He got one after only 2 winning seasons in 2010 and I assume he got one before that when he only had a single winning season on his resume. I'm just saying that Del Rio having only 3 winning seasons puts him on par, or maybe a little better than Marvin's resume after as many years as HC.
My main point is that we love to act like the world was crazy and stupid when they thought the 2011 Bengals squad would suffer but we are already counting the Raiders, Bill, Texans, Dolphins, Chiefs, Chargers etc. DOA for our latest walk right into the playoffs.
Not DOA, but the Bengals should be favorites to make it again. Are there any reasons they shouldn't be? 99% of our own fan base didn't think the 2011 team would make the playoffs, and for good reason.
We're not fighting those teams for 3 spots, we're fighting them for one of 6 spots. If you're automatically counting the Pats, Broncos and Colts, why are you ripping Bengals fans who are that confident about their own team?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
