Why are Playoff Wins Important? Bengals Edition

And not winning playoff games in the past directly influences a teams chances of winning future SB's.

Furthermore, you have to move on from coaches who cannot get it done within the first 5 years. You cannot fear change with coaches, players, scheme, scouting, etc; you have to embrace it. Of the 31 head coaches to win at least one Super Bowl, 27 of them won their first championship within the first five seasons with that team and QB. So you shouldn't give a coach almost two decades to figure it out. Boomer & Wyche went in their first 5 as well; Cam and Ron did; Ryan and Smith got the falcons there as well. You have to be innovative.


This is where I start to think is the Bengals ultimate downfall. They refuse to step outside their comfort zone of doing business because of the fear of failing. They stay in their little comfort zone, doing business they know will not land them on being "like the 90's".
