Well we haven't been 8-8 for awhile, but I don't think that's a complete lie. I've seen Mike Brown defend a losing record over an 8 year span. He used terms like "we've been competitive". Any other owner would've said something along the lines of "this is unacceptable". Instead, Mike Brown was very defensive.

I'd have to do some digging but I may be able to find the article. It was on bengals.com I believe, sometime after the 2010 season.

They do sometimes find someone decent, but since they don't seem to scout other team's players very well, they tend to shy away from those players for the most part. Too many mistakes in that department and they always blame the player, not their own scouting of that player.

Denver, on the other hand, knows exactly how to scout free agent talent.

Agree 100%. It really has seemed like the Bengals - at least in part - avoid FA because of their own mistakes. If you really think about it, guys like Antonio Bryant, Antwan Odom and Jason Allen didn't exactly have great track records even before we signed them. Bryant was injured and inconsistent. Odom had 1 good season playing next to Haynesworth. Allen was considered a bust. Coles turned 32 the year we signed him.

There are free agents with really good track records, but we never have gone after those types. I wanted to trade for Boldin in 2010 because he had easily the best track record of all the good WR's who were available. Instead, we signed Bryant and Boldin was then traded to Baltimore. Obviously we know how that worked out.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
