But, in reality, when you look at it objectively, the Mike Brown Bengals have put together a boatload of teams with the talent to get to the playoffs and win. Losing, once they got there, is on the coaches and players, not on Mike Brown, because he's not coaching. Now, some of it is just horrendous luck with injuries to guys like Palmer and Dalton, some of it is because the whole team came out and crapped the bed (think Chargers). I fail to see how lack of performance on game day is ownerships fault when you had coaches here everyone covets, like Zimmer, Gruden, etc. How many teams make the playoffs 5 years in a row? At some point, players have to perform on the big stage.

Either way, MB personally made his first 11 years in charge a total waste of time.  So it took him over a decade to assemble a team that could flop on the big stage due to bad luck.
