Why Has Smack Talk Been Neutered

From my perspective, Bengals weren’t competitive by design in ‘19 and ‘20, so it’s not as much fun making fun of a team in a rebuild because they’re supposed to suck during that time. Ravens entered this season with like 15 guys and counting on IR, so strategically it made sense for me to joke about how bad we’d be to get ahead of the inevitable collapse (which happened far later than I assumed it would).

Maybe next season it’ll be more interesting with both teams presumably at full strength
