I'll watch every game I can and I'll still cheer like mad when they score or win...I just know what to expect in the end based on a mountain of evidence. Mike/Marv/Alexander and co are among the most tenured in their positions in the NFL.

I know the Patriots are a likely SB candidate. I know the Browns are going to suck. I know the Bengals' ceiling is likely as a swift first round playoff exit. I'm past "hope" with this crew. There's just too many years and too much evidence to fool myself.

I respect that others may feel differently, and I used to get that preseason optimism myself. This is just where I'm at with this group in 2017.

Both you and rfaulk did a much better job of saying what I meant to say and did a bad job at it. 

Part of the reason, most of it more likely, is that I really don't know how to feel about this team ? On the one hand I want to believe, but on the other I know what's coming down the stretch.

The cruel life of being a Mike Brown/Marvin Lewis lead Bengals Fan.
