If we consider a Super Bowl as the barometer for season success, then the Patriots have only succeeded 9% and the Steelers 6% since their inceptions. Both teams have "failed" in over 90% of their seasons.
Winning a Super Bowl is crazy hard.
Absolutely. It's clear that the Bengals are one of a few teams with the unquestionable talent to win it all. But the key point is 'one of a few teams'. Like last night's game showed, when the big boys meet up, it's a close game and it can go either way.
5-2 in the playoffs for a franchise that hadn't won a single playoff game in 30 years. Back to back AFCCG's at the supposed current dynasty, and we're 1-1 with them.
