I just hope if the boys don't pull this one out (I expect they will) fans don't immediately turn on them again and start calling players trash and demanding coaches that got us this far be fired. But I suspect that is exactly what will happen. Instead, people should say "what a season" and enjoy watching FA and the draft make this team even better than it is now.
Depending on how they lost, I'm sure there would be some. But the reality is they've far exceeded expectations at this point, even amongst the most optimistic of fans. I will not be calling for any major changes to the team beyond the O-line and building more depth to make this a perennial deep run team.
A win would be the most amazing thing and this is the easiest post-season run the team will have (in terms of expectations, there's a lot less weight on their shoulders compared to what they'll feel next year), but I won't be mad or sad if they lose tomorrow. There's a pride in being a Bengals fan now that I haven't really felt in many years. Absolutely loving this ride.
