How is the "losing money" every year?

By regular season wins, the Bengals are winners during the Dalton years. When measured against the "blue chips" (Playoff games), they're 0-fer. The Bengals also have a losing record against the Division the last four years, and have fattened their win total on the non conference schedule.  Most irritating Is that the Steelers have owned the Bengals the past four years, and the lowly Browns have played the Bengals to a virtual draw.

There have been some good wins in the past four years, including Denver last year, the perfectly timed monsoon against NE, stifling GB.  The problem is no one remembers who wins lots of regular season games.  People remember who wins championships, and who consistently competes for them.  Marty Schottenheimer won lots of regular season games, but didn't win d1ck when it mattered most.  Do fans in Cleveland, San Diego, and KC remember him for his regular season success?  Nope, they dog him for never leading them to the promised land with talented rosters.  We're all happy that the Bengals are consistently winning 9-10 games each year, but we're frustrated as he11 they can't quit stepping on their d1cks in the Playoffs.  Merely making the upper 40% each year is not enough.  It's time to become a legitimate threat to win it all.
