Why do the Bengals stink this year?

The best version of the Bengals over the past five years played the Chargers that day and got completely skunked by them. The Chargers avenged the Freezer Bowl, methinks. Anyway, the Bengals still did well the next couple of years.

And let's not forget that the Bengals could STILL turn it around and win a weak division and squeak into the playoffs yet again. And possibly even win a first-round game!!!

Love that optimism, but I just don't see it happening this year.
