Wow. How long has old Marv been the HC of Cincinnati? He must be the longest tenured coach to keep a job without winning a playoff game. Incredible.

I will say I'm glad the Cowboys aren't one of the punchlines on these graphs. I know they certainly haven't had the MOST post season success over the past decade, but it's nice to be relevant in the present with our arrow pointing up.

Lions, Dolphins and Raiders all have a chance to move up, but doubtful any would. I have always hated the Raiders , since the early 70's but even I feel bad for them with the injury

I love these kind of graphics.

Lots of teams that surprisingly haven't fared well in the playoffs...but it brings a special kind of joy to my heart knowing the eagles haven't won a playoff game since '08 :D
Commanders too. Haven't won a playoff game in over a decade. I remember when we were there a year or two before our playoff win in 2009 and Commander fans kept reminding me how we haven't won a playoff game in over 10 years. Well.

Yeah, that one surprised me for some reason. The bengals streak is hard to believe, a good portion of that fan base doesn't even know what a playoff win is.

And that one win for the Lions in 1991 ... was against us. However, we won three super bowls in the following four years so I'm good with it.
yup. I have a friend who is a Dolphin fan, loves to bring up the 93 Thanksgiving Leon Lett game and laugh. I say - dude the Dolphins lost every game after that and missed the playoffs. The Boys won every game after that and won the SB, you can have your damn laugh about Lett but you know youd switch results if you could in a second

I was living in South Florida at that time.
The following Monday at work, everyone that claimed to be a dolphins fan said...thanks for the win, and left it at that....
Except one A-hole....gave me a very hard time, and people told him to shut up, it was a gift....
So I remained calm, smiled and said...enjoy it, as it will be your last win, as we will win out.....

And sure enough we did.

Jimmy Johnson told the team after that game, that they still could meet their goal and if they win out, they will get there.
And that was the year Emmitt played with one shoulder, beating the Giants to get HFA.

The Lions won more playoff games in 1957 than they've won since 1957.

It's funny because Cleveland has even won a playoff game more recently than Detroit. But for some reason, the Lions aren't near the punching bag Cleveland is. Maybe because they have more recent success? In the modern era, they are much worse than Cleveland in my eyes.

I'm sorry, but I just don't get how one could be a fan of a team that hasn't even been to the playoffs in a decade or more.

Cleveland has just been so hapless over the last 20 years that it's going to take awhile for them to shed that reputation.

I'm always amazed that a team who consistently has premium draft picks never seems to get any better. Ever. It's amazing. I imagine Cleveland residents just disregard the Browns existence and instead watch Ohio state on Saturdays during football season.

Interesting graphic. I knew about the Bills, Bengals and Lions but forgot how long it's been for the Browns and Dolphins. I thought the Skins had gone longer without a playoff win but I forgot about that win in 05 over the Bucs. That almost shouldn't even count. They beat Chrissy Simms for a playoff victory and Mark Brunell threw for 41 yards. What a joke.

The Bengals--as often as they go to the playoffs--not having a win since 1990 is shocking.

Marvin Lewis is one of the biggest con-artists of our time. What a complete joke of a head coach.

I wouldn't go that far. He turned Cincy into a winning culture. Now his playoff performances are very bad but I would not say he's a joke.

I thought they could have been very good when Palmer was rounding into form but he got a serious injury in a playoff game and was never right after that.
