The Chiefs have a poor playoff history, i’ve heard many in the media talking about that and I’m sure their fans are pretty disgusted as well. Let’s face it,  the Bengals won’t turn off the negative media until they have some post season success.

Agreed.  It's all about perspective.  The Bills of the 1990s showed us that even making it to the Super Bowl doesn't stop you from being a mockable joke if you lose 4 in a row.  

As for the Bengals, it's clear that we have a franchise that has installed a ceiling upon our team's success and every time we have a promising season that hits that ceiling with a fury, I expect people to point it out.  In 27 Mike Brown seasons we've managed to finish in 12th place 7 times, and no better.  That's a sort of consistency that is worth picking on.
