Seems like the same old story, year after year. It always starts with the season before. The Bengals have a decent showing and then the roof caves in. It’s a predictable pattern that has made most faithful numb. First, there are the promises followed by reckless abandon, i.e.,10 or 11 wins. A Wild Card berth is tossed onto the banks of the Queen City and then it happens. The Bengals lose and it starts again. Fans are tired of the waiting game.
There’s no need to get the pitchforks and torches out. Cincinnati’s mad scientist has been out in the open since 2003.
