Yea, the regular season is exciting, but we're the opposite of the Ravens, Giants, or Steelers; teams that make the playoffs and people think "Look out, this team can go on a run."  By this point it seems like people around here, and even experts, are talking about this being the make or break year Dalton wins or doesn't win a playoff game.  People already assume the Bengals will make it, so the important stuff isn't going to happen for months after the season starts, I guess.

Anyways, I think we're getting a little off topic but good discussion.

The problem is, it never seems to be the make or break year for Mediocre Marv and his Merry Band of Tenured Bums. :snark:
