Those teams were special because they were this close to a world championship. :34 in one instance. If this team plays in a Super Bowl, regardless of the outcome, and they best the 12-4 regular season records of those '81 and '88 squads, then then you bet I will join you in saying they're the best Bengal team, ever. Period. But, sorry, not a minute before and certainly not with an entire half of a season left to play.
So why isn't there a curve again?
E.g. when Jordan was playing, you're not winning a championship. He probably would have had 9 in a row if he didn't retire. It's a little different when competition MAY be better, one will never know.
