Right now you worship at the alter of the "playoff win" metric and ignore other like "championships" or "total wins" because they do not make the Bengals look as bad.  But as soon as the Bengals win a playoff you game you will move on to something else.  Suddenly your ultimate measurement will be "meaningless if you don't win a championship".

Granted, its a cherry picked stat but that is what happens when you are dead last at something.

We are focused on playoff wins like the Browns fans dying to get 8 wins and end that losing streak and the Lions fans would be ecstatic to make their first SB.

Different sport and all, but I have a lot of friends who are Pirates fans and when they were the first pro team in any sport to have 20 losing seasons in a row just breaking .500 was orgasmic.

I worked across the river from PNC and when they hosted that one wild card game people in the office were going nuts and scrambling to get tickets.  It was pretty crazy, especially since these same people had experienced multiple championships via the Steelers and Penguins.
