The Bengals have not won a playoff game since the 1990 season.
I believe these 2 events are highly correlated. 26 years and counting of not winning a playoff game.
Even up till 1990, they only experienced playoff victories in 3 of Paul's 23 years. Even though they've played in 2 Super Bowls, postseason success just hasn't been a part of this franchise.
Of course, Mike's run as owner is now in it's 29th year without a playoff win - barring some incredible turnaround - which is astounding in a very depressing way.
