I was just pointing out how all the complainers ignore our regular season record because it does not make the Bengals look like the worst team in the league.  In fact it puts us in the top half of the league.  That is not good enough, but it certainly puts a hole in "the worst team in the league" argument.  

You can't have a better record than a majority of the teams without doing something right.  But all I hear is how we can't draft, we don't sign good free agents, and we had the worst coaches.  At some point you have to look at the numbers and give the Bengals credit for doing SOMETHING better than a majority of teams in the league.  

Nobody is trying to make the Bengals look like the worst team in the league. Currently, there are definitely worse teams.

At our peak, we were the 14th best regular season team. Does that make you happy? Are there speeches to get players fired up at the start of the year that are like 'Maybe. Just Maybe...if EVERYTHING GOES WELL...we'll be the 14th best team over the decade!!!'

This proves one of my theories that the 90's were so bad that many fans are happy to just be average. It also explains why Marvin Lewis lasted so long.
