would have happened.

That was the most obnoxious team in recent memory, and what happened after they celebrated in our locker room after taking out Palmer? They pounded three more solid teams enroute to a 5th championship.
