If we played in that division we would have 3 times the championships. If you played in that division you'd have a playoff win.

Do you really want to do this again? We talked about this on the old boards and aside from when Mauluga was covering him (I'm still more shocked at that than the meltdown in the playoffs) and a play where everyone in Cincy's secondary developed severe tackling issues, his stats weren't that good.

Nah....I love that this division is tough. I think it has created some of the best rivalries and games.

So multiple plays with multiple defenders unable to cover him?
Also, that play occurred this past season.

One built a team from scratch the other stole one...
I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here.
The Bengals stats aren't as good because they've been around longer? In 20 seasons, the Ravens have played more playoff games than the Bengals have played in their 50 years, so there goes that argument.
One team had to build from scratch and one was a transfer and change in franchise so the one from scratch shouldn't be as good? I would assume 50 years is enough time to get that shit worked out, especially considering the Franchise that disbanded for the Ravens to become a franchise wasn't much older than the Bengals, so, yea... I mean the Pats are second and are just as old as the Bengals.

So, Bengals fans measure 'relevance' by the ability to consistently defeat mediocre teams. Interesting.

Throwing out some lame weak fallacies is pretty damn lame.

If by consistently mediocre teams you mean teams the steelers can't seem to beat then yes.

I wondered if you would look up the recent head to head records between the Steelers and Bengals before responding. Looks like you did. But congrats on finding something to work with anyway.
Tell me, do you ever get tired of having to rely on what other teams do against the Steelers for your smack, or do you just get used to it after a while?

Yea, this line of reasoning is one big circle.
In the last 3 seasons, Ravens are 5-2 against the Steelers, the Steelers are 5-2 against the Bengals, and the Bengals are 5-1 against the Ravens.
Of course, this doesn't bother me as we actually win playoff games...
