They are interesting and I don't think anyone is really too concerned about it unless they are the types that assume everything put on the internet is done so in a 100% black and white, this is the end-all-be-all list, sense.

People are always saying that we're just expected to win in the regular season now and it's not a big deal, but the way they point it out it's almost as if they're still taking a little shot at our postseason mishaps.

That's completely warranted though IMO, until we win a playoff game we're going to be rightfully hearing about it. The only thing I disagree with is whenever the media blasts us for something in the regular season and uses our past playoff performances to do so, as if they have any sort of correlation to one another.

I laugh at these rankings, but it seems our team does do better when underrated.

I get it, until the Bengals do something in the post-season, nobody is ever going to declare them favorites to win anything.  However, I can't say there are many situations I would trade ours for right now.
