A few thoughts after the Super Bowl

Believe me, I want to, but fk. Literally every team says that when they lose in the playoffs or SB -- and how many actually make it back? Especially the following year? It's rare. 

And after every SB, literally, every team that wins, feeling on top of the world, always says: "We're going back next year! We gon' repeat!" But then how many of them actually do? Patriots were the last ones. That was almost 20 years ago. 

Point is, as much as I want to believe, as much as I want to hope beyond hope that the Bengals make it back next year......the odds are incredibly slim. Like microscopic. I would love to be proven wrong and have you guys rub this in my face, but I honestly don't have much faith. I think at most we'll make the divisional round. And likely not far beyond that. 

(Again, I hope I'm wrong, but history can't be ignored)
