Gals and Reds.

20+ years of futility for both. Both seems to ail from very common issues between owenership and operational entities

Lack of defined and commmited direction

Nepotism rampant in the organizations

Unable to cut obvious losses early and move on

Slow to let the younger talent take over for fear of upsetting the old vet

Slow to react when moveable assets have prime return

Poor drafting and development

Little outside help from Free Agents

Loyalty to coaches who have been miserable.

Committed to aging veterans who cost way more than their benefit

Poor contracts (The Bengals have been able to control contacts much better than the Reds). Obviously the NFls system helps tremendously

Unable to perform on the big stage. Choke after Choke after Choke.

Clueless owners who run the teams like a fanboys instead of a franchise trying to win.  

Two teams. Separated by a half mile. Both running two of the least successful Franchises in sports. Seemingly afflicted with very similar operational and decision handicaps.

I think it comes down to the fans of Cincy and the owners. The fans tolerate and applaud mediocrity and we genuinely think every next year will be different.

It’ll soon be 30 years + for both franchises without playoff success. The bengals will move. The reds should probably follow if hey can’t figure it out

Surprised it took so long for the ban hammer to drop on the troll
