Then, of course, getting smashed in the Super Bowl, by Brady, further adding to his legacy (even though he didn’t do shit to earn it), cementing the fact that Mahomes will never be the GOAT, when we already beat them early on in the regular season.
Idk.. The Bengals last year seemed like one of those weird destiny type of teams. They came pretty close to knocking off a stacked Rams team at home in the Super Bowl. It was a magical season for them.

Imop losing to the Bucs in the Super Bowl was easily the was the worst loss in the Mahomes era. The vibe after losing the 2019 AFC championship game to the Pats was still pretty optimistic because it was Mahomes first year starting and at the point there was no reason to believe we wouldn’t get a few more shots at Brady in the AFC playoffs. When we lost to the Bucs though it put Brady up 2-0 on Mahomes in the postseason and the only way to get another crack at him is to make the Super Bowl and hope they Bucs do too. Plus you had to deal with the ****ing insufferable fake bandwagon Bucs fans on Monday too. And I’m talking about the ****ing biggest bandwagoners too. (housewives and shit that claimed to be “Patriots fans” over the last twenty years just because they were good that now claim to be Bucs fans because the always loved Brady).
It was even worse because I think if the officials called an even game we might’ve come through with a close win.
Yeah, it doesn’t get much ****ing worse than that.
The Bengals loss sucked because we should’ve easily won, but there’s no history or beef with the Bengals and they haven’t been propped up by the Zebras or anything so they’re not as annoying.
