This. It is faulty reasoning, though. They think, almost on a yearly basis, that the Bengals losing in the playoffs somehow prevents them from getting back there. A team makes the playoffs four years in a row and that is somehow a reason why they won't make it a fifth. I call twisted logic and predetermined prejudice on that. They just can't giver in to the reality that the team they counted on for a ready joke is no longer a joke.
Year after year, the Dolphins get picked and year after year, they come up short. Doesn't stop them from picking them again. It's the same phenomenon in reverse.
