We blew up in the playoffs over and over and Palmer blew up in the NFC championship game. The fact that this is some sort of rivalry when there are fanbases that can argue which of their SB-winning QBs is best is telling.
And the media doesn't like the Bengals because we spent the majority of the past 30 years being crappy and/or boring. When we do stuff they'll change their tune. Asking the media to slobber over a 2-14 team like us is a bit much. If we win, they will praise us. If you would have told anyone in the early 90s that the New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, and Seattle Seahawks would be media darlings in the new millennium they would have laughed at you.
You have to win before the media takes notice. If you want people to slobber over you before you've done anything then the 2019 Browns may be more your speed.
Says a lot that the 2019 Cleveland Browns were slobbered over while the 2015 Bengals should of beat the Steelers in the
Playoffs and were screwed over by the refs and Jeremeh fumbling (while he goes to the Pats and brags about winning a
SB he had no part of). We all know about MB and his cheapness in the past but there is a clear bias against this team and
any Bengals fan that doesn't see it is clearly blind.
Hopefully Joe Burrow brings us some playoff wins and lots of Superbowls and we gain a lot of bandwagon fans and even
the media becomes fans of us because of it. Just don't see it happening, they will hate us regardless.
