It goes both ways...but I guess it's possible that every other team that finds playoff success every 25 years does so because all the planets align.  The bottom line is that the Bengals are the only franchise that makes the playoffs consistently that doesn't have a single SB appearance, or win.





See?  One of these things is not like the other.  And I can come up with a few "asterisk games" just by looking at that list.  The Broncos managed to win playoff games/the SB with Teboner and total pile of crap Peyton at QB.  The Steelers didn't have Bell when they beat us in our house, the Cardinals made the playoffs twice since they were a 5-11 team and one of those games they were starting Ryan Lindley at QB (so they only got 1 legit shot at the playoffs and managed to get to the NFC Championship game), the Packers lost their #1 WR for the entire season and Rodgers was hitting a practice squad nobody to ALMOST get them to the NFC Championship game, the Panthers were figured dead when their #1 WR was to be gone all year, and so on.

Other teams do a whole lot more post-season winning than the Bengals with (in some cases) less chances to do so.  It may be possible that the Bengals are simply a lot unluckier than the rest of those teams but now we're getting into Chicago Cubs-level curse and excuse making.

EDIT: And yes, I'm TOTALLY listening to Loggins & Messina right now.
