Did you feel like we were we Americas team?

How loud were the fans in riverfront?

National media love us any instead of trashing us every second now?

Just curious how the energy was with everything.  With Burrow here I just want that feeling one time.

It was beyond great. Bengals whipped the Steelers with regularity, had a real, tough rivalry with the Browns, tried to crush the Oilers (Jerry Glanville) at every turn, playoff wins...2 Super Bowl appearances...etc...etc. 

Seriously, it was the best time to be a Bengals fan (except for those 2 SB sundays   ) and Riverfront was soooooo freaking loud, you could not hear yourself scream when the team was rolling. 

I can't even begin to describe the feeling i had when Vontaze picked that pass in the 4th qtr of the '15 playoff game...only to have it disappear a minute later when Hill fumbled--i just knew it was over... I hadn't had that specific feeling since '90 and it was gone in a flash. 

Tragic
