There's no right or wrong way to be a fan. I love the Bengals through and through and I've been a fan and supported them my entire life. I'll always be a Bengals fan. I also cling to hope. Though free agency is certainly trying right now, I'm still hopeful that our young players will find their footing and grow this year. I'm hopeful every Steelers week that we'll beat the ever loving shit out of them. I'm hopeful that every playoff game will finally be the one that we break the streak.
Yeah, I'm critical right now. I feel I have every right to be. Our owner/GM keeps screwing us over. I understand we probably weren't going to be able to keep everyone. I feel we should've tried harder to keep Marvin Jones. I agree with letting Sanu go, especially for the price tag he got. I was even okay with letting Nelson go because I agree it's better to let them go too early than too late. Some of our decisions I can see and even understand, some are just stupid on our front offices part.
Regardless, once the season starts, I'll watch every game like every season before. I'll root and cheer and hope for another trip to the postseason. I'll be happy with every win and disappointed with every loss. I love the Bengals unconditionally. Even with the critical things I've been posting, I'm fine. They don't affect my day to day life. It's a sport. It's supposed to be fun. Sometimes the Bengals are not fun though.
So while I may continue to make some snarky or downright rude comments about the team, that doesn't mean I'm not a fan, a good fan, or that I don't love the team. Just because I get upset with them from time to time doesn't mean I support them any less.
