The haters were wrong for years when we went to the playoffs from '11 to '15. They were forced to change their tune from "worst in the league" to "Can't win a championship" but most of those years these guys still predicted we would not even make it back to the playoffs. Theses are the guys who claimed the Bengals would never use a first round pick on a TE, OG or OC. These are the guys who claimed the Bengals would never sign any big dollar free agents.
I think the big problem here is the extremists. There are a very few who just constantly have nothing but negative takes. They often make up shit out of thin air to come up with claims that start with "You know the players think. . ." or "You can tell by the look on his face. . . " or "The Bengals will never. . . ". Or they work really hard to twist stats to make the team look as bad as possible.
There are really only a small handful of these extreme negative type posters. And when it comes to overy optimistic posters I can only think of a couple. Mostly, right now we are all talking about what is wrong with the team. It is clear we have some problems. Just most of us don't see it as a complete lost cause.
