The OTR area is awesome with all kinds of restaurants, bars, breweries, etc. Downtown area has some awesome restaurants as well, and The Banks area between the two stadiums is a good time.  My brother used to live in the apartments at The Banks and several Reds and Bengals players lived there. The casino is downtown also. There is plenty to do in the city, and it has been ranked a top travel destination in the US by many different publications, plus it's extremely affordable. 

It's been a year since Covid and yeah it might be building up some but still just doesn't scream "COME HERE!  IT'S LOADS OF FUN!" IMCO.

The Banks is building up and the bars and restaurants downtown and in OTR have always been a good time but nothing that made a person want to come to Cincinnati.

and followed it up with record breaking yardage stats before he went down with injury and did it behind a sieve of an OL.

My hope is the coaches, namely Zac and Lou improve big time. They can, it is not impossible. Zac is young and Lou is only 
in his 3rd year as a DC and has had tons of injuries on his side of the ball. Have to start winning games though and most
notably the close ones as we just lose them under Zac. We start winning the close ones and things will start to look up.

Losing close games is a sign of bad coaching.

The Chiefs won all their close games last year pretty much while we lost them all.

Yeah, knowing our luck, I'm nervous about the coaches improving just because I became so conditioned by Marvin refusing to evolve with the new game or adapt to his teams' abilities.  I'm hoping that Zac and Lou grow as coaches and coach to the team's strengths but, like I said, I'm so conditioned from Marvin and Mike that I don't have high hopes.
