I was about 2 months old for the first one, and Terry Bradshaw hadn't been run out of Pittsburgh yet and my ol man hadn't yet been soured by the idiot Steeler fans, so we were still a pro-Steelers family...oddly enough. In 88 I was 7 and was convinced the team I decided to like because they had a left-handed QB, a RB who danced, and a HC who would get in altercations with Chuck Noll would be awesome forever...so the reality didn't set it until the 90s.
I'd say this one is the worst, because it took 33 years to get here but I can also picture this team being back in it next year (and that ain't just wishful thinking, right?). To me the more interesting thing is how the passage of time reflects on things. I'm older now than my ol man was when the Bengals lost in 88. The time between the 88 SB and today is the same as the time between the Eisenhower era and the 88 SB. Stuff like that....
Anyways, I ain't hurt, I'm just ready to see how this team handles things now that they aren't expected to be losers.
