It's eerie how much of this story parallels, just change a few names, make the stats a bit worse, and it's like we're staring in a mirror.

Both franchises have one of those terrible Taylor coaches on the sideline.

Starts with ownership. Mike Brown is the cheapest owner in the NFL when it comes to spending money on the backend to help elevate the front end.

The issues they have on the offensive line are on them. For failing to scout, identify and draft properly. As much [BLEEP] as people give the Chiefs for signing JaWaan Taylor? They at least try and keep the personnel churning to give their QB a puncher's chance.

It's bait. That seize the day dude will be in here chanting vae victis once he catches this.

Boo hoo. They went to the SB a mere 3 years ago. As cheap as their owner is, they still made it that far, which means coaches/players must be doing a great job. Unlike here.

That's fair. I just think it goes to show you how quickly your window can be opened and closed at this level. It's not that easy getting back up to the mountain top. The problem people have is why teams seemingly fail in addressing the obvious issues with their teams though.

Burrow got his bell rung during that Superbowl run, then he had back-to-back years with injuries hindering him due to said issues with the offensive line. They shipped Joe Mixon off and their defense got worse in a division that traditionally relies on it's defense and running game to get them through.

I don't know what would hurt me more as a fan though to also be fair again. Getting there and losing the damn game, or, getting close and falling a little short here and there. I think getting to that game and losing it close or getting beatdown badly would cripple me as a fan personally. 

I wonder how Atlanta's fanbase feels when they see that 28 - 3 looming over their heads. Imagine what happens when the Bills Mafia has to once again stomach some jarring upset on the road in Kansas City or Josh Allen reverts back to being Josh Allen and coughs the ball up three times against a wildcard team like Pittsburgh, Baltimore or Los Angeles.

The whole family is a curse!

As a kid who grew up in Cleveland, I didn't care if we got smoked as bad as the Elways did, I just wanted a chance to say we got over that damn hump. 3 AFCCG in 4 years, all to the same team. It was cathartic watching them get absolutely pantsed, but getting there and losing is always going to be better than missing out altogether.

You know how much you hate Jeff Fisher and Greggggggg Williams, how Myles Jack wasn't down, how Dennis Northcutt's tiny t-rex arms keep you up at night. You'd certainly trade any of those nightmares for a chance not to blow a 28-3 lead.

That 28 - 3 lead being blown was brutal. I remember walking outside just after the game had finished to put the trash out on the curb since trash collection is on Monday's and it's just a habit of mine to load it up the night before and wheel it out.

Anyway, about three houses down man, I can hear these two guys, one of them was hammered, for sure, he was trying to be the voice of reason to the other guy, who was probably also hammered mentally and alcoholically. 

Dude, when I tell you that I could hear heartbreak in his death rattle and moans of disgust and angst? My god man, you would have thought he just put his lifelong dog down just now or his child had been flatlined by a speeding vehicle. I felt so bad for that guy, I still get chills dude.

That's how [BLEEP] ICE COLD Tom Brady is. I don't ever want to feel like that guy man. LOL. No thanks. If the Jaguars ever get to that game? They better [BLEEP] win it.

The Cincinnati Bengals have a record of 116 wins 117 losses and 3 ties since 2010.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a record of 75 wins 162 losses since 2010.

Bengals have 41 more wins and 45 less losses than the Jags since 2010

Now go back and look at the QBs for each team in that span and tell me if you see any difference.

This is about the present, not the past. Our teams are in an almost identical situation. Both teams likely need regime change to steer the course back to competing in the AFC. Which one makes the moves, and which one makes the right changes will be very interesting to follow.
