Other than reading up on things on Mondays (usually) I haven't paid a whole lot of attention to this team this year. It's too painful to pay close attention and see them lose game after game after game and far easier to see them lose like this and not pay much attention. I'll pay more attention when they turn the corner. For me it's like how i feel towards dogs. I love dogs, but after losing several year after year it seemed I quit wanting to get another.

Bell, Reader, and Alexander were all here the first two weeks of the season when we got shredded for 370 rushing yards.

Way too impatient Fred. This is only year two for zac. Everyone knows a true Bengals rebuild takes 8-10 years.

We played Single High with Bates pretty much the entire game with no pass rush. That will help any Offense. The Safeties are not
at the hashes so an entire part of the field is wide open for the QB to pick apart. It was terrible scheme and Lou should of went 
away from it when Mayfield hit like 8 passes in a row, let alone, 21 or whatever. I want a new DC after seeing that shit.

Should of went to Cover 2 or Cover 3, never stay with the Single High the ENTIRE FRICKIN' GAME!!!

THIS.
Once I came to the same realization, it made things a lot easier.
Now, whenever I get razzed on by co-workers, friends, etc about the Bengals... I simply say, "it's out of my control."

wins are the only thing that matters

Press some buttons then! Maybe it'll bring back some mojo.

I'm very patient. We have a damn good qb now. Got to remember as much as Marvin was a winning coach here, he was 0-7 in playoff games. And in the national televised games...prime time...he won 8 out of 39 games. We just failed on the big stage. We are rebuilding right now. Both Super Bowl Bengal teams had crappy records the year before.
