So, I take nothing away from this team, and this 36-year-fan and avowed agnostic prays they finally hoist the Lombardi come February. But if you want to be considered the best team in team history, then you have to at least be playing on a Sunday in February liie those two squads before you.
So, I beleive if they lose in the divisionsal round, there are no moral victories. They're just a team that won a lot of regular season games and flushed a golden opportunity away by once again choking in the playoffs, and you know that's what every single person outside of this fan base will call them. And, yeah, and that would still probably be a fun ride up until the flaming crash at the end. But, it won;t make them the best bengal team ever.
Get some post-season wins and then let's re-examine the debate.
Again, I would have to disagree.
We could have won in the playoffs in 09, only to lose the following week, and I would still take this year's team over the 09 squad as the best Bengals team ever.
How did the squads in those long ago years make the SB? Did they have to play dominant teams like the Patriots or Broncos? Or did they get favorable match ups?
