Since the Bengals last playoff win...

I've always said it is almost unfathomable that neither Marvin, nor Mike, has lucked into a playoff win.  You say "26 years" and know it is a long time, but when you really think about it... George H.W. Bush was still president, most people that had a home computer were on AOL, no one had ever heard of a "smart phone".  There are fans of this organization who were born, grew up, went to college, and now have children of their own since the last playoff victory.  26 years in an insane amount of time...

A lot of it is that, and admittedly I'm guilty. I've never seen the Bengals win a playoff game. So it's like a lesser version of the Cubs not winning a world series. It's just a dubious streak I'd like to be rid of. But it's more than just a fan thing. I think psychologically, this team needs it. If you think 0-5 has never crossed AJ Green's mind (just for example), you're crazy. It's like saying Lebron never thinks about wanting more championships. 

Btw, AOL wasn't even around in 1990 lol. Nobody I knew back then could afford a computer or one of those brick cell phones. It was just stuff you saw in movies. Occasionally I got to play Oregon Trail on a Macintosh at school.
