Media bias is no worse than Bengal fan bias against their own team.
I think media bias can also sway fan bias.
Look at the pre-season when the media ignores the team who had the best pre-season and most pick Ravens or Steelers to win the AFCN. Then, many said no 5th year in a row.
Next thing I know, I see some of our fans spouting the same crap which based on the facts of talent, guys returning for us and adding MJ back made no sense as both Steelers and Ravens lost more starters.
I am still waiting for all of those experts and our fans to step up and now and say they were wrong mightily and used reputation versus the reality of rosters this year to make their picks. Anyone who did not pick the Bengals to at a minimum make the playoffs proved they are a moron, but they will hit the mute button and not own up to it now.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.
