Do the bengals suck in big games- yes... But they are going to field a competitive team and will likely make the playoffs. Eventually the monkey will get off the back.
First off Dallas had an amazing offensive line in place, the Bengals do not. Next, they struck gold with two MVP candidates in one draft. The chances of that happening again, for any team, are very slim. Dallas is probably not a good example to use.
As for "eventually the monkey will get off the back". They are going into their 27th season with no playoff victories and Marvin will be entering his 15th season (evidently they are talking extension). I'm not so sure it will... I mean, you would hope that they might some day luck into a playoff victory, but even that seems remote at this point.
