-No team played fewer games against teams with a winning record than the Bengals (7) yet we barely made the playoffs at 10-7.

-13 games into the season we were 7-6 with the #14 offense and #17 defense.

-We got hot and won 6 games but half of them were decided on the last play of the game.

Anyone who does not understand why a lot of NFL fans see our '21 season as a fluke is just in denial.

Good teams win by making plays on the last play of the game. Bad teams blow it. It's no different when the Zac Taylor fanclub was saying we were close because we were losing close. Those were bad teams losing the way bad teams lose. Getting hot at the right time is generally how teams make Super Bowl runs.
