I think I know what might be really hindering this franchise. ( I might be wrong)

But fans are also the ones who have control over how they respond to that displeasure. So the causation is not the issue since we already know the why. Once that is in place, the only thing that matters is how you respond since that is the only thing you can control. If you run somebody off the road in a fit of road rage, we know why you where pissed. What mattered (and what you could have controlled) was your negative response to the situation. 

I understand that. Which is why I say it's completely normal to know why people are negative all the time with this franchise. You explained it here exactly in that manner. The Bengals ran us off the road, it's completely understandable to be angry at that situation. Peoples choice of expressing themselves is not something we should be paying attention to as the problem is all I'm saying. If you're roof is leaking, I'm not blaming or questioning my gutters for why they're not working properly. I simply fix the roof if that's the problem I'm trying to solve.
