I've been watching more. It's just nice to be at the point, the last few years, where I can watch football as a fan of the game itself, without all the stupidity and motivated reasoning of tribal fandom stuff. I don't care if the Bengals are a "rival," they're a good, fun team now. Good for them. I just wanna see good games get played, great teams get rewarded, and I wanna see long-suffering fan bases have their moment in the sun (hence the Bills love).
It makes it a lot more fun to just sit and watch a game and admire it all, without the looming specter of anger or disappointment hanging over it. I really like this stage of fandom and I really wish more fans would end up in a similar place.
