Doc: 'The Cincinnati Bengals belong to you, the fans'

It sounds like MB is content with making the playoffs 5 years in a row...which is better than most franchise. But, when you look at no playoff wins in 26+ years, that's terrible. They choose not to look at that. They cherry pick indicators of success.

I keep going back to no franchise keeps a coach 10 years without winning a playoff game. We're looking at 16+ here.

While fans view this as a failure, the Bengals brass views this as a golden era based on what they experienced in the 90's.

Yep.  "What the hell do they want from me?  We went to the playoffs five years in a row.  That should last them a lifetime."
