I agree Brown is a terrible owner, but lets be realistic.  Over the previous 15 years the Bengals have been an above average franchise.  That is not good enough, but it is much better than the bottom third of the league.  Just look


'04-'18  ....wins....%.....playoffs....playoff wins
Cin...........123.....519.......7...........0
Cle........... 69......290.......0...........0
Oak.......... 81......338.......1...........0
Det.......... 92.......383.......3...........0
Tam......... 93.......388.......2...........0
Wash.......101.......423.......4............1
Buff.........102.......425.......1............0
Ten.........108.......450.......3.............1
Mia..........103......429........2............0

Again I want to make it clear that I am not supporting the poor performance of our front office.  I just want to give a little perspective to the argument that the Bengals are so bad they "effect the NFL brand".
