But I have to ask why is it one extreme or another? so why is it if we win a (hypothetical) SB, we have 10 years of crappy football? Why cant we have a SB followed by 10 years of winning better than 50% of our games or so?

It's the nature of a hypothetical "would you rather" question.  You have to have one or the other or else it isn't much of a discussion.  My take on the Bengals of today is that like the Bills of the 90s we have been so consistent in both good AND bad ways that our successes are sort of held against us.  I can't blame non fans for taking that approach and I have to admit if the Steelers imploded 4 times a row in the playoffs I wouldn't be telling all the people laughing to shut up and respect 4-straight playoff appearances.
