Playoffs and were screwed over by the refs and Jeremeh fumbling (while he goes to the Pats and brags about winning a
SB he had no part of). We all know about MB and his cheapness in the past but there is a clear bias against this team and
any Bengals fan that doesn't see it is clearly blind.
Hopefully Joe Burrow brings us some playoff wins and lots of Superbowls and we gain a lot of bandwagon fans and even
the media becomes fans of us because of it. Just don't see it happening, they will hate us regardless.
Meh, saying the media is going to hate us even if we win the SB is like me saying my wife is going to give me grief even if I get a job and last more than 30 seconds in bed...it's just stinkin' thinkin'! Who does the media like? Why does the media like that team? Are we like the likable teams? What can we do to get to that point?
If Burrow is as good as advertised I assure you the media is going to run his feel-good hometown hero story into the ground to the point where our rivals grind their teeth in anger. It's like when we played the Chiefs and in the gameday thread people were complaining about how much they were talking about Mahommes....the guy was the MVP and he went on to win the SB that year. They weren't just harping on how great Mahommes was because the owner of the Chiefs was holding them at gunpoint.
This ain't rocket science folks!
EDIT - I'm predicting Burrow is so good this year that during the 2021 season there are going to be a ridiculous number of commercials with him in them ala Baker in 2019.
