Even a 7-9 season would be overperforming, the way the media talks about this team.

They'll be surprised when we return to one and done playoff season status.

There's a large chunk of NFL fans that watch a game or two a season, play some fantasy football and then pick it up in the playoffs. Those people reads the sports section, online blogs and watch sports TV. And it's easy to look good in front of them when you can take a team like the Bengals and say 'Nope, no postseason here.' The actual record isn't even that big of a deal to this demographic, they're only wanting to know who is going to be left standing at the end of the year.
