And while I completely understand that mindset and do think most of us have taken playoff appearances for granted, it's pretty evident the majority of the fan base just wants to see that elusive playoff win.
Maybe if/when the Bengals do get that playoff win, we'll start seeing more appreciation for regular-season wins again.
What would the fans consider more successful?
1) Five consecutive playoff appearances but no playoff wins
2) Two playoff appearances in a span of five years but one playoff victory
Definately 2, atleast we would know Marv and company could win a playoff game that way.
The proof is in the pudding as Bengals67 here says, 0-7.

0-7 in playoffs
How many playoff wins in the history of the franchise- 3 or 4 in 50 years? And all of those before Mike took over?
record against Steelers overall and at home.
What rational organization does not make big changes after these facts
Would the Eagles have won Super Bowl with Reid or Chip Kelly?
And I will plead guilty. But who can blame the long suffering fans - including me who has watched this for over 50 years- for losing our minds to some extent.
The Bengals fans are some of the best and most loyal in all pro sports under these circumstances. Pleasing the fans or fan loyalty are not big issues with Mike Brown.
Spot on, the fans are not the ones who need ridiculing here...
Complete irrationality on Fred's part.
Thank God most Bengal fans are more rational.
