It is really pathetic how so many people ignore everything good about the Bengals. They claim the 5 straight playoff appearances are meaningless because the post season is all that matters, but then they turn around and act like 2 Super Bowls don't count either. It is like they bend over backwards to try and be as negative as possible
As far as ignoring the good. The NFL is setup for good things to happen to franchises. 23 of 32 teams have been to a Super Bowl since 1991.
26 teams have atleast 5 playoff wins since 1991. 26. That means only 6 teams don't and some are expansion franchises like Houston and Jacksonville.
And we're supposed to hang our hats on 5 playoff appearances in a row without a single playoff win. Granted making the playoffs 5 years in a row isn't easy...and is an accomplishment. The fan base wants playoff wins and a Super Bowl.
