We made the playoffs in 2011 when we were picked to be the worst team in the league.
And as bad as we all fell about this last 5 year stretch remember that when the Cards went to the Super Bowl in '08 they had not had a winning season in 10 years. In fact the Cardinals franchise was even worse than the Paul Brown Jr. Bengals. They had only had one winning season in TWENTY-FOUR YEARS (1984-2008).
I am not putting any money on this years team, but anything can happen.
And what really made that Cards team? One Kurt Warner. That man is a legend to me. Took two of the losingest franchises ever to Super Bowls and won one. Should have had another (f'n steelers).
That is why I am so bullish on this Bengals team. Joe Burrow in year two with in-face meetings, and more practice time. I don't care about the injury. Adrian Peterson had one of his best seasons ever after an ACL repair and that dude is a RB! I know, the injuries aren't the same, but the way Burrow approaches everything...I think he will be stronger and better than ever.
