I'm sorry but the Bengals should have wiped the floor with the Texans. No team as good as the Bengals should ever play as bad as they did in that game. "Any Given Sunday" is all well and good for a game like this past Sunday between the Ravens and Steelers, but not that Texans at Bengals game. That was an embarrassment and should have never had happened.

"Playoff Team" is another that should never gain traction for the reasons stated in the OP.

Another that gets on my nerves is "There are no bad teams in the NFL". I'm sorry, the Cleveland Browns are a bad team. They have only 3 wins for a reason and that reason is because they are bad.

And if they are truly that bad, then they should have zero wins, but that has happened only once in a 16 game season, just as there has been only one team to get through 16 games without a loss.

Yes, there are teams who are on the top end of the spectrum of overall talent of the players and coaches, as well as teams on the bottom end of the spectrum.  But, as has already been stated, the spectrum isn't very wide in the NFL.  If it could be quantified, the spectrum would be a mile long in high school, a few hundered yards long in college, and only one foot long in the NFL.
