But none of this disputes my assertion that I understand the perspective of the perpetual optimist. You have no basis nor right to infer that I choose to be miserable. In fact, I'm anything but miserable. I do tend to take the more negative outlook when it comes to the Bengals and the Reds because it's the pragmatic way to approach them. Doesn't mean I don't hope to someday be shocked and thrilled. I do think those days CAN come, and when it becomes evident we are trending in the right direction, my expectations and hope will be adjusted accordingly.

Really EVERY other NFL city in the US has had that year where they had some success and won a playoff game.

It's unthinkable that we haven't had that. 2015 could have been our year I suppose.

I was thinking about talented rosters and how many years we had a roster that I would deem talented enough to win a playoff game...and it's maybe 3-4 over 27 years.

It's not a curse. This teams on field achievement is directly linked to management philosophy.

I can't really speak to the Reds. Baseball is a different animal than football. Football has a strong salary cap. Baseball is kind of anything goes if you are willing to pay the luxury tax.
