My opinion is until they can start breaking .500 with big stage season games, a championship is pretty much out of reach.
I do have to say that the Bengals haven't been good enough in "big games" to give impartial observers a reason to believe they can rattle off the 3 big-game streak it takes to hoist the Lombardi. I honestly figured the Bengals were going to get the Jets at home in the playoffs, Fitzmagic would meltdown and throw 4 picks and the Bengals would win their first playoff game in 25 years by a sort of default.
Twas not the case.
