We had the Steelers beat. We did not win, but no way you can say that we were "not competative" when it took a miracle for the Steelers to pull pout the victory.
I am as hungry as any other fan for a postseason victory, but In also canb see a little perspective.
Since Marvin started his 0-7 playoff streak there are 4 teams in the NFL that have never even made the playoffs. There are 4 others who have never won a playoff game, and 5 more who have only won one. Less than half of the league (14 teams) have been to the playoffs more than the Bengals.
And even thought the Jags have won a playoff game since '05 they also only have two winning seasons and have not won more than 5 games in the last 7 years. So would you really trade just one playoff win since '05 for 10 non-winning seasons?
It is possible for me to not be satisfied with no playoff wins, but also see that we are not an embarrassment or a joke. And I certainly do not think the bengals have achieved all of this without even wanting to win. That is just ridiculous.
