Like you said, we can say the Bengals have played meaningful football for 16 weeks for the past 4 years, but when it terminates in 4-straight embarrassing opening weekends it might lose some luster.
As exciting as playoff football can get I wasn't exactly sailing on cloud 9 happy for at least 2 of the 4 games, but I'm a downer.
I guess. There is an entire 16-game season that leads to those playoff games every year. You seem to be discounting the importance and the excitement of those games week in and week out.
It's a lot more fun watching a team that is playing every week for a shot at the playoffs rather than draft seeding.
And 15 years ago is an awfully long time to be relishing a victory. Don't know about you, but my sports attention span is a helluva lot shorter than that.
