I can't think of a time that I have been more so since the pre Carson Palmer days. I still enjoy watching the sport, but have become numb to Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis. I'm not watching the majority of games and am extremely less active on here than I used to be.
I know the standard thought process is that I will get excited once the draft comes around, but something feels different about this year. I also know this is going to elicit many of the "you're not a real fan", "go root for Cleveland" responses that are typical on this board. I'm just curious how many others are feeling this way or something similar? Maybe my time as a Bengals fan is winding down...
Yeah, the "new" of the Marvball era has definitely worn off. They're still my team, and I won't pick up another one unless they fold.....cause I'm no bandwagon frontrunner.....but I haven't watched as much, and even fell asleep during part of the 4th quarter Sunday.
I'll still be active here, as I don't really have anyone around me to discuss Bengals football in such detail, but I'll watch them if there's nothing else to do, or catch them on the radio....and if I miss the game, I miss it. No big deal. Some of it's the team, but there's also kids now that are getting more and more active....I don't even watch as many FSU games as I used to. I NEVER missed a Noles game or a Bengals game. I've missed several Bengals games, and a couple of day Seminoles games this year. I guess it's a combination of things for me.
One thing I won't do, is buy anymore tickets or merch until some changes are made.
