We have one of the most talented rosters in the league and we're all skeptical that they can do anything with it.
1 playoff win won't do a lot except break an embarrassing streak, because if we lose the next one, we'll be 1-7 in the playoffs. Yipee.
Sure you'll be happy we finally won one, but in the midst of the offseason, you'll just be saying what you have been saying the last half decade.
I have to disagree with you here. Sort of. I honestly think the fanbase will be thrilled by a playoff win. The day that dreadful streak ends is going to easily be the greatest time I've had as a Bengals fan.
One thing the Bengals never done under Mike Brown is have any inkling of playoff success. If the Bengals win a playoff game this year, I'll be able to talk about a Super Bowl run in '16 without feeling like an idiot. So as far as being a fan goes, it's going to great.
As a poster on these boards though, it'll probably be more complicated. I'm sure plenty of folks will be saying "I told you so" to all the doubters. The only response "doubters" will have would be to bring up the 1-7 record, which will make it seem as if they're not happy about the playoff win.
Honestly, it's pretty sad that I can predict how it's going to go once we win a playoff game, but these boards are always divisive and predictable.
