Andy Dalton: Anyone that wanted a loss today is not a real fan

[grampahol]

What fans want is not the same as what players want all the time. Few players grew up as Bengals fans. Most fans pick a team as kids and never change except for a few bandwagoneers. They don't count anyway. Players too grow up as fans of a team just like every other fan, but the difference is who signs their paychecks. Players are always trying to keep their jobs with any team so throwing games is seldom in their own best personal interest. Pretending otherwise is an exercise in being just a dumb fan.
