Looking back on it.... I'm starting to believe this team lost their mojo in weeks 2 and 3 when the zebras basically stole those games from them. Had that Bengals team that ran off 8 consecutive wins last year played the dollyfins in week 4 they may have won 56-0 instead of 22-7. While there has been a few player and coaching changes the play books (as we are led to believe) remained relatively intact on both sides of the ball. I believe most of the players realized the deck was stacked against them, and walking into the Taj mahal of stadiums only fortified the malaise of being ripped off by the league. To steal some words from the Donald - "it's rigged" (btw - 4 million Americans to choose from and we get to choose between an idiot and a crook - nation must be feeling smarter by the minute). As a fan from day one in 68 and having served an active duty military career 20+ years - I'm just over how effed our government and other institutions (including the NFL) have become, and how those same institutions have the audacity to believe we don't see what's going on. I know this board is not a good place to be get on the political soapbox but the parallels when it comes to media as it relates to government and the NFL is extremely similar.

Is there some sort of message board Concussion Protocol we could enter BengalD in?
Seriously though, I agree it is beyond frustrating on how this 2016 squad looks as well as the long year that probably awaits starting with the death march to New England this Sunday.
As to the second half of your post? Um, yeah sure.
Love the Xmas Vacation reference though. Also, thank you for your service good sir.

I prefer to call them the JERK and the LIAR. At least you can believe the JERK.
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

It doesn't matter on a political point of view/standpoint...some 11 year old kid already knows who he/she wants to be in office, much like the 9 year old who rigged the election for Obama...
We (as fans) have to just believe in the system of our favorite team or leave the country...per USA or NFL.
