Im over it and have been for 15 years at least. In today's game you have to play to win. When we got a 21 point lead we should've blitzed the hell out of Rivers. But nope, our cheesy cuddly coaches decided to be anti-smart and prevent us from winning instead.

I would love to see about 60,000 fans write letters saying something like "if you ever run tha stupid defense again, we are all quitting our fandom." There is nothing more stupid than watching the Bengals run the prevent. Even back when our D was good, our prevent was horrible. Maybe it was useful in the 1950's but it sucks now.

It's especially frustrating when you consider that we had back to back three in outs playing in your face press coverage.
