I remember seasons when all I wanted was at least 2 wins so it wouldn't be so embarrassing dodging that no win season. Now people are complaining because we might not make the Super Bowl every year. I'd say there's plenty to be positive about.
I'm the same way and since Day 1. During the bad seasons, I just look forward to the draft picks. I have had many a sleepless nights after the Bengals snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, such as the Montana did to us a couple of times (once in the regular season where with six seconds left and the Bengals up by 6, they decided to run around to kill the clock instead of punting and turned the ball over with 2 seconds left; enough time for a Montana to Rice TD.)
Yeah, it's been painful many times, but that's just a reminder that I'm still alive and still get pumped up about the Bengals and their games. When I lose that interest, it will be time to worry.
