I yell at AJ Green too when he makes a drop. I ain't paying my hard earned dollars for Dalton to have a family of 5 with a beautiful wife and not practice 365 days a year. I want him to win, he's paid millions, sacrifice. It's readily apparent he cannot win here for one or many reasons, yet we still field him. I hate on my "favorite" team more than the opponent's team. There are many of "us" out there.
John Ross can make 1 great play out of 10, you will cheer him. I will cheer him and also boo him for the 9 dropped passes.
The sick joke is you can leave this board, but you can't leave being a fan. I've questioned this a few times and people say I'm not a true fan if I've reached a point I don't want to watch this junk anymore.
It's many a fan's attitude to be like popavich, you're not happy until you're holding the championship. Not everyone views sports the same, some people it's their lifeblood, others relate to it, others have nothing better to do but something to watch.
I had a thread a long time ago asking "how did you become a Bengals fan", and basically get in this jailcell we're in now? For many it may be you were born or live in Cincy, but many of us have never even visited Cincy. For me, it's because the Bengals tiger is the animal from my parents' country, Bangladesh. And that is the only resaon I am a fan, and subject myself to this team's disappointment for 30-35 years.
Yo have to be honest, these are some of the worst Bengals performances of all time. Zero first downs in a half, challenging lowest time of possessions for a game (all time), multiple times already this season (record is somewhere around 15 minutes). These are not games we will forget soon, lol.
It's the same way Lebron yelled at JR Smith when he brought the ball out instead of trying to go for the layup with a couple seconds left after that missed free throw. Boneheaded play, as a Cavs fan, we also yelled at him. It's very easy to get frustrated at how our entire team plays and very difficult to hold pom poms, there is little to cheer for. 0-6.
There Are two type of fans. Realistic fans that knew the Bengals did do enough to improve at all and fans that think The Bengals offense will be built around Sample.
