The Bengals are our team folks for better or worse. We can complain from now till we all die of old age and hand the same legacy of complaints on to our kids and even grandkids and many have done just exactly that and see what it's gotten anyone. The simple truth about these teams is regardless of where they end up in the standings they win. Even the Browns with their perennial 1-15 records can still pay out millions in salaries every single season and never lose.
Kevin Zietler left a winning franchise to play for Cleveland NOT because of their winning track record, but because they're also winners who can pay him millions of dollars.
Its the old switcheroo trick as old as Roman times when Ceasar gave the people blood sport in exchange for letting him rule over them. So we get modern day blood sports in exchange for letting the ruling class rule over us and the Mike Browns of the world run profitable teams despite never really winning the whole shebang.
Hey, if you really want to complain let's all get together and kill off all the ruling class and run things another way, but beware that we had better win that fight because the ruling class would have us killed in a heartbeat than give up on their ruling status. And even then there would be just a different group of ruling elite yet to be annointed.
/end rant on how things REALLY work
