I think I've gone the opposite. In my teens I watched, but with expectations to win more often. As I've aged, its become the other, I expect to lose with this team. All other sports are different.

Re: Bengals/Texans Playoff Game Thread

Story of the Bengals lives, outplay other team and losing. They're clearly the better team but can't seem to finish.

The first challenge was the dumb one by Marvin. It was still 3rd and 1. Why waste a challenge on that? Those are the things that keep Marvin from being a great coach. He's a good one, but hasn't seemed to get any better at managing those types of things.

Yeah that first challenge was horrible. The 2nd one I didn't have a problem with as much since the players were certain it was a pick.

Was a good season. We did much better than I expected. Hopefully a harbinger of good things and days to come.
