I clearly meant to say playoff wins. My bad.
Anyways, I don't think the average analyst/expert/talking head thinks the Bengals are going to be bad, but we have finished in 12th place 5 years running and we are pretty much predicted to do the same thing again. What's the big deal? The optimists want acknowledgement for the past 5 years and we're getting it...Bengals...10th place or so again this year.
Seems fair to me. I just don't get the point of stomping our feet and wondering why 5 straight 12th place finishes don't make us the favorite to be #1. You can't trade in 5 12th place ribbons for one 1st place trophy...though that DOES make me think of the carnivals where you can trade 4 small prizes for medium and then trade 4 mediums for a large, and so on.
