Heck, were not even the worst NFL franchise in the state!! Thanks Cleveland!
ESPN Page 2 looked at the ultimate NFL power rankings. Ranking all 32 NFL franchises all since the merger in 1970. It's an interesting list at the top with the Cowboys being ranked #1.....but on a Bengals blog, why worry about the top?? It's much better to look at the bottom third....which is where you will find Cincinnati! We came in at #24:
A special thank you to Tampa, Atlanta, Detroit, N.Y. Jets, Cleveland, Houston, New Orleans, and Arizona!!! I can't believe someone can ruin a franchise more then Mike Brown, but you guys have made us look good

The rankings took into account playoff wins, Super Bowl wins, and overall win %.
As bad as it in Cincy right now I guess it can always be worse.....just ask Detroit...Cleveland...Arizona....you get the picture.

Two Super Bowl appearances. One winning season since 1990. The Bengals' fleeting moments of success aren't enough to overcome a legacy of losing in a study such as this. Surprisingly, the Bengals have changed coaches just eight times since the merger. This would seem to indicate either that the franchise has continuity or that the Brown family is too cheap to buy out a bad coach with money remaining on the contract. We'll leave it to you to answer that question.

What in the name of Tim Couch is going on here? No. 29! Not to heap more suffering on members of the Dawg Pound, but the statistics tell the story. Consider that the Ravens have more first-team All-Pro selections and postseason wins in 12 seasons than the Browns do in the past 35. Now add two crushing playoff defeats -- not including Red Right 88. Unlike the teams ranked below, the Browns' franchise isn't without splendor. Unfortunately, nearly all of it came before 1970.
