Experts call for a lot of things that don't favor the Bengals and have been wrong consecutive years since 2011, right?
In this thread you have also discredited the franchise as less than top tier. That's your right to do so, but it's really off base. They turned the ship around years ago and are now viewed as a top tier organization by many NFL fan bases. I actually hear Bengals fans dogging the organization more than fans from other teams and that is a huge change!
Anyone that uses the term bungles when I'm talking football has been using the term as good natured ribbing. That is a much different attitude than the 90's through 2010.
They don't have the championships yet, but the Bengals organization as a whole can be mentioned with the Patriots, Steelers, Packers, etc. as a top run organization. I don't see anything that indicates that changing any time soon.
