You said #2 was considered more successful than #1, and #2 was only going to playoffs two years out of five but getting one playoff victory out of those two appearances.
You meant to say #1, which was five playoff appearances and no playoff wins.
And unless the Bengals go to the Super Bowl, you feel that making the playoffs and not winning a playoff game vs winning just one or two playoff games are essentially the same thing.
This got me thinking.
In 15 years under Marvin I would rather the Bengals go to 3 AFC championship games and then lose the other 12 seasons than I would lose in the first round every other year. So, basically, every 5 seasons they're good enough to make a run at it vs. being the first one voted off the island every 2 seasons. At least in the AFC Championship game you could say they were close or could maybe make it. At that point, I would think Marvin was a hell of a coach.
