I can't think of ANY fan that doesn't WANT the team to win and hopes for it every week.....but I can think of several (including myself) that don't BELIEVE they will depending on the opponent we are playing that week. Now before you go accusing us of NOT being fans.....think about. Do you have them going 16-0 this year.....and every year?? If not.....then you don't Believe they are going to win EVERY week either. It's just being realistic.
As far as Andy Dalton is concerned.....I believe you can be a Bengals fan and not be thrilled about the QB...or any other player for that matter. After all.....the fans don't chose the players.....and we have weathered some DOOZIES. What exactly is the alternative? Jumping ship and becoming a fan of some other team??
Yep. I don't believe in Dalton. I root for him though cuz he's in stripes.
Being a Bengals fan is like being in love with a narcissist. It's a brutal, emotionally abusive relationship but I never leave and just keep making excuses for them.
