That's what you get for Drafting well and Signing some top free agents to upgrade your team! SUCKERS!

......Come on, you have to be smarter than that. 

You have one example in the past 20 years where that truly worked and that team is now in cap purgatory.  Hardly anyone gave them a chance?  Say they had lost to New England, and been out in round 2, everyone would have said "what a waste of money they gave all those free agents to try and win while their window was open".

Denver had a MUCH older team, and a QB clearly on his last legs.  That is not the Bengals, and the Bengals are in place to contend for years to come.  

If the Bengals do as I think they will, and sign a couple veterans that are not FAs (i.e- they have been released) like a LB and a WR, or maybe a safety, they will get a tremendous windfall of compensatory draft picks for the 2017 draft.  Those will be able to be traded at that time, and only increases their value.  

No one will want to admit to this because it just hurts too damn much, but if Dalton doesn't injure his thumb, I don't think it is Denver that hoists that trophy.
