So while you say "we've been to more superbowls than a dozen other teams" does it even matter if only @50% of the population was even alive then and less than @40% even have memories of these good old days? They are, in fact, right that in their lifetime the Bengals have struggled to be mediocre.

This is total BS. If someone who had just been a fan since '11 talked about how good the Bengals have been the first thing you would throw at them is what happened in the '90's.
A teams history is its history. You can't cry your eyes out about what happened in the 90's and act like the 80's never happened because "that was too long ago".
