Stop trying to justify the negativity. You don't have to enjoy the losing, but you don't have to contribute to the negativity of it either.

Well, judging by the stadium attendance I'd say plenty of fans are choosing to not be part of the equation.  But that can be spun as being negative because they aren't going to games, supporting the team, and what not.

But this is all based around the idea that fans being positive about the Bengals would convince Mike Brown to change his MO, which is even less likely that Mike Brown changing his MO because fans are being negative and not showing up.
