Part of me is almost hoping the Bengals lose out to ensure a new HC next season. But, there's always that optimistic part of me that thinks we can hang with any team in the league and expects to, at least, make the playoffs.

Because of those two conflicting parts of my mind, it doesn't matter what we do. If we lose, well, good, another nail in Lewis' coffin. If we win, well, good, we might actually make the playoffs and make some noise. It's actually a win-win for me and it's qutie freeing.

Believe me, I've tried, but I just can't get to that place.    I can't stop craving victory and despising defeat.  That way, I can suffer more.  Face it, we're all gluttons for punishment but holding on for that magical day when all the suffering will be rewarded, like suffering somehow counts in our favor.
