I don't accept it either. But I don't have to act like the 60th percentile is complete failure.
I've noticed that most people who try to pump themselves up with the "I don't accept mediocrity" BS generally lead very mediocre lives. For example they tend to be obsessed with losers like Vanilla Ice.
I am just as disappointed with playoff losses as you. I just don't see the need to embellish my victim status. It is still better to make the playoffs and lose than not make the playoffs.

The record does speak for itself. Bengals were the worst team in the league '92-'02, but they have had some success since they hired Marvin. Not nearly enough success, but far from the complete failure you cry about.
