The Bengals had a Top 3 roster for a couple years...and instead of investing every dollar into putting a winner on the field...management stayed status quo (retaining Lewis, not cutting washed up players and upgrading at Center, etc.)
The result: 5 straight playoff appearances with 5 straight losses.
Good enough to make the playoffs. Not good enough to win.
Certainly not good enough to win a Super Bowl. Usually not good enough to beat good teams in Primetime games.
Next year will be our year...
A few of those appearances relied on other teams losing to get in.
