No one to blame but ourselves.

Who's to say the light doesn't come on for Ogbuehi after a full offseason of lifting, OTAs, minicamps and a full preseason? Who's to say Fisher doesn't accelerate his growth in year 2? Point is, you don't know how it will play out. You simply assume it has to be worse. How many times have the fans wanted players gone, and a season or two later those players are thriving? Fans havezero patience and always think they know better than the coaches who are around the players every day and see their development.

The two best on that crappy line, the two who DIDN'T give up a bunch of sacks are gone.  So now, you're crappy minus two. 

For a franchise with such an overwhelming fear of the unknown, that is a shitload of it.  You could almost make the case they're trying to doom their lame duck coach to fail.

As to Bengal fans being impatient, come on.  When you're a Bengal fan, you learn to recognize things before they happen because they've so often happened in the past.
