What this post-season has meant to me

2015’s playoff loss was the end for me. For a long time, at least.

I’m not sure how many posts that I had on the old boards in the 6-7 years that I was a member (probably ten thousand plus), and 2/3 of my posts here were in the 8 months between the board’s inception, and the 2015 playoff debacle. A week after the loss, I quit posting here regularly, and didn’t really pick it back up until early this season. The only reason that I came around was for the members (tee-hee), and I ended up living in the P&R section mostly (I try to stay away from there now).

Burfict and Pacman ruined my love for football, and I’m glad that they never got to experience a playoff victory. I’m really glad that the Bengals rebuilt their team, both roster and culture, and reinvigorated my love for them.
