I can relate to this, as well. Normally I'm pretty fired up about pre-season drama and off-season stuff and new QB locations and competitions and stuff going on around the Bengals. Right now the rest of the NFL is pretty meh because I expect the Bengals to win every damn game and I'm going to be flat out annoyed if they don't.
Oddly enough, this is basically the mindset I've spent decades finding loathsome in bratty entitled Steelers fans...that whole "I'm not going to worry until the playoffs" mindset. Jinx this and that, but as long as Burrow is alive I sort of have that gleefully self-hating "I'm just wondering who we're going to play in the AFC Championship game" mentality now. Interesting.
If you have told me last year that Burrow was going to be so good that I'd go into 2022 having a hard time picture Zac Taylor ever getting fired I'd have said "I hope you're right, but that sounds pretty insane."
