They were 8-0, but then went 4-5 including the play-offs.  4-5 is a pretty lousy finish that shows this team has problems it needs to fix.  Much work needs done in the off season. Much work needs done in preaseason.  Bengals are far away from a trip to Super Bowl right now. There is much room for improvement after 4-5 finish.  Bengals beat themselves the last 20 seconds in play-off game, but that is no excuse, it just means they are losers. Being losers has to change. All the excuses in the world doesn't change the fact that they are losers. Only when they win in the play-offs will that change. No play-off wins since 1990 season is a long time of being losers.

3 out of the 5 losses were with a backup QB, and one of the two we lost with Dalton was a really close game with one of the best teams in the NFL at their house.... Also every single team we ended up losing too made the playoffs last year, and most games we lost was decided by a FG.
