Yea I can understand that when looking at the past decade, but the past four years had a winning percentage of .336.
It all depends on the narrative someone wants to go with.
The Bengals had a great decade in regards to regular season success due to the first half of the decade.
They also have been bad the second half of the decade.
They also have fewer postseason wins in the past decade than some teams who have had worse regular season success over the same decade.
All are true.

My point is what's more important, regular season success or postseason success?

The way I see it, the Bengals are above the following teams when combining regular season and postseason success in recent memory:
Browns
Lions
Dolphins
Raiders
Cardinals
Jets
Bills
Redskins
Bucs
Jags
Giants (unless you go back to 2011 season when they won SB)

That puts them around 20th in the league in my eyes. While that's obviously not the worst, that's still bottom half of the league.
