The Bengals were finally going to be a solid team for years with a FO finally coming around to the modern day NFL.
After 31 years of misery we got a SB and almost a second. And then.................thud. Lucy pulled the football away.........AGAIN!
Bad drafting, bad FA, no trades to help make it to the playoffs like other teams are doing; just the same ol' FO bungaling that has always been.
I am not falling for it anymore. The FO is an absolute disgrace. Completely wasting Burrow, Chase and Higgins is unforgivable. They will never change. Katie and fam will be as bad or worse than the old man. After all, who do you think taught her everything she knows.
Nope, I am not falling for anymore false hope and fake social media hype. The FO did nothing to fix the problems this year to give us a chance at the playoffs. Nothing has changed. Nothing is going to change. the FO is so inept they have like 4 scouts and no real GM. Is there another NFL team that has almost no scouts and no real GM? Of course not. The rest of the NFL hates Mike Brown. He is always voting against them, going against them.
Next year will be no different. They will try to get you hyped up, excited, believing that "this" year will be different. It won't be. The FO has no clue nor do they care, as long as the suckers......errr.....fans keep buying merch, season tickets and luxury suites. We will continue to watch teams like the Ravens, Steelers, Chiefs, etc excel and we will have this board to post false hope, sadness and disappointment which is inevitable with this FO.
I am done getting my hopes up, getting tricked and having the football pulled away by Lucy. I am numb, disappointed, disgusted. It is hopeless with this FO. They are not changing. They will never change. They have Burrow, Chase, Higgins and they still won't change. They will not trick me ever again.
Sorry if this is horribly negative. It's the last thing I want to feel about this team with Burrow, Chase and Higgins, but I am done getting tricked by this horrible, shameful FO. It's only a matter of time until those players are also sick of it and the cycle will eventually repeat.
Don't know what to tell you... I mean, there are other teams to cheer for or there's women's tennis. This front office and current group of players has had more success than just about any other team the Bengals have ever fielded. Five years, 2 AFCN titles, and AFC Championship, 2 AFCCGs and a Super Bowl. Probably would have had more playoff wins last year had Burrow not gotten hurt instead of just missing the playoffs while finishing the season with a backup Quarterback. To me, this is just a snapshot of today's "I want everything and I want it now" mentality. The last few years have absolutely spoiled the Bengals fanbase that just 6 years ago was simply begging for a playoff win before they die. And now people are cutting out on them. Teams will have up and down years. This one is not going the way we'd all like, but they are still fighting for a spot. Just about any other team in the league not named the Chiefs would trade our last 5 years for theirs in a heartbeat. Get a grip.
