I'd be floored if we didn't win our 1st game and break the drought this year.  With that being said, I also feel like if we lose people won't panic because this is like the year 2005 and 2011 where we are very able to play the "Wait til' next year" card.  

Let me see if I can sum up how I think we handled each playoff loss

2005 - this was our year, what a fluke, what a dirty play, but on the plus side we are legit and will be around for years to come!
2009 - we waited 4 years for that?  This team is probably done.
2011 - we were supposed to go 0-16 so this sucks but we'll be good for years to come!
2012 - ok, well we will get them next year
2013 - ok, we should have won this one
2014 - we didn't have much of a chance to win this one, anyways
2015 - being a Bengals fan is hell on earth


So, I feel like this very moment is like a re-do of 2005 where things can and should go the way we thought they would go in that season and for years to come.
