Defense-Mike Reid was a dominate DT, Bill Bergey was a Top LB, Casanova, Riley, and Parrish were all HOF caliber players in the secondary. That defense alone should have brought at least one title to Cincinnati.

On offense Ken Andrerson HOF Caliber QB, Isaac Curtis HOF caliber WR, Charlie Joyner HOF WR!

Coaching Staff Paul Brown and Bill Walsh.

Seriously How in the blue Hell did that team not win Multiple Championships.

Bergey and Reid were gone by ‘75 just as the offense was hitting its ‘70s peak. Bill Walsh left after the ‘75 season and just like that the window had passed.

As others pointed out the AFC was top heavy in those days. Mia/Oak/Pit all dominant.
