This actually reminds me of a poll I posted back on the old message board, about whether or not it was necessarily relevant that the Bengals haven't won a playoff game in over 20 years.

Polian seems to agree with my opinion that being a consistent playoff contender is the most important step towards getting to and winning a Super Bowl. 

Drafting for depth and building a powerful roster is the most effective way to build a team, IMHO. And with New England and Denver seemingly going through their own troubles with their quarterbacks and rosters our time may come sooner than later.

The issue I have is are we really a "consistent playoff contender" ? Or is it more like we've made the playoffs by a hair, backed in, or whatever you want to call it ?

In other words we're not improving ! It's the same game over and over again. The only game we've really "been in" was the first qtr. and change in the San Diego game then we folded like a pup tent like we always do.

Like McC talks about is it really our talent ? Or is it something else ?

I feel we've been way more a playoff pretender than a true in the hunt contender !
