It will take some dominating of epic proportions, on both sides of the ball, for me to allow myself to go all in again.
That's how I felt in 2005, and how I felt when I saw Carson rolling on the turf in agony. That was the one and only year I felt extremely confident the team was a contender. I've been kicked square in the nuts by this team several times since then. I couldn't bring myself to fully trust them even in 2015, and thank god I didn't. I half expected us to piss away that Pitt playoff game even after Burfict picked that pass off. I think I actually laughed it all off before during and after this final moments. It was the ultimate "OF F***ING COURSE!" moment in Bengal history.
But anyway, I'm with ya. Domination of epic proportions to to truly trust this team again.
