Anybody else catching some Saints flashbacks from this Bengals team?

Yep. Games are just way more fun when you are watching near-perfect QB play every week. Those 7-9 seasons were always enjoyable in a weird way.

Like we knew we weren’t going anywhere, but it was still fun just watching the team compete. You knew we were building something and always just a good draft or a couple strokes of luck away from greatness.

Nothing weird about it. The entire Brees/Payton era, we were always in it. We fans could legitimately go into every game and every season knowing we had a shot. Didn't always turn out that way, but we weren't delusional.
We were legit contenders. Some of the best 7-9 teams in NFL history. And win or lose, having an elite offense is fun to watch.
