Aren't those statements made by you just minutes apart fairly contradicting of one another?

At first you diminish winning in the playoffs by mocking it by asking if it's really the "pinnacle of sports". You say that you just want a championship and that's that.

Then only a few minutes later you say that we shouldn't feel entitled and that we need to make baby steps to get to the championships.

Those baby steps are the playoff wins that everybody is constantly clamoring about.

So which is it? Do we take baby steps or do you just want a championship and playoff wins (baby steps) aren't enough??

The playoff wins themselves aren't some sort of holy games that are enshrined in the NFL Hall of Fame. Their NFL games. Just like the 16 we play over the course of the season.

You'd have to be superstitious in order to honestly insinuate that winning a playoff game in relevant compared to winning in the regular season.

I don't think any Bengals fan is going to watch one playoff win, and then say "Oh look, we've come so far versus the past four years. This is much better than the annual one and done."

Personally, I would like a playoff win, simply because they are stepping stones to the Super Bowl. That's it. If you win a playoff game, and fail to win the championship, you're just like the other 31 teams that didn't win the Super Bowl.

Don't settle for mediocrity when it's clear that we all want so much more.
