In all fairness, my main memory of it was when I was a lone Bengals fan in PA and it was 2009 or so and we were a few games in and looking good and I was trying to talk football and my Steeler fan pals were very "Meh, I don't really care until the playoffs start" and I was pretty annoyed I was hanging on every regular season game hoping I wasn't insane to think the Bengals could make the playoffs for the second time in decades while they already "knew" they'd be in the playoffs and then had the luxury to maybe care a little bit.
On the plus side, they didn't make the playoffs that year so I guess they never got a chance to care. Poor bums. Can't blame them though, if/when we win the SB I'm going to assume we make the playoffs the next year. I mean duh.
