We could have won in the playoffs in 09, only to lose the following week, and I would still take this year's team over the 09 squad as the best Bengals team ever.

How did the squads in those long ago years make the SB?  Did they have to play dominant teams like the Patriots or Broncos?  Or did they get favorable match ups?

But they got to the Super Bowl, that's the point.  We're not grading on a curve, here.  Those teams were special because they were this close to a world championship.  :34 in one instance.  If this team plays in a Super Bowl, regardless of the outcome, and they best the 12-4 regular season records of those '81 and '88 squads, then then you bet I will join you in saying they're the best Bengal team, ever.  Period.  But, sorry, not a minute before and certainly not with an entire half of a season left to play.
