I used to want to believe the league is set up for parity to give each team an equal chance, but there are just too many coincidences to sell that idea anymore .
The Atlanta Falcons had the game in the bag 28-3 in the 3rd quarter and yet for reasons absolutely unknown to anyone alive except for the people involved a 40 year old outplayed a bunch of young dudes in the prime of their lives as if by magic.. *POOF!* I'm just not a big believer in magic, but conspiracies? When billions of dollars are on the line you betcha!
No parity? Some 23 teams have been to the Super Bowl since we last have. That's parity.
The Bengals refuse to hire a GM and have a woefully small scouting staff by NFL standards. They just refuse to change. There is no conspiracy. They tolerate mediocrity.
But hey...if believing in some elaborate conspiracy helps you root for the Bengals...then great!
