The 2 losses to the Texans, the Chargers, the Colts, and the Steelers. We played like crap in all of those games. I sort of hope they never hype us up again. 

I think we get a little too into painting ourselves as the victim of the nasty media.  When Burrow is good he's going to be in commercials and the media is going to be all over him and the bandwagon is going to fill up.  Ideally, Burrow is going to be so good that we are going to become like the 1990s Chicago Bulls and we are going to become that annoying franchise every idiot clamps onto.

That's the nature of the sporting world.  I've been a Bengals fan since 1987, but if the Bengals TRULY make it people are going to see me (in PA) in a Bengals hat and say "Bengals fan?  Yeah right...name one guy who was on the team before Burrow got there."
