Draft illusion and reality

Hobson is lauding the Bengals for having a higher regular season winning percentage than the Rams and Titans, both of whom have had multiple postseason wins the past few years.

So my question is this...
Would you rather have the Bengals' level of success the past decade or the Rams/Titans?
You'd have fewer winning seasons but more postseason success.

Hard to say...

The playoff monkey is only a big deal because we haven't won one in so long, but since the Rams or the Titans did NOT win the SB in that span, I'll take the more wins period.

Now, if one of them won the SB in that same time, then this is a complete no-brainer, but the playoff loss drought is just a matter of fan-pride; unless you win the SB, people don't care how great your record is and if you win in the playoffs (see Marty Schottenheimer {SP?}).

Hobspin is in crisis management mode.

No he's not, why are you being so melodramatic and negative?

He's boosting with bengal-coloured glasses, but that's it; the caption under the first photo is (paraphrasing), "Roger Goodell will make the first selection and we can all expect him to say what we think he'll say," and the second photo is a picture of Burrow with, "Presumptive 1st overall pick."

Stop.
