Yep.

I really started getting interested in the Bengals in 2005 when I found out they were going to the playoffs.
Since then, I've watched the Bengals make seven playoff appearances and potentially pushing for playoffs two more of those years (2006, 2007).

From 2006-2015, they were very enjoyable to watch overall. They may not have won a playoff game, but at least the majority of the seasons were exciting.

The problem is the Bengals are now 5 years of losing seasons in a row, something that hadn't happened since before Marvin came on board. We hoped that the "lost decade" was a thing of the past for this franchise, but the Bengals are on pace to potentially have it happen again. They are already halfway through and things are not on the upswing. This team might still be another few years away from the postseason again, possibly longer as long as Taylor is at the helm.

Hopefully this ownership can make some good decisions again to help get this organization back to consistent winning seasons.
