But hey, if you want to paint 6 humiliating playoff losses in 7 years as some sort of trashbin dynasty, all the power to you. I can't disagree, but acting like we are an enviable team for this stretch (with the hindsight of losing 5 in a row) is tantamount to admitting (in my mind) that we are simply a 2nd-tier organization with lowered expectations compared to other franchises.
We have an organizational model that makes winning a playoff game comparable to many other franchises winning the Super Bowl, or the Conference Championship. Perhaps I'm wrong. Maybe it's just a curse. Mike Brown probably stiffed a gypsy back in the early 50's.
So much logical fail I don't know where to start.
Saying that we are better than some other teams in no way means we have lowered expectations. You have to have a brick for a brain to claim that there is no difference between a playoff team and a 4-12 team. But saying that a playoff team is better than a 4-12 team does not mean we have lower expectations. Why can't you grasp the simple concept that it is possible to both say we are better than a 4-12 team AND not as good as a Super Bowl team. Is your brain so limited that it can not accept both of those concepts at the same time?
And not one single person here or in the Bengals organization has ever said that winning a playoff game for us is the same as winning a Super Bowl for other teams. What do you even mean by that? It is nothing but gibberish.
this is nothing but gibberish.
