Keep in perspective . Imagine the agony Squeeler fans go through when NE knocks em off regularly and someday NE AND Pitt will be back in the cellar. Imagine that we went on a tear and won multiple championships then suddenly right back in the cellar for another 30 years . Those championships (Remember the Big Red Machine) seem like mere distant memories from someone elses memory.. Once you reach the top the downward spiral is so much more painful than already sucking and never being there in the first place .. At least that's how I view it.. Witnessing the Reds fall from grace was more painful to me than the Bengals never having ever making it to the top..
