If you are a Bengal fan who doesn't "tolerate failure" then why have you not changed our coach by now?

I have to agree that he's blowing it out of proportion and overestimating exactly what sort of impact fans have on a team's success.  I always thought it was rather self-serving that the fans of good teams (when they are good, mind you) like the Seahawks or Steelers seem to believe the team is good because THEY are a part of it.  Odd...I had no idea I was the reason Akili Smith sucked...my bad.  Also, Steeler fans apparently stopped being good fans during the 80s and so on and so forth.

However, you have to admit that Bengals fans certainly have a lower bar set for success than the fans of many other teams.  It's relative though.  The Browns going 8-8 is like the Bengals winning a playoff game is like the Pats/Steelers etc winning the Super Bowl.
