I was a fan when we went to our two Super Bowls and like many other fans, have been waiting to get back there. This making it to the playoffs and laying an egg doesn't cut it for me. Sure, I think we are having a great season and think we can go all the way, but I still see areas we can improve and would like to see that.
My main thing is I hate someone telling me how to be a fan. Not saying you are, just there do seem to be some around here that like to do that.
I will never tell someone how to be a fan, nor will I tell someone how to spend their money(tickets, etc.) but I heard Mo Egger say earlier in the season how he felt throughout the Reds magical season of 1990. He didn't worry about them getting beat in the playoffs. He didn't care about their youth, or lack of recent success...he just enjoyed the ride.
I did as well. It was one of the most memorable seasons of any sport in my life. It was my junior year in college and it was an incredible ride.
My dream is the Bengals finish the season how they started it, and like the 1990 Reds, shock the world.
