Believe the O-line carried us in 05 and Palmer was not hurt yet. If I remember right Cedric Benson had a great year in 09 to help cause. These are the Bengals only really good years during his tenure.
Whatever happened in 10 it was rectified by removing Carson, Ocho, and TO and replacing them studs with college players that have not looked back since. Even though they were predicted to suck by everybody. Even Bengals fans, see sig bet from mothership.
04 went 8-8 and did not make playoffs.
05 great year except they lost their last 3 games and it was reported Chad hit coach in halftime locker room of playoff game they were winning. Team came out flat afterwards.
06 Bengals were 8-8 did not make playoffs.
09 Benson ran really well, even rushed for 169 yards in playoff game but got no help. Also the tragedy of Zimmers wife dying was extra motivation I believe. Think Benson was one of the top NFL rushers that season even though he missed 3 games.
Anyway, not really wanting to debate Chad. Was only pointing out Hill's new ritual.
Maybe it is not even a new thing and he just does not get that excited over a preseason game TD and has bigger fish to fry. Time will tell.
But these are new Bengals and I no longer consider 8-8 seasons good. They are what they are, average.

The water tastes funny when you're far from your home,
yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam.
Roam the Jungle !
