Sure I'd like changes but this team represents my home town and I've followed them from the beginning even as a kid getting players to let us into the Wilmington dorms between summer camp practices. It's not about being "convinced" by M Brown for some of us.
It's a team that hasn't won a playoff game in 26+ years. The longest streak in sports...while other teams have generally won 5+ playoff games over that span. Some have won upwards of 20.
This isn't a case of fans being impatient and waiting for our turn. The league is setup for parity.
Largely the same management team has been in place for that 26+ years. Marvin is 0-7 in the playoffs and retains his job. Paul Alexander is still here despite poor line play.
This thread has nothing to do with switching teams. This thread is about how the play of the Bengals has tainted fans to accept dysfunction as the norm.
