From the perspective of an old geezer: Free Agency changed everything. The 1981 and 1988 Bengals were great before free agency - post 1988 Bengals, not so much. Most everything about the NFL is now better for the players; for the fans, not so much. From an old fan's perspective - pre 1988, you were a Bengal for life. Post 1988 - if the player stuck around for a few years, that was/is about the best you can expect. The NFL is all business now. Might as well be the Procter & Gamble Bengals..or the Hamilton County Bengals in honor of the taxpayers.
