Jaded Bengal fans is all. Cannot think positive even after all that has happened in just this year. Going to the Superbowl, nearly
winning it, starting out 0-2, getting back to .500, being 5-4 at the bye week same record as last season etc.

Still, no faith in good things happening. Chase will be back, just cannot push it. But as Nicomo said he was playing with this 
injury for a game and a half and was dominant while doing so. With some rest and getting back to 100% he should be dominant 
once again when he is full go.

I have a hard time being optimistic with a team having multiple terrible seasons and they having their first good season in a while.
Naturally, I feel that last year was somewhat of a fluke (deep postseason run) and the team is more of a middle-of-the-pack team, especially after seeing some duds against bad teams this year (PIT, CLE).
It wasn't until after 2-3 seasons of the Andy Dalton era where they made the playoffs in a row did I think they might consistently be a good team.
If this Bengals team can get back to the playoffs and especially get a win in the playoffs again, I might finally become optimistic about them.

EDIT - This skepticism probably came from the mid-2000's Bengals when they would constantly underperform after winning the division in 2005 and being considered one of the best teams in the league, only to continuously miss the playoffs for various reasons the next 3 seasons.
