I feel ya, man. I watch replays and get about as excited as when they happened. I hear the crowd roar against the Raiders on the last play and it almost brings tears to my eyes and I wish I could've been there! My son and I throw the football and run routes and always call out "Burrow!" after a good pass or the various receivers when there's a good catch. Then we always talk about the season or the future. Keep them healthy and they'll make us even more emotional and excited for seasons to come!

My Falcons suffered a terrible super bowl loss and it probably stings for Cincy not to win this one, but this I consider this Bengals Super Bowl loss as a rare moral victory in the Super Bowl imo. The team is still young with a young DYNAMIC QB and this experience will help them moving forward after coming off decades without a playoff win before last season. Burrow's too good not to win at least one super bowl in his career. Enjoy the ride y'all

[@tdbl2079]

As devastating of a loss the SB was it was such a privilege to watch what this team did. It gave me the first playoff win I’ve seen in my lifetime. Dating back to 2005 we’ve seen it all with a devastating injury to Palmer and the heartbreaking 2016 loss to the Steelers. To have been through all that this year felt so rewarding.
