What a disastrous decision!

Some 23 teams have appeared in the Super Bowl since we last won A SINGLE playoff game.

I know what you mean.  My grandmother was a die hard Reds/Bengals fan.  I have many a fond memory sitting in her carport listening to games while I played around outside.  So, of course, I wound up a fan of both.  I barely remember the Super Bowl in '81, but I was all in in '88.  I attended my first Bengals game that season, an OT thriller against the 'skins to seal homefield advantage for the playoffs.  Been hooked ever since.....lol.

Interesting side note, my first live MLB game was in '85 against your Dodgers and Fernando Valenzuela.  Eric Davis had a break out game that day as well.  We had great seats behind the Dodgers dugout, and my pop snapped some great photos of some of that crew, Fernando, Steve Sax, Mike Sciosscia, Mariano Duncan (a key element in the Reds '90 WS win), Franklin Stubbs, Pedro Guerrero, Kenny Landreaux, Mike Marshall, etc.  Lots of shots of the Reds of that time too.
