It's in the numbers, Holmes.

NFC North. 

This is the year in the schedule rotation where the black and blue division shows up on the Bengals schedule. The last 3 iterations of this schedule?

2005 -- 11-5
2009 -- 10-6
2013 -- 11-5

I'm sure most if not all Bengals fans would rank those as the top 3 years in the Super Marvio regime. 

Time to add 2017 to that list of successful, fun to watch seasons. Only this time, no bow out in the post season. 

Think it's all just a bunch of hooey? Let's look at the NFC East rotation from last year.

2004 -- 8-8
2008 -- 4-11-1
2012 -- 10-6 (after a 3-5 start) 
2016 -- 6-9-1

Or the NFC West rotation. 

2003 -- 8-8
2007 -- 7-9
2011 -- 9-7
2015 -- 12-4

NFC South

2002 -- 2-14 (not the Marvio regime, obv)
2006 -- 8-8
2010 -- 4-12
2014 -- 10-5-1

2012, 2014 and 2015 are the only other years besides the NFC North rotation where they had a winning record. 

Take it to the bank, Holmes. 


EDITED: To add the NFC South, which i somehow forgot in the OP. o_o
