I will say that I'd personally count a first round bye as a "win" by default. Additionally, I was pretty sure 2015 was our year because the Jets were going to be the 6th seed and Fitzpatrick was going to come into here in his first playoff game and put on a 4 INT meltdown that would break our drought by default. Alas, he melted down a week early, let the Steelers in, and the rest is history.
In 28 years we should have been able to win a fluke game like that. It takes legitimate effort to not win for such a long time in the NFL, and the Bengals and the Lions are really the only ones who have pulled it off...with an honorable mention for the expansion Browns.
