WTS, if the line does their job (big if), we friggin smoke the division, the conference and the playoffs. That if Marvin keeps it together (another big if)?
I used to feel this way, HDog. Now, with so many "fringe fans" of sports, I just want to have the city rally behind this team and enjoy the ride all the way to a Super Bowl win. I would love to see so many people that gave up on the Bengals when Carson quit, or say "Not until Mike Brown steps down" or some other crap just watch this team and have a blast cheering them all the way.
I think of bandwagoners as the person that roots for the Patriots, Golden State, Penguins, and Cubs....they are always buying a hat of whatever team just won the title. Like, that somehow improves their status...
There are only a select few of us, though, that know once that big win happens that we will enjoy a feeling like no other. Much like the 50 year Cubs fans that finally got their title last year. Stories of people listening to the game at their father's grave, and pouring some scotch down to him in celebration. That will be us. This is our year.
