Yes, but most teams that aren't great on the field make marketing decisions to bolster the value of their brand.  The Cowboys haven't won a SB in quite a while, but they have a marketing hold akin to Coca "gotta have it because that's just the way it is "Cola.  Other teams have history and rings of honor and other things to divert attention away from the W-L record and onto other aspects of the brand's value.  The Bengals don't do that.  We are good or not good and we're just sort of here.  We have no noteworthy history, 1 guy in the HOF, and the only thing noteworthy about us in the past decade is how little we change.

Mike Brown is lucky to be in a fail-free business, because no brand that has so little relevance to consumers for so long would be able to remain this stagnant without being overtaken by a number of new competitors.
