Drafted Starters

I do so love it when one fan feels the need to tell another fan to leave or how they should feel though.  Also, unless you're a member of the team or front office, there is no "we"...

1.  As a fan from cincinnati who's tax dollars support the team I can say " we " whenever I please.  Stop trying to nitpick to find ground to stand on.

2.  You didn't say Suh, but this again is an example not a quote.  People cry when we don't make free agency splashes, but then credit the team for having homegrown talent.  You want to latch on to Revis as the example, well what about the seahawks ?  a team of homegrown talent that destroyed the Broncos the year before?  This is an example of one fan seeing another fan saying something and it catching on like wildfire.  Last year we didn't lose the playoff game because we didn't have key free agents... we lost because our roster was destroyed by injury.

3.  I am not telling you how to feel, but rather giving you some solid advice.  This self loathing atmosphere among Bengals fans is tiresome.  "We" Have a good competitive team in a league where it's pretty uncommon.  Sure it would be nice to have the front office make every perfect decision and live in fantasy land, but for now I will give credit where its due and realize that nothing is perfect.
