Being in different conferences is a big help, they only see each other (excluding pre-season) every four years. In those game I root for the Bengals unless they are roadkill and a win would help the Lions. But, even then, if it's in person (like last Christmas Eve at PBS), I still end up rooting for the Bengals.
There are a lot of similarities between the teams, actually:
So, yeah, it's possible.
- Both teams are named after big cats
- They're in adjacent states with both near I-75
- No playoff wins for either team since the early '90s
- Neither has won a Super Bowl
- Both have long-suffering fan bases who deserve so much better
- Both teams run by inept, clueless, sperm-lucky decedents
Thank you A.L.!
Although I did leave a team (Browns) in 1968, who had 4 championships, to come to an expansion team. Yes 50 years later I'm glad I am now a Bengals fan, but still sitting in the same position I was in, in 1968 .... gave up 4 championship titles still waiting for one.
