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.  

You're touting regular season wins:
From 2000-2010 we were 26th in the league.
From 2007-2017 we were 14th. And this span is probably the best 10 year span that could be cherrypicked to prove the Bengals are good. And it's still 14th!

I don't know that those numbers disprove people saying we need a GM. More scouts. An indoor practice facility.

Some people are just happy we're not 1990's level bad I suppose.
