I think the frustrating part for us is we understand the Bengals use a long term strategy, but they never deviate at any point for any reason. It could be argued once every 5 or 10 years to go sign that top player available in free agency or even a couple of mid range guys to get the team over the hump. look at past winners and you see the Pats, Ravens, Seahawks and others have not stayed 100% to one strategy, but in fact apply different shorter term tactics to win now.

Simply, the Brown family seems to exercise no flexibility in spite of not one playoff win since 1990 and zero Super Bowl wins in almost 50 years. I defend them but I too would like to see us have a win now mentality, we don't as if our owner's goal is to be competitive year after year versus a Bob Kraft goal of winning it all each year.

Exactly Luvnit.....it seems stubbornness and ego get in the way of adapting and adjusting on the fly.  It starts at the top and trickles down to the coaching staff.  It's complete lunacy.
