I would've much rather had the 49ers as well. It's about losing 2 Super Bowls against them, it's about having to watch Billups drop that INT, John Taylor, Montana, etc. and it's about what happened to the Bengals in the aftermath during the 90's. It's about righting everything that's been wrong since 1988.
I found myself cheering for the niners for the first time ever. I would've loved them to play the old SB highlights over and over saying we can't win only to have Burrow and Co. smash that old narrative forever.
It was not meant to be and that's okay. This team is destined to become champions no matter what the pundits say.
