I just really don't know why after hitting on a formula that ended decades of heartache, people want to move back to one that failed us again and again.

And, do you realize what prevented those teams from having greater success?  The very same thing that prevented the Bengals from returning to the Super Bowl last year, injuries.

It wasn't the team design that failed to produce, it was something outside of the organization's ability to control.
