Winning creates something called momentum and it’s not just about what goes into n tge field.
Even a first round exit in tge play offs, free agents take notice. Bengals turned this around in 3 years with a QB like Burrow all of a sudden higher quality free agents come here, contract negotiations get a little easier, maybe players take a smaller contract to stay or play. Rookies start to believe you don’t come here to ruin your career or move on in 4 years to a much better football team.
Establish a history of winning and you bring up Bengal greats of old, you get more fan analysts (when Pittsburgh got swept).
Start winning right now, all the bad goes away and become stories.
You want this team in the play offs. As faulty and sporadic as this team has been this year, it has learned to beat good teams even with serious faults. It would be a luxury, but it’s important to win NOW.
