Marvin Lewis is what winning looks like to Bengals fans only...it reminds me of the way 4 straight SB losses only looked like winning to Bills fans.  If you can't win it all, redfine what winning is.

Exactly !

Nowhere outside of the Cincinnati area are the Bengals considered a winning franchise ! And not just because of fan bias, it's because we're not a winning franchise.

Every time I start reading a post that has the "made the playoffs blah blah blah" in it I throw up a little bit in my mouth. Yipppeeeeeeee ! We're half a tick higher than all the 8-8 teams. We're the best of the mediocre's !

And they Champion this as a measure of success. ASTONISHING

And how it's not completely crystal clear that Marvin Lewis is not the answer ? BAFFLING
