I know a lot of the "positive" posters around here don't believe the grumbling would stop, but I think a championship would have a massive impact on this fan base and the Cincinnati area. Cincy wants to love the Bengals. I didn't even like football in 1988 (I was 7 years old), but I do remember how electric the city was. Super Bowl shirts being sold all around the area, "welcome to the jungle" being blasted everywhere. It was a great feeling.
We wouldn't recognize the fanbase after a championship. I think the change in attitude would be significant.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
