I remember being right in the thick of the tourney around St. Patrick's Day.
I assumed the conference tourneys were happening this past weekend, not this upcoming one.

We all have our opinions of what the team should do and how it should be ran.

It's ok for people to get frustrated or apathetic if the team doesn't do something to their liking.

It'd be one thing if the team was turning around and still making the playoffs and getting at least one playoff win each of the past two seasons, but up to this point, we've seen a decline since 2022.

Without seeing these coaches and new players in action yet, it's hard to say with confidence they will be better than the previous 2 years.

They had 3 objectives prior to beginning free agency.

And they failed in all 3 of those objectives.

Expecting even a single positive thing from them is unrealistic at this point.

At least for me.

I wonder if the two events are related.

For Bengals fans it is a day/week of high anxiety so make sure you are ready.  The must haves include

1) bottle of antacids
2) bottle of Tylenol
3) adult beverage of your choice
4) Xanax
5) and of course, that smidgen of hope that will quickly be doused when the FO does something stupid (er) than they already have
