Reminds me of last year, between Bills fans showing up and Browns fans showing up.

Bills fans came here to troll first and foremost, but even looking at the forum they came from, they were incredibly naive 'born yesterday' type of fans who thought they would be handed a Lombardi because they could put up 50 points on some 5 win team. I'm sure we came off as arrogant assholes, mostly because they stormed into our house and took a giant dump in the living room... but, also because they seriously knew nothing about football.

Browns fans showed up and almost all of them were respectful and wanted to talk football, and also knew one 11-win season didn't mean they were guaranteed playoff success.... they had been around and seen some shit, and we all seemed to be on the same level.

And reading the Bengals board, I'd say they're far closer to the Browns fans who showed up... they're happy to be watching a winning team and excited to see what the Bengals can do this weekend. I didn't get the sense they all of a sudden believe they're going to take the league by storm.
