As a fan whose watched three last-second losses in the Super Bowl, losing a close one hurts forever. I still feel the scars of the last two Super Bowl losses. A loss by 9 points or more would hurt a lot less.
The fact is, the Bengals had all the stars aligned, with Beckham being out and with the Bengals being so healthy.
As a 50-year fan, believe me, it is very hard to get back to the big game.
I'll probably do what I did in other years, and not invest myself so much in the team next year. I watched every minute of every game this year. Way too much investment. I'll dial it back next year and try to get something positive from the loss, like actually accomplish something with my time.
