Here's what I know as factual:

1.  Lewis is signed for 2017, and unless this team disintegrates this year, and/or Mike Brown has a fatal aneurysm, and/or Lewis retires, he will be the head coach in 2017.

2.  Lewis has made the playoffs 7 times (years), Paul Brown 3 times (years), Forrest Gregg 2 times (years), Sam Wyche 2 times (years)

3.  Andy Dalton played 5 years and made the playoffs 5 times (years), Kenny Anderson played 16 years and made the playoffs 4 times (years), Boomer Esiason played 12 years and made the playoffs 2 times (years)

4.  It doesn't matter how many playoff games a team wins, unless they win the last one.  (Again, ask Jim Kelly or Dan Marino)

Focusing on #4, That is what makes me so excited.  This team is very close. Every year they have a very real shot.  Yes, it equates to pressure, but it is like Kiper said when Dalton was drafted.  The kid is allergic to losing.  And I love this team right now....absolutely love it.
