I just read this and came here to make sure it wasn't posted before I did it myself.

Reading that article makes you realize just how many things have to go right for a team to become a big deal, and just how many things can go wrong and hold them back from becoming a really big deal.

If just a few things would have went their way instead of the other way, the Bengals could have a much more storied franchise. Hell, if Brown would have hired Walsh as the head coach, the Bengals could have been the best team of the 80s.

If Cook or Palmer wouldn't have gotten hurt, if Billups wouldn't have dropped that INT, if the 90s drafting would have been a bit less horrible....the Bengals are definitely one of the bigger "what could have been" teams.

Good read.
