It is very disheartening. We're stuck with the worst owner and GM in professional sports. Profit is his sole desire and winning comes a very distant second at best.
We preach building through the draft like the teams that win, but completely ignore the fact that those teams also supplement through free agency. Teams like Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and New England constantly have less cap space than us but have no problem signing free agents they think can help them win or keeping their own big talent. Somehow, they can have less than half of our cap but spend it to improve the team while we have out sucktastic mouthpiece cut our cap in half before free agency even starts.
Also, we want to build through the draft but employ the smallest scouting department in the league. The teams we supposedly try to be like have scouting departments at least 5 times our size. They actually send scouts out to evaluate talent while we rely on tape and the same scouting reports that reporters get.
We then like to hang on to coaches long after their time. With our league leading postseason win drought, we've made sure to keep the same OLine coach for the entire thing because he's a personal family friend. Even though we've had a coach who proclaims the need to run the ball, our illustrious OLine coach leads our linemen to being one of the worst run blocking lines int he league. Now, with a line made up of most of his own personal picks, we're the worst OLine in running AND passing. That was enough to get the OC fired, but there has not even been the slightest hint of a chance for the OLine coach to be out on his ass.
What's even more pathetic is I haven't even began to scratch the surface on the bullshit that is Mike Brown. Even knowing that each year will find another way to torture me and break my heart, I continue to be a fan of this team. Mainly because of hope. While it will never happen, I have to hope the NFL will do like the NBA did with the Clippers owner and force Brown out. The end of The Brown Family Dynasty is the only hope any of us Bengals fans have of being fans of a team ran as it should be.
