Did we not win the division, win the AFC, go to the MF'n Super Bowl, AND get better?

This is dead on.  And we don't need to puff our chest out as a fan base (the humility and pure enjoyment of the team is why so many jumped on the bandwagon last year...like Kay Adams.  That, and the team is crazy fun).

But you nailed it.  Other teams are like:  Wait, we have a good QB...all we need is some better pass rush, a dynamic WR, and a solid defense and we can do what the Bengals did, right?  

As so many have said, they simply view last season as a fluke or luck.  Good, they won't see them coming, again.
