Now 0-7 doesn’t seem so bad.

Meh, almost every year a team that wasn't supposed to win in the playoffs wins...it's just never us when we aren't supposed to win BUT it can be the team that wasn't supposed to even be in the playoffs when they do play us.  It's amazing.


2005 - Palmer got hurt, weren't supposed to win after that
2009 - Palmer and Chad are stinky DIVAs who never win
2011 - we weren't supposed to win, apparently.  Can't be expected to beat TJ Yates
2012 - we weren't supposed to win because we aren't the type of 6 seed that can win
2013 - we lost to a team that wasn't supposed to win, ok this one is on us
2014 - too many injuries to win
2015 - can't beat the Steelers, the NFL is rigged in their favor

So really, Marvin Lewis is more like 0-1 in the playoffs when you think about it.  I mean, we just saw a Titans team that wasn't supposed to be in the playoffs go on the road and win...but we couldn't just win one of those types of games once in 6 tries.  Ouch. Like I said, anything can happen once you make the playoffs (as evidenced by both 7-9 teams that made it winning their opening game), unless you are the Bengals. We lose when we're supposed to lose and lose when we're supposed to win as long as it's the post-season.
