All I do is point out that the Bengals are not the worst team in the league.  Making the playoffs is not an "embarrassment".

I see the fans of the best teams in the league celebrate when they clinch a playoff spot.  If it has meaning to them then why can't it have meaning to us?  Why do you have to embellish your victim status and try to turn making the playoffs into total failure?

Getting embarrassed via an absolute meltdown in the Playoffs is an embarrassment. Having former players universally decry the petty cheapness of Mike Brown is embarrassing. Getting owned by the Steelers for the entirety of Marvin’s tenure is embarrassing. Having the league’s worst defense is embarrassing.

I don’t embrace “victim” status. Rather, I don’t accept mediocrity or the 60th percentile (aka 1st round Playoff exits) as you do. The reality is the Bengals are and have been among the most poorly run professional sports teams since Mike took over. The terrible record speaks for itself. Marvin has been merely average in the regular season, and historically bad in the Playoffs. Keep lapping up that success Fred. After 16 years of Marvin and 26 of Mike all you can bring up for celebration are a few Wild Card births and a few AFC North titles, which all led to subsequent Playoff losses.

In any other city the coach would have been fired years ago.
