“Even by disinterested chance a team could not do this bad toward post season.”
Well the Bungals lost 5 straight playoff games in a row after only going to the playoffs twice in 20 years, which they also lost. That’s 7 playoff first round wildcard losses in 30 years. Let’s see Dallas top that. Of course they finally got Burrow and Chase and things have changed a bit, but they still lost the Super Bowl and have missed the playoffs the last two years. That’s why we lovingly call them the Bungals, never met a game they couldn’t lose.
I am a bengals fan and lived in Ohio 15 years.
I understand the frustration but they are why I find the Dallas situation absurd.
The Dallas franchise has exponentially more resources than cinci.
But the needle never moves. As I noted earlier I think dak is about as good as mahomes.
I still cynically believe that there is some sort of NFL sanctioned melodrama at work here.
