That stretch has always blown my mind. Although any time we're looking to the 1947-1998 Cardinals for comfort, we're not in a good spot.

To the OP: Mike Brown's reputation around Cincy is terrible, and he does nothing to improve it. He's a walking PR nightmare. The excitement of finding (what we thought) was an elite QB in Palmer and making the playoffs for the first time in 14 years was enough to get the city hyped...momentarily.
7 playoff embarrassments took a toll on that, and now people are kinda seeing Mike's Bengals for what they are again.
I'd say most people are kind of in a "prove it" state of mind. Until they do, apathy will be the prevailing feeling towards the Bengals in Cincy. I'm there myself.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
