No one ever said "playoff wins: is a meaningless statistic. I just mock people for using that as the ONLY way to measure success.
There is also a strong correlation between regular season wins and Super Bowl wins, but some people never mention wins because it does not make the Bengals look as bad over the las 10-15 years.
And we could just look at Championships won over the last 27 years, but again that does not make the Bengals look as bad because a majority of teams have not won a championship in that period.
But some people ignore the other measures and only use ONE measure for success. And it is not coincidence that it is the one measure that makes the Bengals look the worst.
Over the last decade the Bengals have the 14th best record in the league. That is not good enough and no one should be satisfied with that. But at the same time it is not possible for a team to have a better record than a majority of NFL teams without doing something right. I keep hearing how we had the worst coaches, we can't draft, and we don't sign free agents. That can not all be true if we are winning more games than most other teams in the league.
