Saying that future free agents would be excited to come here once we win a playoff game or two (in a thread that's likely about the future) is not taking it for granted. There's nothing wrong with optimism in posts or having faith in your team. Do you think the players and coaches want people showing up to games that aren't confident we're going to win?

I've been at every playoff game since the '05 season and you honestly think that, with the heartbreak of the Carson injury and then the Hill fumble, that I, or any other true fan, is taking this for granted?

We're loving the current moment. Cincinnati is going to be packed pre-game, so much so that we're not even going to The Banks, and tailgating will be crazy (already invited to multiple parties), but you think fans are taking it for granted?

Fred, we've been waiting THIRTY YEARS FOR THIS, and every coach and player knows it, so trust me when I tell you that no one is taking it for granted.

Not to derail y'all's argument.....but....John Thornton was on WLW last night talking about the very topic I bolded. As a former player, and current agent, he was basically echoing what you are saying there. He thinks one thing you'll see more of is guys coming in for a one year deal to plug holes in the roster. Guys looking to come back off injury, or cap casualties. When you're losing, you don't have much of that.
