Sadly the magical run thing is an extreme outlier.
The way the Bengals build their roster, almost exclusively through the draft will rely on us to hit on A LOT of draft picks over a 5 year span and get big contributions from players on rookie contracts to win...and it isn't sustainable unless we keep hitting on draft picks.
After 2015, we lost A LOT of our core players to free agency and didn't replace them.
It is honestly a tough model to make work. Now, if we had a Tom Brady at QB, then we could shuffle different players in and out and he'd make them better. But we don't. Same with having a great coach like Belicheck.
