In the early 2000's all Bengal fans talked about was "making the playoffs". But then when we went to the playoffs 6 times in 7 years Bengal fans had to change to "winning a playoff game" as the ultimate measure of which teams were most successful. And as soon as we win a playoff game that will no longer matter.
Not defending the drought. Just pointing out the nature of how fans change their opinion to enhance their victim status.
Of course we did! What, were we supposed to keep hoping for more playoff losses?
