How the mighty have fallen...

(09-28-2019, 09:48 PM)Shake n Blake Wrote: Thinking back on the 2015 series between the Bengals and Steelers, it's amazing how far both teams have fallen in just 4 years. Also, many of the key figures from the rivalry that year are in much different places.

Bengals since then: 19-31-1 (.382)

Marvin Lewis: gone
Hue Jackson: yikes
Burfict: gone
Nelson: gone
Jeremy Hill: fell off the face of the Earth
AJ Green: has missed 16 games and counting
Eifert: not the same player after a slew of injuries
Marvin Jones: gone
Mo Sanu: gone
Mike Nugent: fell apart the following season

Steelers since: 33-17-1 (.657)

Mike Tomlin: probably gone soon?
Todd Haley: left to team up with Hue Jackson in Cleveland. Sick
Mike Munchak: gone
Ben: hurt and possibly retiring based on age, injury, status of team
Antonio Brown: yikes
Martavis Bryant: suspended for entire 2016 season, disappeared shortly after
Markus Wheaton: disappeared after 2015
LeVeon Bell: gone
Ryan Shazier: the dirty play he was known for ruined his career
Mike Mitchell: gone
Heath Miller: retired after that season, at 33 years old

--------------

It almost seems like both teams have been smacked by karma since then. Sure, the Steelers took a bit longer to fall off, but when they did, it became a pretty epic mess with Ben/Antonio/LeVeon etc.


Also gone:

Entire Bengals O line not named Andre Smith
AJ McCarron
Leon Hall
Pacman
Peko
Mauauluga
A good chunk of the Cincinnati fan base
Jerry Porter
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
