Over the last 16 years the bengals have ben in the top half of the leagu in wins. They have won more games against iother playoff teams than most teams in the league. They have a higher winning percentage against teams with winning records than most teamsin the league. To look at all thjose numbers and argue that the Bengals have been the worst team in the league over that stretch is laughable.
It is ridiculous to ignore how many teams have won championships and how teams have done in the regular season and instead just look at playoff wins. It is just an exercise in mental gymnastics in order to shit on the Bengals.
...and that’s the kind of thinking that will prevent this team from ever winning a Super Bowl. Mike Brown’s antiquated way of running this franchise and straight out refusal to evolve as other teams have, have kept us on the cusp. A change in personnel and coordinators and yet same exact results.
It’s almost like an old fashion defense lawyer who loses every case yet claims victory because his/her clients never receive the maximum sentence/penalty under the law. Yet he/she refuses to change the way they prepare for their cases.
