How many oif those teams have been better than the Bengals over the last 5 years?

There is more to the NFL, Mike Brown, and Marvin Lewis than the last 5 years.  But hey, if you want to paint 6 humiliating playoff losses in 7 years as some sort of trashbin dynasty, all the power to you.  I can't disagree, but acting like we are an enviable team for this stretch (with the hindsight of losing 5 in a row) is tantamount to admitting (in my mind) that we are simply a 2nd-tier organization with lowered expectations compared to other franchises.

We have an organizational model that makes winning a playoff game comparable to many other franchises winning the Super Bowl, or the Conference Championship.  Perhaps I'm wrong.  Maybe it's just a curse.  Mike Brown probably stiffed a gypsy back in the early 50's.
