I'm officially done with the GD thread

[jj22]

If you can't take the gameday thread don't stop in. A Bengals game is emotional for most fans. The ups and downs in real time are real feelings. That's what makes the GD thread great. I don't get the issue people have with it. Outside of taking shots at those because we are in the middle of a great season. It's going to take more than 1 great season to get people to stop having flashbacks and panicking. That should be expected given the history and trauma we have experienced. Some overly optimistic posters want to act like there is no trauma and 1 great season should erase all those feelings. I think it's lame honestly to not acknowledge that as you bask in the one season optimism was justified to slam those who may be slow to let our guard down.

After 3 winning seasons and playoff victories if people still have those fears of letdowns then maybe stepping up on a high horse is justified. But until then, the panic and fear of a letdown shouldn't be slammed.

You were right in your optimism Philhos, but handle being right with a little more class and understanding as to why many were much more guarded.
