Outside of those 5 teams, only 2 other teams have winning records since 2000 in AFC (Denver and Tenn). Since Mike took over 8 teams have moved out of that original city , Many teams have wasted $$ on Free agent signings, or lost key players to other teams. Some cities have seen an outsider come in buy the team and take it away... so don't think the Bengals fan base is the only one that has had down years, lack of playoff appearances/wins, frustrations and failures.
Since 1991 when Brown took over to before we drafted Burrow, we did not have a single playoff win. 30 years. He was without question a Top 3 worst owner in sports for many of those years. Those that dont believe this are either too young to have known or did not follow very closely and have become more involved since Burrow arrived.
It was very hard sledding with the bad teams but it was excruciating when we had teams that needed a just a couple of pieces to make serious runs. Brown owes this fanbase a massive apology. Thank goodness Katie has taken the reins for the most part.
