Yeah, I understand. It sucks but I do get it. I'm 28 years old, born in 1987, and I would say that I have been a Bengals fan since I was 7 years old (20+ years), however, I have grown up in a small town full of Steelers fans in NE Pennsylvania so when it comes to disrespect, its never ending for me. I guess I just get a little sensitive on the matter when I have to read it over and over, year after year, in the media.
With that being said, we do need to prove ourselves this year. We have had a damn good run as of late reaching the playoffs, but if we miss the playoffs this year or (In my opinion) even worse, go "one-and-done" again, we will grant ourselves another 20 years of disrespect.
