It would be tempting to say that the Bengals could do what the Colts did a few years ago, The Colts went 2-14 or something and get Andrew Luck and then they got lots better after that. Such a thing probably wouldn't work though, given the way the Bengals are. For me being a Bengal's fan is more about tradition than it is wanting to align with a winner. It was fun to watch those 2011 to 2015 seasons where they often kicked some serious NFL a$$ though.
To answer the question then, yeah somehow turn it around and get a playoff win (not likely, but wouldn't it be great!!!).
I have to add that last year's Super Bowl left a sour taste in my mouth. It was so obviously orchestrated and yes, FIXED! The Falcons may as well have sent third-graders out there for as easily as the Patriots got the last two scores. This year's Chief's game for the opener may have been a fix in the opposite direction, for the Patriots to get whipped at home and for there to be the story of "Does Tommy still have it?" Those two long scores by the Chiefs were ridiculous since it looked like some of the Patriots were standing still.
I didn't say playoff win. Just making it to the playoffs. Would you rather try it again with Marv at the helm? Or would you like to start looking in a new direction? And of course that SB was fixed. The league is to a certain extent.
