I don't understand how people can think that winning just one playoff game in one year is an amazing accomplishment that defines success, but making the playoffs multiple years is so shitty they would rather lose and not even make the playoffs. that just does not make any sense to me.

To me a team is successful if they make the playoffs, but unless you make the Super Bowl there is no huge dividing line between losing in the first round and losing in the second round.

So by your definition the bengals are a failure and would qualify as among the worst teams in the nfl.  Furthermore, they haven't come close to your ultimate since 1988.  Under ebenezer's watch they are even more of a failure.  

If Marvin is such a great coach and the bengals do as much as other teams do wouldn't they have been able to closer than they have to your ultimate goal in the past 30 years?
