It's all about perspective and what watching this team(it is entertainment after all)does or makes you feel.
You don't have to like it... but they do have the right to call them that.
Some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen has been done by this team.
2015 playoff meltdown will forever live in my mind. Ironically Dalton's best season and he wasn't even a part of it!
I spent the whole next day curled up in a fetal position. I remember seeing the Green TD and then the Burfict pick and just bouncing the living room in joyful disbelief.
Then when Hill fumbled that ball I SWEAR I could see a black nightmare cloud of doom just engulf that stadium on TV. It was surreal. I remember seeing fans crying as if someone had just died and truth be told that might not be far from reality. I remember during the post game show Sims, Boomer, and Cowher were literally sick to their stomachs, not due to them merely disliking the Bengals but I think due to genuine shock at the travesty every football fan witnessed at that moment. The Bengals were seconds away from having their most historic moment in well over 30 years and they squandered it in the most morbid, gut wrenching fashion that you could imagine. I even knew people who were Steelers fans and I tell you they didn't even feel good about that win. Nobody on Earth could feel good about the way that game ended. It was a disgusting display.
If the franchise ever gets sold or moves away it will be that day that NFL historians will point to as the literal ton of bricks that finally broke the camel's back.
