Assuming they don't have a miraculous turnaround this season...it will mean they've finished 47 of their 50 seasons without a single playoff win. Think about that, 47 out of 50!
People often look at the 80's as the golden era of Bengals football because of the 2 Super Bowls, but there were only 4 winning seasons during that decade.
Others point to the Lewis era as the best, because of 7 playoff appearances...but every one of those ended in an embarrassing loss.
One things for sure -- being a Bengals fan is definitely not for the faint of heart!
Well at least we made the Super Bowl twice in that decade. I would take that over what we had going before last year.
I know this sounds stupid, but this is almost worse than the 90's. At least then I could stop caring 4 or 5 games into the season and not have to worry about the playoffs. Now, it is 17 weeks of agony. Being almost good then losing every big game the same damn way time and time again. Making the same stupid mistakes every year. Our players saying "This is Steeler week and we are pumped" and getting kicked around and out coached the same exact way every freaking time.
I know Marvin is a lot to blame for this shit, but I would love for him to make Paul Alexander go out there to the podium and explain to the media exactly what he saw in Ogbuehi, Fisher and Bodine, and explain his teaching technique to the whole world.
