Honest ? - why do Bengals fans care what other fan bases think?

[puddycat]

I don't like trash-talking other teams or players unless they are asking for it. I got no problem with having confidence especially when you can back it up. The Bengals built this team mostly from scratch along with many smart free-agent signings, they have earned their place.
Asking for it examples: dancing on the opponents 50 yard line logo, celebrating a cheap hit, taunting, talking big only after the game.
