This team has to be the most let your fans down team in sports.. That Jets game reminded me so much of Brett Favre first game against the Bengals. The  Bengals are always on the wrong side of games people remember. Everytime, and I mean everytime you think they turned the corner, the have this game, like they did with the Jets.. We ha e all seen this before...  I guess its still better than the 90s, but only the Bengals lose that game to the Jets..

Not really. Even the Super Bowl Bengals teams of the '80s lost to teams as bad as the Jets. Not to mention the numerous other NFL teams every year that lose those types of games. 

I've been a fan since '78 and even in the early '90s i was there every week, listening to every snap on the radio while i was working on the house or whatever. I've seen and heard a million of those (Jets-type) losses but i don't automatically go to "worse team in the league" "fraud", etc, when they lose a game they should have won. The reason i don't is perspective. A lot to most of those previous teams showed some promise but they didn't nearly have the all around talent that this team does and none of them had a QB like Burrow.

8 games. Some early growing pains, a close loss to a really good Packers team and then the big, breakthrough win @ Baltimore. 3rd straight game on the road against a really bad team that lost massively the week before and it was the perfect storm for the Bengals to fall on their face. Just like the '81 Bengals team did @ New Orleans and the '88 team did @ New England.
