I'm an impatient person when there is something i want or something that's on the way to me. I've been a Bengals fan since 1978, so i've been through the gamut of emotions with this team. Even with all my whinings squealings, through the end of the Dalton and Marv era, through the early Zac era, i still get the feeling (mostly lately) that things could turn around--given a little...wait for it--patience. 

There it is, the word no one wants to hear or utter. 

What i'm saying it just this; take a minute to look over what the team has done since the beginning of last year and throw out the results for now, while trying hard to do it objectively. You may need to grab a cup of coffee and sit back for a minute. Maybe just clear your head and convince yourself you can do this...whatever it takes. 

The early returns of the Zac era aren't promising, when you look at he bottom line results but i think there are some things to look at and think, maybe, just maybe, the Bengals could be heading in the right direction, with some recent mis-steps along the way (dealing with players). 

I don't know. Just sit back for a minute, let your negative emotions and the losing record go for just a bit and let me know how you feel about where this thing is going. 

Seriously. I don't need to see snap reactions to this about how they suck, it's going nowhere, etc etc. 

Take a few minutes and get back to me. 

We are a very young team with young coaches and had no Preseason. I expected us to start out slow and get better as the season
went on. This is what we are seeing and besides the Ravens game we have been competitive. Thought Taylor's play calling was 
much better in this last game, I like seeing us trade Dunlap and bringing in a couple decent Guards.

Didn't expect Burrow and the Offense being this good with this O-line honestly.

The Defense has really been hit at DT and Geno just doesn't look the same. The young LB's namely Wilson are coming around, 
Bynes I think might need to go back to being a back up. The secondary has got hit with injuries, no WJ3 last game, I thought we
were going to get torched by the Stains. Wasn't as bad as I thought honestly. Those last few catches that won the game for the
Stains were just hell of good catches. I can handle losing this way.

No doom and gloom here, I thought it would be this way. Think we could of had 3-4 wins already. Just have to win the close 
games under Taylor sooner or later for me to gain some confidence in the guy.
