If you're really hoping they prove something to non fans of this team then don't hold your breath. They could go 16-0 and win my 40 points every single game and it wouldn't matter to most people. A super bowl win is the only thing that will prove anything to the media and outside fans.
Don't expect people to stay calm when you falsely accuse them of things... twice.
Anyways, I don't buy into the whole "They could go 16-0 and win my 40 points every single game and it wouldn't matter to most people"
Look at the Arizona Cardinals. They looked great last year, went what 14-2? People are still swinging from their nuts. Dominant victories give you a lot more leverage with the media and outside fans. There isn't anything to really say one team (Bengals or Cardinals) is better than the other, they both failed in the playoffs, in fact, the Cardinals looked way worse in the playoffs. BUT, dominant victories by the Cardinals last year put them in super bowl predictions and given the benefit of the doubt.
Does any of this mean anything? No, not really, but that is the point. The NFL is somewhat a political game, and large statement victories give you more leeway with the viewers.
